If hockey is played the way it should be, then why aren't the Habs winning, tabarnoosh. Hockey outside on frozen ice, man this is really a great sport. There's a puck and there's 12 guys. What team would Jesus skate for? The Habs chalice!


The first word Wayne Gretzky uttered as he skated out onto the frozen football field that has been turned into a hockey rink is not for publication — so let us make do with what immediately followed.

"_____ it's cold!"

Update: The Habs won, 4-3 over the Oilers. This holds up my contention that the NHL would be vastly improved if they played their season on natural ice. When the ice melts, the season is over.


CBC SPORTS ONLINE - An NHL-record crowd of 57,167 braved freezing temperatures only to leave disappointed as the Montreal Canadiens edged the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium.

I did a search for talk about sports as I am looking for information on where Halifax Mooseheads players lived and the history about them and their culture. We have and have had hockey players from all over the world play with the local hockey team here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I am researching anyone who has played in the past and the present for the Halifax Mooseheads hockey team. As I was web surfing, going from one topic to the next I came upon your website as I was looking for hockey blogs, as I thought about creating a blog on the Halifax Mooseheads hockey team. Anyways I read your blog to see if you had any information on how to operate a blog.
I will be back to see if you added anything new that might help me.
Good luck with your website.
Take care and God Bless
