I have a question for Leafs fans about Tomas Kaberle. He looks completely and utterly lost on the ice since joining the Habs. This is saying something, because he's playing alongside the slowest man in the history of hockey (Hal Gill - who I can forgive, because he puts in an honest effort every game), two rookies (Emelin and Diaz) and two near-rookies (Subban and Weber). I remember there being a lot of hype about Kaberle in Toronto ... was this a case of him being the closest thing to a competent player on the Leafs (such that the Toronto-centred media deluded themselves into believing he was good)? Or has his skill set dropped off dramatically now that he's been infected with the "loser" mentality?
I'm sure you Leafs fans have a question you want to ask us Habs fans about an equally over-hyped player, the answer to which is after the break.

Since they've had a couple of weeks to ponder, this is obviously exempt from my previous criticism of instantaneous analysis.

Hockey Heaven
The NHL training camps have opened, which means that the silly season of speculation has started.
I'm going to lump the silly season into three categories: political, Halak and the next captain.

My Adventure Buying Habs Tickets
I'm going to Montreal in October for the Canadian Science Policy Conference, last week I booked my train and hotel tickets and paid my registration fee. I have been a Habs fan my entire life, and this is the first time I will be in Montreal during hockey season. Obviously I had to get tickets, and this is the tape-delayed live blog of my quest to buy a ticket on September 11th
