Montreal Canadiens

By monikawk The Montreal Canadiens beat the Coyotes 5-2. I’m happy Robert lang got one and Paul “Bissy” Bissonette got one too! The refs had to review it to make sure it wasn’t kicked in. The Montreal Canadiens beat the Coyotes 5-2. I’m happy Robert lang got one and Paul “Bis

By Sebastien Tremblay Montreal certainly picks up many North Americans skaters but doesn’t draft that many Europeans and to be honest, besides Andrei Markov, Montreal hasn't had much chance with their Euro "future stars". There is indeed a « hole » on the Canadiens European depth chart.

By Sebastien Tremblay What if the Montreal Canadiens allowed the team to crumble like Pittsburgh or Chicago in the late 90’s and early 2000 and rebuild like many other teams are doing, what kind of team would we have now? Now where I’m going with this? Well, as an avid Montreal Canadiens fan, I want the club to be go...

By Elie Aintabi Nothing was funny about last night's game, which saw the Canadiens down walking into the third period.  This win caps off the five straight games the Habs have played, settling the preseason record at 3-2.  Three Stars 1. Brian Gionta 2.

By Felix Sicard Lapierre has everything going for him. He is French Canadian, is good with the media, and is one of the hardest working players on the team. Many captains have led by example, and if Lapierre's teammates were to follow his example, they would be one of the toughest teams to play against in the...

By Topham(liwblog@gmail.com) A little while ago, I started putting together an article about one of a number of doomsday articles I was seeing at the time about the Montreal Canadiens in 2009-10.

By Topham(liwblog@gmail.com) That said, Mr. Murphy is using cheap tricks here. Calling the Canadiens a laughing stock in Boston is not new and it's certainly not news. The Canadiens are a laughing stock in those parts 3 days after an unprecedented comeback in the playoffs against the tilt of the home ice.

By Topham(noreply@blogger.com) The Canadiens have had a captain for nearly 100 seasons The tradition of the Montreal Canadiens dressing a captain, however, is not one of them. Since 1909, the Canadiens have had a team captain and that is the way I think it should continue for the next century. French Canadian options

By Dominic Pampalon The Canadiens started the 2008-2009 campaign with Guy Carbonneau behind the bench. Last season, Carbonneau led his team to first place in the Eastern Conference. The team had ended the regular season atop the entire league on the power play and goals scored, and finished with an impressiv...

By Sebastien Tremblay Not great stats for someone who stole the starting goaltender job from Cristobal Huet last year. Price has looked unstable, lost, confused and even sometimes drunk in from of the net! I hope it's just sophomore jinx and that he'll be that goaltender Montreal fans are waiting for since Patr...

By All Habs Toronto 5, Montreal 2 (Bell Centre) A video review proved inconclusive. The goal was waived off. The Habs had dodged a bullet. But it was like some of the air had been sucked out of the Bell Centre. The fans were more nervous. The goaltender was jittery.

By Dominic Pampalon Montreal needs to wake up really soon—because if the slide continues, it will become difficult to catch up. Montreal is playing three games in four days. Detroit tomorrow, Washington on Friday, and Buffalo on Saturday. Nothing too encouraging for the Bleu Blanc Rouge.

By Dominic Pampalon Montreal was lucky to have a player like Streit, who could be used both defensively and offensively.  Last year, the team finished the 2007-08 campaign atop the Eastern Conference. They had the best scoring team, as well as the best powerplay record in the NHL.
