Are The Habs Hungry?
Aside from the whole BioSteel thing Cammy (or his agent) is pushing, I admire Cammy’s dedication to fitness and eating well. Last year, Elliotte Friedman did one of his little vignettes on Cammy when he was coming off rehab for that knee injury that kept him out 17 games and it focussed on Cammy’s training and diet. In the interview Cammy said, “The rules for me are pretty simple: If it doesn’t grow or you can’t kill it, you don’t eat it. So nothing in a box. A lot of green vegetables, a lot of fruits, and a lot of meats and fishes. It’s really that simple.” Suffice to say there’s lots of love and respect for Cammy on The Torch.
Sidenote #1, for all you Cammy doubters out there, he went through a similar slump last year after an injury and if there’s one guy on the team you don’t need to worry about it’s number 13. And sidenote #2, Elliott Friedman is way more gregarious in person than he comes across on HNIC.
All this food talk got me thinking about who’s hungry on the Habs and that debate can go on all day, so my mind quickly shifted to thinking about my favorite restaurant in Montreal called Au Pied de Cochon. If you love meat like I do, you must go. Screw the line at Schwartz’s, I mean Schwartz’s is fine and all, but you need to experience the mind of Martin Picard to really appreciate Quebecois food culture and duck meat. Check out this clip of two of my favs, Anthony Bourdain and Martin Picard on No Reservations.
Amazing huh? So how’s this for my armchair coaching strategy? During practice tomorrow Martin says to his players, “Ok men, the first line that scores for us (please dear Lord let it be tomorrow vs. Atlanta) gets a dinner at Au Pied de Cochon.” OK maybe it won’t work for the millionaires on the team, but I bet Whitey or Darche will wanna bag one.
