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.

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.

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.
