Likeliest Canadiens to Win NHL Awards in 2018-19
June 22nd, 2018 With NHL awards season over, it’s natural to turn an eye to 2018-19 and predict who the favorites will be. While the Montreal Canadiens were justifiably shut out from any major awards for this past season, there’s a decent chance the 71-point Habs will be back in the playoffs in one year’s time, presumably on the strength of some...
