If any of you follow the Montreal media you’ve likely heard it start up again after it died down a little bit over the holidays.
With Jaroslav Halak playing a hot streak and Carey Price who GM Bob Gainey once called a “Thoroughbred” sitting on the bench it seems to be one of the big questions.
It’s [...]
Not sure exactly what Bob Gainey or Jacques Martin may have wanted for Christmas. I’m sure getting Andrei Markov back in action is about the best gift anyone in Montreal could have asked for.
Markov is such a huge part of the team’s defensive and offensive flow. You can’t really ask for everything for Christmas…. well, [...]
Is it panic mode in Montreal? Well, almost seems as though it’s been tipping back and forth all season.
The Canadiens have now lost their last 5 games, 4 being in regulation time and the other being in overtime.
They have been plagued with many injuries. Looking at their defense, every one of their projected starting 6 [...]
2009 was quite a year for the Canadiens. Of course it was the centennial year for the Habs organization and many celebrations took place to honor the many legendary players that wore the jersey.
As the Canadiens had finished 1st in the east 2 seasons ago the centennial year started with such high expectations that many [...]
Another Canadiens prospect was traded this week in Kyle Chipchura.
In the other recent trade, local boy Guillaume Latendresse had been sent to the Minnesota Wild for former 4th overall pick Benoit Pouilot.
Latendresse has made the best of his new surroundings right away putting up 3 points in 3 games (2 goals and 1 assist). There’s [...]
I was very surprised in one way but in another I could almost see it coming.
This last week saw Guillaume Latendresse traded from the Montreal Canadiens to the Minnesota Wild for Benoit Pouliot. As you can imagine this trade touched on many “feelings” in Montreal.
Guillaume was drafted in the 2nd round in 2005 and cracked [...]
This week has been a wild one for the Montreal Canadiens or maybe it has been for many fans.
I listen to some sports talk radio and often hear many callers giving their opinions on the Canadiens. One of the themes I’ve been hearing this week has been “blow up the team and rebuild”.
While I understand [...]
What exactly were the expectations for the Montreal Canadiens this season?
This summer some analysts and fans alike thought Gainey did as good a job possible with bringing in some new offensive talent to the Habs replacing the team’s core of past years.
When it came time for the yearly spree of predictions on where each team [...]
Saturday night I was away from my twitter account and with a friend to watch the game between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning and apparently I missed some interesting chatter.
Seems as though Jaroslav Halak’s agent, Mr Walsh tweeted some stats on twitter which in and of itself is not out of the ordinary but instead [...]
The Canadiens have now played 14 games in this young season and Tomas Plekanec has 3 goals and 10 assists for 13 points. Just shy of a point per game. Maybe the title for this article is a tad premature… but maybe it’s not.
Plekanec was one of the players in Montreal that took alot of [...]
