Canadiens 12 Days of Hockeymas: 8 Habs Reach Playoffs for First Time
December 17th, 2020 Despite the first-round loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Montreal Canadiens had a fairly successful 2020 postseason. It wasn’t due just to how they pushed the heavily favored Flyers to the limit in a close six-game series, though. It was the experience gained on the part of many of their youngest players, with eight in all...
The Race to Become the Canadiens’ Next Seventh Defenseman
November 28th, 2020 The top two Montreal Canadiens pairings are for all intents set in stone, but not so much the bottom four on the depth chart. The Canadiens may very well keep just seven defensemen on the roster instead of eight though, heightening competition for the highly sought-after single depth position. Breaking the situation down: if the top...

Habs Have Some Tough Free Agent Decisions This Offseason
September 29th, 2020 With the official offseason approaching, the Montreal Canadiens still have a few decisions regarding which restricted (RFA) and unrestricted (UFA) free-agent players to re-sign.

Likeliest Canadiens Defensemen to Move with Edmundson Signed
September 18th, 2020 With Joel Edmundson now signed, Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin must logically shift his attention to at least one other defenseman. No one but presumably Bergevin knows who for sure, though. Ex-Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Joel Edmundson - (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers) It’s not someone to sign, either....
Canadiens 2020-21 Defense: Who's In & Who's Out
July 4th, 2020 The Montreal Canadiens go into the next season with a large group of young defensemen trying to make the big club. Alexander Romanov is one of those young defenders that will undoubtedly make the Habs' roster next season, which will create a log jam on the backend - especially on the left side.

Victor Mete Provides Canadiens with Options
November 9th, 2019 When Victor Mete first joined the Montreal Canadiens in his 2017-18 rookie season, there was as much intrigue as excitement in seeing him play. A fourth-round selection in 2016, he joined the professional leagues after only one more year of junior hockey at 19 years of age. Additionally, he began playing on the Canadiens’ top defence...
Canadiens' Weber And Mete Pair Among NHL's Elite
November 7th, 2019 Recently, I noticed some seemingly odd behaviour by Shea Weber. The big Montreal Canadiens defenceman was behind the opponent’s net late in a game with a point on the line against the Vegas Golden Knights. It’s strange to see him so deep in the offensive end in any game situation, let alone late in a game with a point is on the...

Examining the Habs’ Key Upcoming Contracts
October 25th, 2019 NHL teams are finally starting to gain a rhythm and routine early on in this NHL season. Some have been bad, some have been good, but as we saw with the St. Louis Blues last season (last in the NHL on Jan. 1), the first few months of the season really aren’t all that important. While clubs are generally more concerned with their...

Why the Canadiens Are Better Off Without Jake Gardiner
September 15th, 2019 Jake Gardiner reportedly turned down a three-year contract with a $5.25 million average annual value from the Montreal Canadiens, but that’s not a bad thing. Former Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Jake Gardiner speaks to reporters after a locker clean out at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, on Thursday, April 25, 2019. THE CANADIAN...
