Michael Ziegler
Education: Bialik High School Class of 2013, Dawson College Class of 2015, McGill Political Science Student. Born and raised in Montreal, the Canadiens have always been a big part of my life. What started out as a way to blow off some steam after a tough loss in the 2011 playoffs eventually became a popular hit with Facebook friends around the internet. On PGT, I like to dissect each and every Habs game and promote discussion about the team. Other interests: Aside from Hockey and sports in general, I love music. During the summer I work for Camp Wingate, a sleep-away sports camp just north of Montreal. Favourite places in Webspace: If you are looking for the latest news around the NHL, visit NHL.com For more Montreal Canadiens talk, visit Allaboutthehabs.com, or hockeyinsideout.com

Round 2: Thoughts on Game 7 vs. Boston

1) I don't even know where to start. Wow. What a feeling. What a team.

2) Dale Weise. Gotta find a way to sign this guy. 1 goal, 4 hits, and played pretty much the perfect game. Amazing story.

3) Danny Briere had 2 points tonight on 9 shifts (8:06 TOI). That's a point on 22% of his shifts. Also has 7 points in 5 career game 7s, and has a 4-1 record.

4) Max Pacioretty is back. Watch out, New York.

5) Nathan Beaulieu has 2 points in his first 2 playoff games. Stud.

6) I never, ever, ever, want to hear that Tuukka Rask is a better goalie than Carey Price. Ever.

7) Speaking of Price, including the olympics, Carey has allowed 2 goals in 5 elimination games, this year.

8) David Desharnais had himself a game. DD outworked every Bruin that came near him, and made a hell of a pass to Pacioretty on the Habs' second goal.

9) Heroic effort from Tomas Plekanec tonight. In his classic Plekanec way, he was one of the best players on the ice, yet still managed to go unnoticed. He played 23:50, first among forwards, including 4:06 on pk, second on the team behind Gorges.

10) In case you weren't happy enough, the Habs could get Alex Galchenyuk back next series.

11) Bring on the Rangers!!!

12) You're gonna wanna watch this.

Phoenix Coyotes: Where Will They End Up?

Before I begin, I would just to inform all of you that because of the circumstances (missing the playoffs) this blog has become more of an NHL blog than a Habs blog for the rest of the season. I hope you all stick around and we'll be back talking Habs next season.  Which brings me to today's piece. There has been a lot of talk over the past couple years/ weeks about the Phoenix Coyotes potentially relocating. Here are a list of cities that could end up with an NHL team and why they are a good or bad fit for an NHL team. Kansas City Although there has already been a NHL team in Kansas City, I personally don't like the fit. When I think Kansas City, the last thing that comes to mind is hockey. While the city could probably bring in a solid amount of fans, as far as I know, there is no arena in the city that could seat 15,000+ people. Las Vegas I like Vegas more than I like Kansas City, but still, common, it's Vegas. The one main problem I have is that Vegas is

2014 Olympics: Team Canada Roster Predictions

The 2014 winter Olympics will be held in Sochi, Russia. And while we are still 2 years away, it is never to early to predict the roster that will be representing our country in the most important sporting event of the year. GM: Steve Yzerman Head Coach: Mike Babcock Assistant Coaches: Ken Hitchcock, Kirk Muller Forwards: Taylor Hall - Sidney Crosby - Steven Stamkos Rick Nash - Jonathan Toews - Claude Giroux Corey Perry - Ryan Getzlaf - John Tavares Jordan Eberle - Jordan Staal - Eric Staal Tyler Seguin - Matt Duchene Defense: Shea Weber - Drew Doughty Duncan Keith - Kris Letang Brent Burns - PK Subban Tyler Myers Goalies: Carey Price Marc- Andre Fleury Cam Ward                         If I'm Hockey Canada, that's the coaching staff and management I'm putting together and if I'm Steve Yzerman that's what my squad would look like. Just remember that I did not exactly choose players based on their skill levels but instead, by need. F
