Sports Talk Radio Exploits Lunatic Fringe
Some time ago, political parties figured out that dumb people vote too. Why go to the trouble of presenting intelligent arguments in support of a platform that would only be fully understood by so few? There is a huge pool of the electorate that is easily influenced by other means.
The politics of division, negative ads, and fear mongering was popularized. Continue reading
Moving Forward with Carey Price
Last Wednesday, the Montreal Canadiens opened up their pre-season schedule as the Boston Bruins were in town for a visit. Seeing as the Habs organization traded away Jaroslav Halak in the off-season and acquired Alex Auld to clearly be Price’s backup, there is no argument in Montreal with regards as to who will be the number one goaltender in Montreal this season, it will be Carey Price. Continue reading
The Persecution of Carey Price
There were many who made mistakes in Wednesday night’s first exhibition game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins (read game review here). The usually-flawless Bell Centre game-day production team allowed Charles Prevost-Linton to sing the anthems with a faulty mic. Stephane Auger and Greg Kimmerly blew a call that resulted in Andrew Conboy going to the box for being a victim. Continue reading
Loons Want Symbols, Fans Want Stanley
AllHabs.net was offline for a brief time in the wee hours of Friday morning. At the same time, there was a major blackout in Provo, Utah. Logic dictates that since the home of Brigham Young University is the location for our service provider, the power outage was to blame for the disruption to our readers.
I’m not buying it. I blame Pauline Marois. Continue reading
The MSM Sound Check – Another Perspective
Over the course of the past few days, I’ve sat and listened intently as this ridiculous melodrama has played out…and I’ve finally reached a point where I feel I need to offer my two cents (regardless of how much it’s worth due to the current exchange rate between US and Canadian currencies – lol).
First let me congratulate Rick on not only writing these extremely intelligent, well-balanced pieces of journalistic GOLD but for also having the where-with-all to stand up to the bullies and territorial hounds who make up a growing portion of the MSM…it’s not often enough that their actions and words are held under a microscope.

MSM Takes One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Following the “The MSM Doth Protest Too Much, Methinks” and its companion piece, “MSM and New Media, Next Steps”, we seemed to be making some progress. There were open discussions, an airing of views and, dare I say, a beginning of a better understanding of issues on both sides. There even seemed to be some enthusiasm for my proposal of a media summit.
It wasn’t exactly the Treaty of Versailles but it was an improvement on tensions that have been described as the battle between the mainstream media (MSM) and bloggers. Continue reading
Previewing the ‘Q’
Here marks my first post at All Habs, as I’ve been hiding behind the curtain for a few weeks now and it’s high time to come out. I’m Kathy, alias czechtacular, and I’ll be looking to provide you with some … Continue reading
MSM and New Media, Next Steps
Who says that you can’t quote Shakespeare in a hockey story? The reaction to The MSM Doth Protest Too Much, Methinks has been overwhelming.
Some people are disappointed that this has become such a combustible topic. Me too. Most fans have already moved on and enjoy their hockey coverage from many sources, both mainstream media (MSM) and non-traditional. They find the debate tedious. Continue reading
Who is Alex Auld?
…very little has been said about the man who will second Carey Price between the pipes, that man being Alex Auld. Sure we’ve been told he’s a journeyman, a “for sure” number two, a goalie who leaves no doubt in the eyes of anyone that he will not be able to challenge Carey Price for the number one position, but who exactly is Alex Auld and what has be done so far in his career? Continue reading
The MSM Doth Protest Too Much, Methinks
There was an interesting sub-plot on Thursday during the Canadiens teleconference. For some in the mainstream media, it seemed to overtake their focus.
After waiting all summer, what could be more important than the signing of the team’s number one goaltender?
Turf. Continue reading
