This week, there were two big news items for the Habs. The first, of course, is Martin St-Louis. His absence has caused quite a stir. We don’t know when the coach will be back, and we don’t know how his guy is doing either, but we do know that life goes on with the Habs. […]
Today is a rare Saturday when the Montreal Canadiens won’t be in action, instead playing tomorrow against the Seattle Kraken starting at 9pm. It’s kind of weird not to write about a Habs practice this morning in preparation for a game tonight. But even if the Tricolore doesn’t play today, there’s still plenty to keep […]
Ahh, development… Since Martin St-Louis took over in 2022, it’s been a buzzword. And that’s a good thing, given that winning games isn’t exactly easy, let’s face it. And development isn’t just for his players, either. “I’m much more confident today than I was 1 year ago”. Confidence is vital in a player. But how […]
The naughty teams’ dilemma is playing out in Montreal: is it better to bring the good kids to the NHL to give them a taste of the NHL, or is it better to let them grow in the AHL to make a playoff run ? For the Canadiens, the question is being asked with Joshua […]
It’s done: the Canadiens have traded Jake Allen. Now that it’s all behind us(and I’ve put together a text to sum it all up), there are still a few issues to keep an eye on between now and the end of the 2023-2024 campaign. Here they are. 1. The Habs are going into the next […]
Over the past few games, the Canadiens’ top line has been struggling. Juraj Slafkovsky is taking unnecessary penalties, which doesn’t exactly make his coach happy. And with good reason. As for Cole Caufield, it’s clear that in games where he can’t find the back of the net, it’s more difficult. He’s less useful on the […]
The NHL trade deadline is fast approaching and, as is the case every year, rumors are surfacing of numerous Canadiens players being sent all over the league. This time, we’re talking about Jordan Harris. Jacob Stoller of The Hockey News revealed on Wednesday evening that Kent Hughes is reportedly offering Jordan Harris to other NHL […]
In the second game of the season, my heart broke when I saw Kirby Dach leave for the dressing room with a knee injury. The rest is history: he underwent surgery and his season was declared over. In recent days, we seem to be seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel. But […]
In Montreal, especially with Kirby Dach on the sidelines, there’s only one trio. Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovsky seem to be the only ones producing. In Washington, this trio scored three of their five goals. And this afternoon against the Stars, they scored both goals in a loss. But in addition to this […]
The Canadiens managed to win their first game without Sean Monahan yesterday in Washington. According to some, this is proof that the rebuild is working and over… and that the youngsters have stepped up their game. But I’m not one of them. Sorry, folks. The Habs beat a team that’s twice as likely to draft […]
