Dick Irvin Sr, who played for the Hawks in the late-’20s before his coaching career, which included Montreal, began. Dick would be 124 if he was still around (125 in July). The Canadiens couldn’t quite get it done, falling 4-2 to the visiting Chicago Blackhawks, and if you like your glass half-full you could say Montreal sits at 8-3 in their last 11 games. But if you’re a half-empty type of person, you might say they’ve lost two of their last three. And the kind of person I am? Mostly a half-full kind of guy except when I’m not.
