Let me tell Andrew Ference, one defenseman to another, he should spend more time worrying about going to back to get the puck than to worry about Paul Kelly's ability to do the job as head of the PA.

The saddest news I can imagine on the day of the first preseason game. He was also to be inducted into a Hall of Fame this week, and the Globe had a Q&A with him. Godspeed and thank you, Fred.

In case you needed another reason to make fun of a Habs fan...

This spineless excuse for a man is marrying a Leafs fan, taking his wife's name, and bought a Habs jersey with her (now his) last name on the back. Wow, I have no words.
