HIT THE POST WITH CJAD'S RICK MOFFAT, VOICE OF THE ALS & THE CANADIENS

On the eve of the Als' homeopener I threw my usual curveball question at Anthony Calvillo--"Is Cahoon more likely to see his record-setting touchdown catch on his first play, or is he more likely to dust off his breakdancing celebration for the occasion?" Several years before, Cahoon had...

Hit the Post with Rick Moffat, CJAD 800's Voice of the Als & Habs

Article online since July 4th 2008
Isn't it strange that the Habs' big free agent signing is bigger than the Als' new middle linebacker? Whether you lust most for a Stanley Cup and a Grey Cup in the same season, you have to be impressed with Georges "The Bash" Laraque and the way lightweight Dwayne Taylor has become the Monster...

Als Offense from Dunk’n’Dink to Slam Dunk? Nobody remembers the first line of Lord of the Rings or War and Peace, so we can quickly forget the first play from scrimmage of the Marc Trestman Era. All kinds of motion, as secretly foretold by Anthony Calvillo, who was looking like a...

Get fit without working out

Article online since June 4th 2008
Yes it’s true. You can get in great shape without working out! And if you believe that, you also believe in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Clause. I realize this sounds a bit in your face, but how many pieces of miracle fitness equipment have you bought after seeing that “it’s got to be true”...

You may know him as Dr. Jay, West Island dentist, but Jay McMullan is former defense partner with Detroit Coach Mike Babcock, and he's thrilled the coach is going to his lucky tie for Game 1 against the Penguins. McMullan tells me, tongue planted firmly in cheek, he knew Babcock would go...

Est-ce que les finales d’associations de l’Est et de l’Ouest sont commencées? Parce que si oui, je n’étais pas au courant. Et comme les Canadiens ont déjà été éliminés des prétendants, ce qui est tout à fait inacceptable, pourquoi ne pas oublier la coupe Stanley cette année...

Article online since May 8th 2008

Do you really think Mark Streit will pass up millions of dollars because his girlfriend's a Montrealer? He's a nice enough guy to consider it, but does anyone really think anyone in the NHL gives "hometown discounts" anymore, if GM's don't offer MORE to guys with roots in a certain city...

Shouldn't Martin Biron now be formally named Police Chief of Montreal? He's done more to quiet the streets after games than anyone else! While we're at it, if you get demoted for putting the Habs' logo up on a firestation window, does that mean our Mayor would promote you if you put...

Article online since April 28th 2008
It looks like Mike Ribeiro (a Bob Gainey cast-off from a couple of years ago before he became a point-a-game producer) is playing a major role leading the Dallas Stars in the playoffs. The Montreal native will probably get into the Western Conference semi-final as they won two road games...
