The Habs headed to Florida after last night’s game against the Hurricanes, as they’ll face the Panthers tomorrow night. There was a practice on the menu today, and first of all, Christian Dvorak was absent due to a day of treatments. The good news, however, is that Juraj Slafkovsky trained with the rest of the […]

The Habs have a surplus of defensemen in their organization. Whether it’s among the guys already in Montreal, with the youngsters in Laval or including the prospects across the planet, let’s just say that there are plenty of people at Mass, as they say. Eventually, some players will have to be traded. But which ones? […]

Since Arber Xhekaj arrived in Laval, he’s been the talk of the town. Whether it’s taking a while to get back to being the defenseman he can be, seeing the Habs players not forget him, or seeing Jayden Struble steal his chair, the Sheriff’s name has been in the news, despite himself.

And even if the victories aren’t there, let’s just say that the club is moving in the right direction. Martin St-Louis will lead his 150th game tonight against […]

Tonight, the Canadiens were at the Bell Centre, hosting good old Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. For the occasion, Samuel Montembeault was the team’s starting goaltender.

Arber Xhekaj has been traded to the Laval Rocket by the Canadiens. He’s not there for conditioning purposes or anything like that: he’s there to become more complete. It’s up to him to stand up and become one. He lost his place in Montreal with his injury. A guy like Jayden Struble took his place, […]

Today was the second day of the NHL’s annual governors’ meeting. Here, without further ado, is what caught the eye.
