Molson Cup News Today

Last night, the Canadiens lost their game (7-4) to the Tampa Bay Lightning. It wasn’t exactly an easy game for Martin St-Louis’ men, who were up against a big club on the other side. We’ll come back to what caused the loss, but the bottom line is that the Canadiens won’t be in the playoffs. […]

Right now, both Canadiens goaltenders are playing sensational hockey. And I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that, since at last update, the tandem of Samuel Montembeault and Cayden Primeau ranked third in the NHL in terms of better-than-expected saves. Individually, Monty is sixth in that category, no less. In Primeau’s case, he just […]

This morning, the Canadiens wake up in Quebec for the first time in a while. They’ve just returned from a trip out West that wasn’t easy on many levels. It won’t be easy to get back on track quickly. That’s often the case when you return from a long trip out West. Will the crowd’s […]

Last night, the Canadiens began their long holiday journey, one that has historically gone badly for Montrealers. But you know as well as I do: when you’re expecting the Habs, they don’t always show up… but when you’re not, they have a way of surprising you and winning. Yesterday, away from the Bell Centre, they […]

The sophomore put together his best NHL game to ensure Brendan Gallagher's 700th game was a winning one.

Following last Thursday’s crushing 5-1 loss to the Florida Panthers, Martin St-Louis stood in front of a pack of reporters and repeated over and over again “we played a good game”. An elocution that tickled many, including my wife, who screamed it all night, and Michel Therrien, who didn’t mince his words on the subject. […]

Jake Allen was good in October. In fact, he won the Molson Cup. That said, we wondered whether he’d hold up in November. 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 […]

Last night, the Montreal Canadiens received a visit from the Vegas Golden Knights. And let’s just say that the theme of the evening, quite rightly, was Karl Tremblay. In a 6-5 loss (the Quebec and Nevada chickens are going to cash in today), we saw that Karl Tremblay was quite a bit more the theme […]

Here's the good news for the Habs, Brian Wilde writes: It's just one game, and redemption comes as soon as Thursday night in Detroit.
