The Montreal Canadiens Are Hoping To Win Big At The 2013 NHL Awards The Montreal Canadiens jump from 15th place in the Eastern Conference and 28th overall in 2011-12 to winning the Northeast Division, securing the second seed in their Conference and finishing fourth overall was something that nobody in the hockey world saw coming. ...
The Montreal Canadiens have come a long way since finishing last in the East in 2012 and ultimately picking 3rd overall in last year’s draft. Coming into this season — lockout or no lockout — the general consensus across the sporting world was that the Habs were going to be a lottery-pick team once again ...
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 ...
Despite a very important 2-1 win against their division rivals on Saturday at Bell Centre, the Canadiens lost a key element of their defensive brigade when bruising defensemen Alexei Emelin left the game midway through the first period. He sustained a left knee injury in a thunderous collision while taking a run at big Boston Bruins forward ...
I don’t know Montreal Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin personally. So I don’t really know what makes him tick. But I suspect that he likes movies (most of us do) and I’m going to go out on a limb here that one of his all-time favourites must be “Back to the Future.” You remember? Michael J. Fox’s ...
The Montreal Canadiens didn’t make the Jarome Iginla shortlist, they didn’t land future Hall-of-Famer Jaromir Jagr either. There was talk that perhaps the team was interested in Ryan Clowe, but that didn’t pan out. In fact, the Canadiens didn’t make a single trade on deadline day, their only move leading up to the deadline was ...
The faces, the jerseys, the sites and the sounds may change season after season, yet it is true that all Stanley Cup winning teams share some common traits from year to year. How about clutch, opportunistic scoring and strong goaltending? Yep. Don’t forget about that long and wiry playoff beard. No wonder Dustin Penner was so good in last year’s playoffs. The man’s beard is solid.
But all kidding aside, perhaps one of the most important of these shared traits, or better… tendencies… is the one we often lose track of: every Stanley Cup champion is never the same team it was at the beginning of the season.
With now less than two weeks before the April 3rd, 2013 NHL trade deadline, the Montreal Canadiens are in good position to begin the playoffs at home a very good season shortened by the lockout. Sitting currently 2nd in the Eastern Conference right behind the red-hot Pittsburgh Penguins, the Canadiens will certainly be buyers this ...
It’s no secret that the Montreal Canadiens have exceeded expectations thus far in 2013. Now at the mid point of the season, the Habs still sit in first place in the Eastern Conference after finishing 15th in the conference last season. There are several factors to consider when evaluating why they’re so much better this ...
According to TSN/ESPN insider Pierre Lebrun, the Montreal Canadiens are looking to add size and grit to an already potent line-up before the NHL trade deadline, which is four weeks away. Currently sitting atop the Eastern Conference rankings with 32 points in 23 games, the Canadiens will most likely be buyers at the trade deadline ...
