Pittsburgh PenguinsThe 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.

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.
Another game, another loss for the Canadiens last night against the New Jersey Devils. This time, the Habs managed to stay in the game after trailing 3-0 early on to finally capitulate 3-2, losing their fifth game in six contests. Montreal surrendered two more goals in four attempts on the penalty kill, ultimately sinking the ...
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.
