Why Does Michel Therrien Hate Skill?

Why Does Michel Therrien Hate Skill?

November 10th, 2015 When your team starts 13-2-1, it might be a bit crazy to criticize the head coach, but here we are. It's not that there is really anything bad to say about the style of play that the Canadiens are playing, but it has just come to my attention that there seems to be a certain trend in Montreal over the past 3 seasons. The Canadiens...
Five Thoughts on the Habs Hot Start

Five Thoughts on the Habs Hot Start

October 20th, 2015 I've said it before and I'll say it again, you would be surprised how much of a role the system a team plays correlates with the results that they get. Of course, the system in place has to accommodate the personnel that a coach is given, but it's directly the coaches job to get the most out of his players. You look at the personnel of a...
Why Alex Semin Could be the Missing Piece

Why Alex Semin Could be the Missing Piece

October 13th, 2015 For years and as long as I can remember, the Montreal Canadiens have been lacking strongly in one thing. Goal scoring. Heading into the 2015 season, one reason for optimism in regards to this is the signing of highly skilled forward Alex Semin.  Some fans might ask, how can a player coming off of a 6 goal, 13 assist season create hype...
What can we Expect from Alex Semin?

What can we Expect from Alex Semin?

September 28th, 2015 This is arguably the biggest question mark heading into the 2014-2015 season for the Montreal Canadiens: what will Alex Semin add to this Canadiens team? Semin had wrist surgery last season and some wonder if that is one of the reasons for his decline in points. Well, we can look at a few factors for his points decline, and consider...
The Lars Eller Winger Experiment

The Lars Eller Winger Experiment

September 21st, 2015 For now at least, Lars Eller's time at center has come to a halt. The 13th overall pick was drafted as a center by St Louis in 2007 and continued to play the position when he was sent to Montreal in the Jaroslav Halak deal.  Eller has now been moved to the wing as a result of the (too) many Canadiens players capable of playing center,...
Montreal Canadiens 2015-2016 Season Preview

Montreal Canadiens 2015-2016 Season Preview

September 16th, 2015 There comes a point in time when a team is no longer considered to be in the transition phase of being a playoff team to becoming an annual contender. The Montreal Canadiens have shown over the past three seasons that they have the capability to continuously be a playoff team, but they're now reaching the point where they need to make...
What if the Canadiens Had Acquired Vincent Lecavalier in 2009 ?

What if the Canadiens Had Acquired Vincent Lecavalier in 2009 ?

September 5th, 2015 This entire article is going to be based off of hypotheticals and projections, but sometimes those are the most fun things to read and write. What if? These are the questions we spend our late sleepless nights thinking about. What if this happened? What if this didn't happen? How would things change and what would be different. Well in...
Three Players with Something to Prove in Montreal

Three Players with Something to Prove in Montreal

August 18th, 2015 Every year before the season starts and you look at a teams roster, you can point out some names that need to make their mark and find their potential within an organization. Three players that are in this situation include newly acquired winger Zack Kassian, center Lars Eller and defenseman Nathan Beaulieu. We will take a look at the...
