October 20th, 2018 It’s odd to say, but the Montreal Canadiens have dodged a bullet, with news forward Tomas Plekanec will be out several weeks.

Is Montreal's Farm Team Good Enough?

Solution Is Simple for Montreal Canadiens with Pacioretty Out
April 7th, 2015 The Montreal Canadiens will have no choice but to look within for a solution in regard to news that forward Max Pacioretty will be out for at least one game… and, no, that isn’t a euphemism for praying. In fact, the situation is not quite as dire as many might think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bGPKaryR6Q The Doctor Is...
