About 24 months ago, the Habs were cleaning house on the second floor. Marc Bergevin took the fall and, ultimately, Dominique Ducharme also lost his job. Jeff Gorton, Kent Hughes and Martin St-Louis arrived to rebuild the club. Good steps have been taken in that direction, but there’s obviously still work to be done. Here […]

From just before midnight tonight local time the Edmonton Oilers will not be allowed to trade, loan or place any players on waivers until Dec. 28.

Yesterday, of the 23 active players on the Canadiens’ roster, only 18 took part in training. Why?

After all, last year, he didn’t have a good November after having been good in the first month of the season. And this season, history is repeating itself. In October, Allen was […]

This morning, the Montreal Canadiens announced what we’ve been waiting for: Samuel Montembeault’s contract. The goalie will not become a free agent in 2024, as originally planned.
