The Defence Rests
The Defence Rests
There is a lot of concern among Habs fans that the Canadiens aren’t going to be able to replace the “offence” that Markov and Beaulieu brought the Canadiens last season, but I see things shaking out differently, and I think the defence will at least match last season’s point total. In 485 games last season […]
Habs Welcome Eric Gelinas
Habs Welcome Eric Gelinas
The Montreal Canadiens have invited defenceman Eric Gelinas to camp this September. Gelinas was unable to find a contract during the summer free agent period after splitting time last season between the woeful Colorado Avalanche and the equally woeful San Antonio Rampage of the AHL.

In a Twitter poll conducted two weeks ago, Habs fans were asked who should start the season as the club’s number-one center and more than 80 per cent chose Alex Galchenyuk.

Habs Vs. Leafs – Who Has the Better Wingers?
Leaf fans this past week on Twitter informed me on several occasions that Toronto’s wingers are better than Montreal’s going into the 2017-18 season….so I decided to break it down to see if the truth may lie elsewhere. Here is Part 1 of a comprehensive comparison of the projected wingers on each team head-to-head. Lower-line […]
Habs Forward Group Underappreciated
Habs Forward Group Underappreciated
We had a subscriber leave a message on Recrutes board where he said this – “The holes in the roster aren’t shallow. we have a team who is going to try desperately to climb out of those holes.” I really think that overstating the offensive “desperation” with a team coming off of a 103-point season.

Marky Embarks on a New Venture
Marky Embarks on a New Venture
I got some interesting views on the departure of Andrei Markov after 17 seasons with the Montreal Canadiens from an NHL executive this morning who doesn’t necessarily buy that his leaving is all on Bergevin’s shoulders. “Does anyone put any of the onus on Marky?” he asked. “His ex-wife died and left him with two […]
