About
Kevin Mio is a Montreal Gazette editor who grew up playing hockey, watching the Canadiens every chance he could on television and reading articles about the team by some of the people he works with today. He still remembers going to the Forum with his father to watch the Canadiens and was even fortunate enough to skate on Forum ice with his minor hockey team.
From Mats Naslund to Saku Koivu, he has always enjoyed watching the small, speedy and skilled players, while also admiring the gritty players that are essential to any team’s success.
From his one-on-one interviews with members of the team to a look at other coverage of the Canadiens, he will keep fans posted on their favourite team and looks forward to sharing his love of hockey with other passionate fans.

Happy 100th anniversary Habs.
Figured this would be a good time to show off my Habs "wall of fame", autographed 8x10 collection I have hanging in my office.

love the instrumental anthems, just great stuff, puts singers to shame
Tears boys tears.
If we loose after that tonight. The boys have no soul.
Wow...what a ceremony. Congratulations HABS on your 100th Anniversary.
I have lived in Toronto for many years but all my life I have been a HABS fan. Yes, they have peed me off for many years but during my younger days I loved going in to work after yet another Stanley Cup and my co-workers were quiet as if nothing had happened yet I know they were at home the night before cursing and swearing at the HABS on TV as they skated around with the Cup. I always waited for the right moment then would calmly say "Hey did anyone watch the game last night".... They were so pissed off I`m sure they hated me but I didn`t care I would stick it up their butts every chance I got...Thank you HABS for giving that to me. I now tell these guys not to feel bad there will be a huge celebration in a few more years to celebarte the Laffs 50th Anniversary.
The rest of the league could only dream of what we have been treated to over the past 100 years boys and girls.
What memories we keep with us.
haha, Serge looks like a grumpy bastard
If I was O'Byrne, I'd tell them where to stick it. I wouldn't change my number unless they bought the number off me or when I left the organization.
You have the type of character the Habs wouldn't want in their organization, you wouldn't have to worry about leaving.
Yes, O'Byrne would tell the team where to stick it.. You my friend, are ignorant, a three year NHL player has no pull in any deicison.
Cheers,
Andrew
You're either being sarcastic or have the same intelligence or less than the person represented in your avatar.

The Dog, Blue for sure is brighter than both.
LMAO ... thanks for the laugh.
Add me to the list of laughing their arses off! :)
They call me Shane
Best news I've heard in a long time. Can't think of two more deserving candidates.

john stevens gets canned. bout time.
I only hope a second firing comes this week from the new ownership in Montreal. I don't mean the coach either.
Well, I'd fire the coach as well! The game has passed them both by I'm afraid.
O'Byrne may have to double it up to #6.

No disrespect to Mr. Bouchard and Mr. Lach who are both deserving but ....
Toe Blake, #6
T.C.
tc.denault@habsworld.net
Yeah, Blake was my fav of the group of non-retired numbers as well.
Of course, now we have only 2 single digit numbers available: 6 and 8.
Cool, I always personally found it a bit surprising before that Bouchard didn't have his # retired. O'Byrne will have to get creative for his new number I believe, doubling it won't work and neither will reversing it as #30 seems to be a special goalies-only number around the league.

#8 is available. It's a good number for both forwards and D.
It certainly isn't going to be honoured for Komisarek.
Hilarious that they're retiring surprise numbers tonight. These guys are just so cute and clever when it comes to non-hockey-related product.
Now, about this year's edition. . .
I don't tend to care if the Canadiens win or not any more. The uniforms and celebrations and reflections and statues - they make it all worth the price of admission. They should change the tickets to be "double features" - Act 1: celebration of oldest living fan and panel discussion of greatest games in Habs History, Act 2: Hockey match. In the second Act, they should re-enact old games rather than play new ones based on the one identified as most interesting in Act 1.
Excellent news and most deserved accolades for two legends of the team.
Elmer must be beside himself. Should've been done years ago but thankfully it's not too late.

So does O'Byrne change his number then??
Number 8?
Any guesses?
Ryan O'Byrne #20
Cheers, Andrew
Maybe the newly vacated 28..? A little Desjardins, a little Dykhuis..
LOLZ!!!! That would be awesome!!!
Wonder what number o'bryne is gonna take?
In Gainey We Trust!
Finally ... Lach will join the Rocket!!!!!
Elmer Lach's #16 jersey should join the Rocket's #9 in the rafters.
I agree one one the greats both as a player and a gentleman.
Now we need to help Dave get Rogie in the HALL
Hahaha I was looking for a post by you!
