With the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators set to meet in the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time ever, what should fans expect from the series? Although the Habs come in as the number 2 seed they aren’t the hotter team coming into the series. They had a rough April, losing 6 out ...
Montreal Canadiens (2) vs. Ottawa Senators (7) Some hockey fans in Canada will certainly be disappointed that the Montreal Canadiens won’t meet the Toronto Maple Leaf in the first round of the playoffs, but that’s not going to happen, in the first round at least, as the Habs will face the Ottawa Senators. The close division rivals will face ...
A lot of Habs Nation has been on edge of late. And rightly so. Coming in to tonight’s season ending tilt against the upstart Toronto Maple Leafs, the Canadiens are 4-6-0 in their last ten games. Now this isn’t completely atrocious, but it’s certainly not worthy of a playoff-bound team and definitely not up to par for a team that still has a chance to finish second in the Eastern Conference.
The Montreal Canadiens are going to the playoffs and the New Jersey Devils are not, but when the two teams met on April 23, it was the Devils who prevailed 3-2 in a ‘playoff-style’ game. The Habs who have been at or near the top of the East standings all season are still in a ...
Another game, another loss for the Canadiens last night against the New Jersey Devils.

It seems like a long time ago. Actually it was a long time ago. Back in the the second half of the 1970’s where kids bounced around in station wagons seatbelt-less sucking in second hand smoke from both of their parents. Yes, whenever spring had finally sprung in Montreal it was inevitably time for the Canadiens to celebrate their latest Stanley Cup victory with a parade down the usual route, which ran from City Hall in Old Montreal all the way along Ste. Catherine Street and past the old Montreal Forum.
Ahh, good times. Good memories. Old memories.
After a month-long slump, the Montreal Canadiens’ most highly-touted rookie is finally showing signs of life for the struggling Habs. The 18-year-old American, who was drafted 3rd overall at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, scored his 7th goal of the season on Monday against the Philadelphia Flyers. In his last 7 games, the versatile forward ...
The playoffs are right around the corner, and although the Canadiens have had a stellar season thus far, there is still some room for improvement. The Habs have relied on a balanced offense to find success this year, so while they are fifth in the league in goals per game but they don’t have a ...
It’s a historic rivalry.
Le bleu-blanc-rouge vs. the Buds; the Habs vs. the Leafs; French vs. English; Quebec vs. Ontario.
However you put it, the rivalry between the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs is one that’s purely Canadian.
With only eight games left in the regular season, the Montreal Canadiens are back at the top of the Northeast Division following a convincing 5-1 win over the lowly Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. As it stands right now, the team sits in the second playoff position in the Eastern Conference and would face the surprising New York ...
