Would the Montreal Canadiens’ Number One Line Please Stand Up

After finishing dead last in the Eastern Conference two seasons ago, the Canadiens bounced back in spectacular fashion claiming top spot last year in the now defunct Northeast Division. Along with a Norris-winning performance from PK Subban, the Habs owed much of their success to a balanced offense and three lines that could be...

Habs Send a Draft Day Message to Fans: Size Matters

July 2nd, 2013   When the Canucks selected Hunter Shinkaruk with the 24th overall pick, Habs GM Marc Bergevin and top scout Trevor Timmins gave each other a celebratory fist bump, they were getting their man. Timmins was given the honor of announcing the Canadiens first round pick, Mke McCarron, a 6’5” winger that spent last year with...

PK Subban's Norris Trophy Win

June 17th, 2013 To all who believed in me & helped me get to this point in my career #merci! Je suis excite pour l'annee prochaine! pic.twitter.com/9AzrdRNSHp — P.K. Subban (@PKSubban1) June 16, 2013 Saturday night, PK Subban did something no Montreal Canadiens rearguard has done since Chris Chelios in 1989, he won the James Norris Trophy as...
Battle-weary Canadiens Stumble out of the Playoffs

Battle-weary Canadiens Stumble out of the Playoffs

May 10th, 2013 The Habs were in dire straits late in Game 5 Thursday night, going into the third period trailing 3-1 in both the game and the series. Forget the fact that they entered the playoffs as the number 2 seed in the East, that they won of the Northeast Division, that they entered the playoffs with aspirations of going deep, late in the...
Lars Eller Injury Will Weigh Heavy on Canadiens

Lars Eller Injury Will Weigh Heavy on Canadiens

May 3rd, 2013 A raucous capacity crowd at the Bell Centre was stunned to silence late in the second period as a pool of blood collected on the ice, gushing from the nose of Lars Eller. As Eller received a breakout pass from Raphael Diaz, Ottawa’s Eric Gryba stepped up and flattened the Habs center with a blindside hit. Gryba was given a five...
Canadiens vs. Senators: Will Price-Anderson Matchup Define the Series?

Canadiens vs. Senators: Will Price-Anderson Matchup Define the Series?

April 30th, 2013 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 of 8 games at one point, but did bounce...
Montreal Canadiens Need More from Captain Brian Gionta

Montreal Canadiens Need More from Captain Brian Gionta

April 15th, 2013 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 player in the top-30 in scoring. As...
Were the Montreal Canadiens Trade Deadline Losers?

Were the Montreal Canadiens Trade Deadline Losers?

April 4th, 2013 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...
