Francis Bouillon Not the Answer to Canadiens' Coaching Woes

Francis Bouillon Not the Answer to Canadiens' Coaching Woes

April 16th, 2016 Despite having spent most of his career with the Montreal Canadiens, retired defenseman Francis Bouillon would be a bad fit right now. Reports Quashed Thankfully, reports that Bouillon had recently talked with the team about returning were eventually quashed. According to Mathias Brunet of La Presse, Bouillon did talk to the team, but...
Canadiens D-Man Bouillon Will Be Remembered Fondly

Canadiens D-Man Bouillon Will Be Remembered Fondly

September 26th, 2015 The last Montreal Canadiens fans saw of Francis Bouillon, he was being released from his professional tryout agreement with the Habs last fall. It won’t be the last they remember him though. Bouillon ended up playing 31 games with Hockey Club Ambrì-Piotta in the Swiss National League A last season. He announced his retirement...
Are the Flyers Shopping for Defense?

Are the Flyers Shopping for Defense?

October 18th, 2014 No matter how adamantly Flyers GM Ron Hextall denies the ongoing trade rumors in Philadelphia, they simply won't go away. Is the first-year GM the victim of restless chatter? Or are the Flyers shopping for a deal that would not only bolster their blue line, but maintain Hextall's long-term vision as well? Refuted Reports Six days...

Bye Bye Bouillon: The Montreal Canadiens' Perfect Offseason

October 7th, 2014 It is rare for any team in the National Hockey League these days to go an entire offseason without making at least one or two head scratching moves (Doug Wilson signing Jon Scott comes to mind), but it is unheard of for a club to go through a summer making only good moves (or non-moves) In the past few months, Montreal Canadiens'...
Why Montreal Canadiens Should Cut Jarred Tinordi

Why Montreal Canadiens Should Cut Jarred Tinordi

October 4th, 2014 The most telling part about Jarred Tinordi’s unsuccessful 2014-15 preseason is that arguably his best play got him ejected.   Tinordi Lowers the Boom Playing against the Washington Capitals last Sunday, Tinordi caught defenseman Nate Schmidt admiring the Bell Centre ice trying to enter the offensive...
Risky Business: Francis Bouillon Tryout with Habs

Risky Business: Francis Bouillon Tryout with Habs

September 13th, 2014 Francis Bouillon and the Montreal Canadiens signing a professional tryout agreement has more to do with the defenseman’s 11 seasons as a Hab than anything he’ll end up contributing in 2014-15. One has to hope, anyway. Going undrafted, Bouillon signed with the Canadiens, going on to play parts of 11 seasons with Montreal starting...
Re-signing the Habs' Disappearing Defense Corps

Re-signing the Habs' Disappearing Defense Corps

November 4th, 2013 By Nathan Currier @nathancurrier If the Habs' General Manager Marc Bergevin does nothing next summer except lounge by the pool, the following September at the 2014-2015 Canadiens training camp there will be 3 veteran defensemen on the ice. It's hard to do practice drills with 3 defensemen. It's even harder to advance to the...
