The Canadiens are off to their worst start in 70 years, but if you're looking to blame someone, don't start with Jacques Martin.
By now you’ve probably heard about or seen how the usually staid Jacques Martin called out a rookie radio reporter for having the temerity to question why Mathieu Darche was on the power play instead of Erik Cole Saturday night.

Panthers GM Dale Tallon says his team needed a shakeup, but it sure appears Saturday's trade with Vancouver has as much to do with dollar signs as with wins.

Arron Asham's gesture after knocking Jay Beagle to the ice is easily worthy of a suspension from the NHL.
Sidney Crosby has been cleared for contact in practice, but can’t seem to find anyone in the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup willing to give him that first, but pivotal, hit.
