Canadiens' Free Agent Targets

Canadiens' Free Agent Targets

April 26th, 2019 The Montreal Canadiens are coming off a season in which they put up 96 points and still did not qualify for the playoffs. Adding insult to injury, was seeing the Columbus Blue Jackets sweep the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round. However, one of the Canadiens' key flaws was that their goal differential, which was not at the same...
Montreal's Magical Ride

Montreal's Magical Ride

April 5th, 2019 The Montreal Canadiens season can be best resembled as the lifespan of a cat. The Canadiens entered the final week of the regular season with the worst power play in the league and somehow a chance at making the playoffs. Now following a loss to the Washington Capitals, they need a hope and a prayer to secure final wild-card spot in the...
Habs Bergevin Holds Steady

Habs Bergevin Holds Steady

March 2nd, 2019 The Montreal Canadiens' final game before the trade deadline was against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and general manager Marc Bergevin was in attendance to see how his team would perform. He watched as his team opened with an early 3-0 lead, only to see it evaporate into a crushing 6-3 defeat. It could be argued that the Canadiens were...
Canadiens Best Deadline Targets

Canadiens Best Deadline Targets

February 17th, 2019 Over the last few weeks, the Montreal Canadiens have amped up their play and now look like a legitimate playoff contender. A few weeks back, I wrote about how general manager Marc Bergevin will likely make depth trades before the deadline as he continues to hold onto to his budding young core. Since that time, Bergevin has added depth...
Canadiens' Kulak Comes Up Clutch

Canadiens' Kulak Comes Up Clutch

January 30th, 2019 As the general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, Marc Bergevin is notorious for making unpopular trades. However, what he has managed to get right are the small depth acquisitions that fall under the radar. He grabbed relatively unknown Paul Byron off waivers a few years ago and he has turned into a 20-goal scorer for the Canadiens....
Canadiens Need to Add a Piece or Two

Canadiens Need to Add a Piece or Two

January 11th, 2019 Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin seems to have made up his mind a few weeks ago. In a recent press conference, he announced that his current roster will remain intact, and that he will not move any assets to help this team this season. Before the season started though, he stated that his team was competing for...
Canadiens Power Play Needs More Power

Canadiens Power Play Needs More Power

January 4th, 2019 As the calendar rolls over from 2018 to 2019, the halfway point of the season has arrived in the NHL, and the Montreal Canadiens see themselves locking down the final wild card position in the Eastern Conference. While there are a lot of things that Montreal did right in the first half of the season, the most alarming matter is their...
Petry's Value in Weber's Absence Was Undeniable

Petry's Value in Weber's Absence Was Undeniable

December 3rd, 2018 When it was announced last season that the Montreal Canadiens would be without defenseman Shea Weber for an extended period of time, it was clear that each player would have to step up in his absence. Responsibility primarily fell to Jeff Petry, who is in his fourth full season with the organization but has never been asked...
