Jagr, Plekanec & Erat: Still Prolific in Czech Republic
July 1st, 2019 It’s not often Czech hockey fans are blessed with names such as Jaromir Jagr, Tomas Plekanec and Martin Erat in their own domestic league.

Price and His Fellow Habs Set for Big Milestones
October 23rd, 2018 Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price isn’t the only Hab on the cusp of reaching a big milestone. In fact, while the netminder being one win shy of tying Patrick Roy (289) for No. 2 on the team list has been highly publicized, it’s actually not the only historical high-water mark Price can hit this 2018-19 season, himself. Price...
Time for Canadiens to Play Scherbak
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. That’s because, if he hadn’t come down with a back injury, the Habs would be faced with a hard decision as to whether or not to expose Nikita Scherbak to waivers. They can now keep the 22-year-old up with...

Alzner a Healthy Scratch Made a healthy scratch to open the season, Alzner sat from the press box, witnessing an improbable overtime loss to the Stanley Cup-favorite Toronto Maple Leafs.

Likeliest Habs Captain with Pacioretty Gone
September 14th, 2018 With the Max Pacioretty saga over, the Montreal Canadiens can now move on. That means, in part, choosing the next victim, uh, honored candidate to become Habs captain.

Grading Habs GM Bergevin’s 2018 Offseason
September 1st, 2018 Even though training camp hasn’t started yet, it’s fair to "call" Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin’s offseason at this point. That means to not just argue that it’s over, now that September has officially started, but also call it for what it was: bad. It’s a shame, because it started off with such promise,...
Armia Deal with Canadiens a Win for Both Sides
July 15th, 2018 When all is said and done, winger Joel Armia could end up being the Montreal Canadiens’ big July free-agent signee.

Bergevin Somehow Sticks to a Plan
July 4th, 2018 Aside from a few select people, no one knows if the Montreal Canadiens’ day on July 1 played out how it was supposed to. That list begins with Habs general manager Marc Bergevin. Bergevin Dreams in Technicolor It’s nice to think it did, though… that Bergevin was able to properly assess his team’s strengths and weaknesses and...
