WOW… that one syllable, one word that basically described how I have felt throughout this playoffs. Sign me up as one of many, and if you’re truly honest with yourself, the MANY fans that have been surprised and counted out our Habs during this cup run to the finals. Down 3-1 to arch rival Toronto,…
For the past six years, I have tried my best to give the current Montreal Canadiens’ management the benefit of the doubt when things didn’t go our way. From the hiring of Michel Therrien to the trade of PK Subban, I have always tried to justify, that there must be a reason behind all these…
As another summer passes us by, a dawn of another NHL season approaches. For the second straight off-season, it was another “Summer of Bergevin”, with the Canadiens GM making another series of impactful trades, signings, and non-signings that have once again reshaped the Montreal Canadiens. Last summer it was the gigantic PK Subban for Shea…
There comes a time in every GM’s tenure where they must put their bias towards veteran players aside and determine what would be best for the team presently and for the future. When you fall in love with certain players without regards for the team’s overall salary cap, similar to that of Dustin Brown’s 8…
Wow, does Marc Bergevin love making a splash in the off-season. Last year it was the Shea Weber for PK Subban trade that shut down twitter and various hockey forums online, and now he pulls off another blockbuster trade that has the hockey world still buzzing. Last week, the Canadiens acquired Jonathan Drouin, a former…
Alex Galchenyuk, the Canadiens prized 3rd overall selection at the 2012 Entry Draft, the big centre the Habs have been searching for decades, the cornerstone of the Marc Bergevin era in Montreal and the piece that Bergevin would build his team around. Oh how things have changed 5 years later. Galchenyuk is coming off an…
The NHL is expanding to 31 teams for the 2017-18 season with the inclusion of the Vegas Golden Knights. This will mark the first time since 2000, when the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild were added to the league, that the NHL will hold an expansion draft. Scheduled to play in the recently opened…
If Marc Bergevin and the current Montreal Canadiens’ brass thought they were on the hot seat after the Habs’ first round exit by the New York Rangers, things just heated up a notch last night. PK Subban and the Nashville Predators are reaching the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in franchise history, while…
The 2017 NHL Trading Deadline has come and gone and in typical norm of the past few seasons, was a major letdown with no blockbuster trades. With the salary cap in place, teams and GM’s around the league have found it harder to complete a trade that would benefit their teams and would also work under their…
Ladies and gentleman, dreams do come true! So after 5 years, the Michel Therrien era is finally over in Montreal. I’m not going to hide it, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Michel Therrien. It was nothing against him, I just found the style the Canadiens played under Therrien was far too defensive minded and…
