Canadiens Make Statement in Win over Edmonton Oilers
January 17th, 2021 It’s still early in the 2020-21 season and anything can happen, but the Montreal Canadiens must be satisfied with their performance so far. That’s putting it mildly. They took the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have been heavily favored to win the North Division by analysts, to the limit in the season-opening game, dropping a 5-4...

Montreal Canadiens’ Wish List for the 2020-21 Season
January 8th, 2021 I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions so I decided to ask the Genie to grant wishes for the Montreal Canadiens during the season and since it’s been a tough year, I’m greedily requesting five wishes instead of three.

Canadiens Milestones Within Reach in 2020-21 Season
January 7th, 2021 NHL fans rejoiced when the 2020-21 NHL season became official. That’s not the only thing worth celebrating, though.

Some of those players...

Panthers Prospect Spencer Knight Is the NHL's Next Star Goalie
December 8th, 2020 The NHL is full of incredible goalies, but only a select few make a major impact on the next generation of netminders. Names like Roberto Luongo, Martin Brodeur, Henrik Lundqvist, and Carey Price all come to my mind when I look at my hockey idols as a kid. Although some of these goalies are retired, their legacy and impact on the game...
Canadiens Cannot Afford a Locked-out 2020-21 Season
December 5th, 2020 It’s fairly obvious nothing about the current pandemic is normal from the perspective of either the owner or players. In retrospect, the fact that the NHL and NHLPA were able to so easily agree on extending the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) back in July was a hint to that effect. That never happens. Owners vs....
Canadiens Should Retire These 3 Numbers
November 30th, 2020 Having your number retired is among the greatest honours an NHL player can receive.

Worst 3 Canadiens Contracts Heading into 2021
November 11th, 2020 There is little denying the Montreal Canadiens have several bad contracts on their roster. However, there is a case to be made that the Habs are far from “saddled” with any of them, with defenseman Karl Alzner having recently been bought out. He clearly would have ranked on this list of the three worst contracts currently on the...
Canucks Face Uphill Battle With All-Canadian Division
November 8th, 2020 When the NHL finally starts the 2020-21 season the Vancouver Canucks will likely be playing in an all-Canadian division rather than the Pacific Division we all know and love (or hate depending on who you ask).
