Tanking Not an Option for Habs

Tanking Not an Option for Habs

February 9th, 2016 After an abysmal two months, the Montreal Canadiens are finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. They're riding their first two-game winning streak since November, and with 28 games remaining, the Habs haven't completely played themselves out of a playoff berth yet. With that said, the odds aren't on the...
Canadiens Should Not Get Carried Away with John Scott

Canadiens Should Not Get Carried Away with John Scott

February 1st, 2016 There are not a lot of opposing players who could bring an entire crowd to their feet, but John Scott did just that at the 2016 All-Star Game in Nashville, Tennessee. His attitude was infectious, his handling of the situation was applaud-worthy, and he even showed off a little skill -- clocking a 96 mile-per-hour slapshot and...
Galchenyuk and His Ice Time

Galchenyuk and His Ice Time

December 7th, 2015 Alex Galchenyuk's transition to center has been a slow and steady process, but in his fourth season in the NHL, it appears he's finally found a home at the position. It didn't come without its share of growing pains, though. The 21-year-old American went through long stretches without a point in October and November. He was fighting...
Michel Therrien's Favorite Trio

Michel Therrien's Favorite Trio

December 2nd, 2015 Michel Therrien is back at it again. After a tightly-contested first two periods against the Columbus Blue Jackets Tuesday night, Montreal Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien decided to shuffle the lines heading into the third period. It seemed to work, as the Habs scored a late power play goal to squeeze out a 2-1 victory over the...
Mike Babcock: Red Wings' Loss Is Maple Leafs' Gain

Mike Babcock: Red Wings' Loss Is Maple Leafs' Gain

December 1st, 2015 In what was arguably the most talked about coaching sweepstakes in hockey history, Mike Babcock finally ended speculation when he signed a monstrous eight-year, $50 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs in May. It was the type of deal that raised eyebrows; one that made fans question whether a coach is ever worth that kind of...
Montreal Canadiens Interim Report Card: First Quarter Edition

Montreal Canadiens Interim Report Card: First Quarter Edition

November 24th, 2015 Everything's gone right for the Montreal Canadiens through the first 22 games of the 2015-16 season. Not only are the Habs in prime position to make the playoffs, but they're also in great shape to win the division -- they have a nine-point lead on the second-place Ottawa Senators. Mind you, it's still early, and there's a long way to...
Alex Ovechkin Becoming Complete Player Under Barry Trotz

Alex Ovechkin Becoming Complete Player Under Barry Trotz

November 20th, 2015 It didn't take long for Alex Ovechkin to establish himself as an elite goal scorer in the NHL. Known for his wicked shot and explosive speed, the 30-year-old Russian has been, and continues to be, one of the most exciting players to watch in the game today. From his wild celebrations, to his highlight-reel goals, Ovechkin can arguably...
3 Potential Trade Options to Replace Semin for Montreal Canadiens

3 Potential Trade Options to Replace Semin for Montreal Canadiens

November 17th, 2015 Having played just 6:48 in the Montreal Canadiens' 4-3 overtime win over the Vancouver Canucks Monday night, it looks like the Alexander Semin experiment may be coming to an end. Semin did not look sharp and was benched in the third period after taking an ill-advised penalty. Therrien later said he would not comment on Semin's game, but...
