As the World Juniors tournament came to a close and Canada took the gold medal in a thrilling overtime win, the chatter around top prospect Connor Bedard did not quiet down. He scored a thrilling goal to send Canada to the medal game, and was named the MVP for the entire tournament. The buzz around Bedard, who is expected to go first overall in the…

This season was supposed to be one development for the Montreal Canadiens, and, for the most part, it has been, but not for everyone. The Canadiens have done a great job in bringing along their trio of rookie defencemen in Kaiden Guhle, Arber Xhekaj and Jordan Harris; whom were a big part of the Canadiens' strong start this season. Further to…

There were moments during this year's World Juniors where Team Canada, the prohibitive favourites, were pushed to the brink. The continued development of international players over the past few decades has laid the foundation for parity in men's international hockey we historically aren't accustomed to, and it can lead to stretches (or full games)…

Amid a five-game slide, the Philadelphia Flyers travel to the Bell Centre to battle the Montreal Canadiens. On the road against the Boston Bruins, the Flyers measured up to the best team in the NHL through two periods. Entering the third, behind 1-0, the scoreboard favored the Bruins. Boston capitalized on the powerplay to run away with the…

The Montreal Canadiens returned to the Bell Centre following a very difficult stretch of road games, hosting the New York Rangers in an attempt to build some much-needed confidence. Long story short, despite a decent start, the Canadiens failed to register their 16th win of the year, losing 4-1 to the Rangers in a very one-sided affaire. The good…

The Montreal Canadiens. had a very difficult December. "We're a tired group," said head coach Martin St-Louis. "Could be physically, could be mentally. This was a hard month. December was really hard for us with the travel and the schedule we played. Also, the injuries we got. And even with the time off at Christmas, we had to travel all the way…

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded Denis Malgin to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Dryden Hunt earlier this week. This is a trade that technically makes the Toronto Maple Leafs worse, as Denis Malgin is much more talented than Hunt is, but who knows, maybe Hunt will prove to be a better fit? I personally liked Malgin's skill at the bottom of the…

For the Montreal Canadiens, the light at the end of the tunnel's taken the form of the first-overall pick. However, there's a lot of track left on the road back to respectability after a last-place 2021-22. No shortcuts means heading into another tunnel for 2022-23, and that probably means tanking the season. Are all aboard? Now, it only "probably"…

Despite missing star Patrice Bergeron, the Bruins are still winning games and dominating possession. Their roster is in flux with today's trade deadline - but not as much as the Habs, who keep losing bodies and won't be able to hang with Boston tonight. After a spirited two-week stretch of winning hockey, the Montreal Canadiens are back to looking…

There may not be a more unstable line of work than that of a head coach of a team in one of the four major North American professional leagues. Since Jan. 1, 2020, a total of 22 of the 31 NHL franchises have made coaching changes at the top (not including the Seattle Kraken franchise that is in its second season). Boston's Jim Montgomery and Bruce…

The San Jose Sharks (7-13-4, seventh Pacific) kick off a road trip with a visit to the Montreal Canadiens (11-9-1, sixth Atlantic).

The Montreal Canadiens continue to surprise this season, winning eight of their first 15 matches, which is as many wins as they had through the first 45 games under former head coach Dominique Ducharme last season. Granted, this edition of the Habs isn't dealing with as many long-term injuries to key players as they did in 2021-22. That being said,…

The Montreal Canadiens and the Vancouver Canucks are on a collision course tonight for their second meeting this season. The Canucks won the first one back in November to the tune of a 2-1 score, but a lot has happened since. In fact, both teams no longer have their head coaches from that game with them. Even though the Canadiens are extremely…

The Montreal Canadiens will head down into Ohio to take on the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight. These two teams have met twice so far this season where the Blue Jackets won both games. Both of these teams will not be making playoffs this season either, so it's more of a "give a positive moment for the fans" kind of game. It's time to continue our NHL…

The Montreal Canadiens will welcome the Buffalo Sabres into Canada for a rivalry matchup between the two teams at the clear bottom of the Atlantic Division. After making a Stanley Cup final appearance last season, the Montreal Canadiens have gone the complete opposite direction as they are last in the league with 29 points. The Buffalo Sabres have…

Martin St. Louis has clearly reinvigorated the Montreal Canadiens, who all of a sudden couldn't stop themselves from collecting victories. But a tough task is ahead of the Habs, as they will play the Winnipeg Jets on the road this Tuesday night. The Jets are not necessarily in fine form, but they are a threat nonetheless to the great things the…

With Joel Edmundson returning to the lineup, the Montreal Canadiens find themselves in a challenging situation roster-wise. Fortunately for them, Evgenii Dadonov was put on injured reserve (IR) with a virus on the day Edmundson was activated for play, temporarily giving the Habs some space. However, Dadonov is due back next week, and to keep the…

The first month of the 2022-23 NHL Season is in the books, and one of the early trends is that underdogs are starting to bark again. The last two seasons have been especially hard on underdogs - favorites won 64.8% of games in 2021-22 (the best mark in the Action Network database) and 62.3% in 2020-21 (second-best) - but there are signs that things…

The Buffalo Sabres have got plenty of tongues wagging with their 4-1 start to the 2022-23 NHL season. Not only were the Sabres winning, but they were doing it against some impressive competition. Buffalo went 3-1 on a four-game road trip through Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle. For a team that has been stuck in a rebuild since 2009, it's a…

We have hit two weeks into the NHL season for the Canadian teams. Time is always undefeated and just steadily speeds along. The Calgary Flames, by far, have gotten off to the best start at 6-1. Sadly, there is still the Vancouver Canucks. At 0-5-2, the Canucks and Bruce Boudreau still cannot escape their issues. Then, there are Winnipeg, Montreal,…

The evaluation continued for Martin St. Louis and his staff on Saturday in Bouctouche, N.B., where the Montreal Canadiens played their eighth and final pre-season game and fell 3-2 in overtime to the Ottawa Senators. Just how complete it is now for the coach and his assistants, though, is questionable. That he couldn't ice a lineup that fully…

The 2021-22 NHL Season was the chalkiest we've seen in the Salary Cap Era. Not only did the consensus preseason favorite win the Stanley Cup, but the chalk also won 64.8% of games in the regular season (per Action Labs), which is the highest win rate for NHL favorites since at least 2005-06. So what better way to dip our toes in the NHL waters than…

The National Hockey League (NHL) is one of the most beloved global sports, containing some of the world's most powerful, skilled, and insanely disciplined hockey players. To find success, a franchise must thrive both on and off the ice, and work cohesively as a team. The Montreal Canadiens franchise is a prime example of this. Established in 1909,…

The Montreal Canadiens have avoided using the word'rebuild' when describing their current situation, but regardless of whether it's labelled a retool or a reorganization, the odds makers agree the team is in for a difficult 2022-23 campaign. Six different outlets have released their points projections for the upcoming season, and while the…

Technically, the National Hockey League opened the regular season this past weekend, with the Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks playing a two-game set in Prague. But meaningful puck drop - where the rest of the league, including the seven Canadian teams, get started - comes this week, and from there, a six-month sprint to the…

Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche were the hunters.

I'm picking Edmonton to win the Stanley Cup this year. And I wouldn't be surprised if the Oilers end up beating the Toronto Maple Leafs in the final. That is, if both teams' goaltending holds up. It's just one of the questions heading into the 2022-23 season. From whether the Calgary Flames are better or worse after dismantling their core, to…
