Beware the drunken ramblings of an Irish kid on March 17.

It will happen.

We're going to 7am breakfast at a pub. And we won't be the only one.

Welcome to Halifax, where everyone joins in on irresponsible drinking habits!

There are 11 games tonight, including the epic showdown of Canadiens-Rangers. So i'll have lots of fodder that will seem completely genius to me by the time 11 p.m. rolls around.

See you later.

last year, 8am.

They call him Johnny-hook-me-up.

I can't even handle this story... It's just so... Belarussian. "purchases ranging from vodka to cars and housing"???

They also buy nice Canadian wife to stay in country.

Newspaper La Presse is reporting that Andrei and Sergei Kostitsyn of the Canadiens have a relationship with Mangiola Pasquale, who was arrested on charges of drug trafficking Feb. 12.

The report suggests the police have recorded conversations between the players and Pasquale and they would sometimes meet after games at the Bell Centre. The report, citing other sources, says the relationship between the brothers and Pasquale is significant, with the 38-year-old Pasquale advising the Kostitsyns on purchases ranging from vodka to cars and housing.

Defenseman Roman Hamrlik is also said to have had contact with Pasquale, thought their relationship is reportedly not nearly as strong as that of Pasquale and the Kostitsyns.

The Canadiens lost to the Penguins 5-4 Thursday night.

Anyway, since this story broke, the media is calling the off-ice issues with the team, "party-gate". Apparently a lot of the younger players are putting more emphasis on their social life than their playing one. For weeks people have been asking me what is wrong with the Canadiens, and really I've been at a slight loss to figure it out. The popular answer has been that Carey Price has lost his confidence. But I've been at a loss to explain why exactly the rest of the team has been playing like... the Ottawa Senators.

This would explain it. Because it sounds like Junior hockey. And that's exactly how they're playing.

Speaking of Russians...

Does something seem wrong about this? I can't quite put my finger on it.
