It’s still early in the 2020-21 season and anything can happen, but the Montreal Canadiens must be satisfied with their performance so far. That’s putting it mildly. They took the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have been heavily favored to win the North Division by analysts, to the limit in the season-opening game, dropping a 5-4 […]

Both 500 and 13 were magic numbers on this date in National Hockey League history. Three was a pretty big number too as a slew of Hockey Hall of Famers scored hat tricks on Jan. 17. These are just a few of the memories this date has given us. Let’s take our daily trip through […]

It’s only been one game, but I’m ready to reconsider my stance on Josh Anderson’s contract. Okay, maybe not entirely, but his performance against the Toronto Maple Leafs on opening night certainly raised some eyebrows.

The team assembled looks far better than any assembled in recent history and there is hope for a long and exciting season. Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin has constructed […]

As far as Montreal Canadiens debuts go, defenseman Joel Edmundson’s didn’t receive quite the level of attention as those of either rookie Alexander Romanov or forward Josh Anderson. Edmundson probably prefers it that way, as it was a fairly inauspicious first game as a Hab against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Edmundson’s No-Good, Horrible Game Edmundson […]

The Montreal Canadiens’ rookie defenseman Alexander Romanov isn’t a typical rookie. The 21-year-old left-shot defenseman was drafted 38th overall during the 2018 NHL Entry Draft; however, if that draft were to happen again, he’d probably be a top-10 draft pick. After his time in the KHL, Romanov became one of the top prospects not playing […]

In today’s NHL rumors rundown, it sounds like Pierre-Luc Dubois would choose the Montreal Canadiens if he could pick his landing spot in any trade. Meanwhile, the Chicago Blackhawks have placed both Kirby Dach and Jonathan Toews on LTIR. Teams are calling the Florida Panthers about Aleksander Barkov. Why? There’s also more news out of […]
