In the last draft, the Canadiens selected Gleb Pugachyov in the first round. One might think the team would have preferred to trade its first-round pick for immediate reinforcements, but it was unable to do so. This forced the Habs to select Pugachyov, a big guy who isn’t afraid to play physically. However, so far, […]
This afternoon, the Tampa Bay Lightning faced off against the Nashville Predators. And amid everything that’s been happening since last night with Nikita Kucherov, we were watching this game closely. We were wondering how the Russian, who continues to play for his team, would perform. And in the end, Kucherov was… Kucherov. The Russian winger, […]
How will the Tampa Bay Lightning handle the Nikita Kucherov situation? That’s the big question right now. The team saw its Russian superstar request a trade last night. Kucherov (who is in the final year of his contract) clearly does not want to sign a new deal with Tampa Bay, which puts Julien BriseBois in […]
Nikita Kucherov is the name on everyone’s lips in the NHL right now. We learned last night that the Russian asked the Lightning to trade him… which took just about everyone by surprise. We knew his contract was expiring and he didn’t have a new deal in the works… but that didn’t necessarily suggest such […]
Bad news for the Canadiens. We learned this morning that Mike Matheson, a key member of the team’s defensive corps, will miss two weeks of action. This is due to the lower-body injury that kept him out of Thursday night’s game in Dallas. The team will therefore have to navigate the coming weeks without one […]
Over the past hour, the topic of the Canadiens’ lineup for tonight’s game has been the focus of attention. Seeing Nick Suzuki practice with the team (and looking pretty sharp) has raised some questions. The captain, who was expected to miss two to four weeks, seemed to have a chance to return after just nine […]
Brendan Gallagher is now a member of the Vancouver Canucks. The small forward, who spent most of his career in Montreal, was traded to the West this summer. There was no longer a spot for him with the Habs, and the team decided to send him somewhere closer to his family. Except that Gallagher is […]
The Connor Hellebuyck saga finally came to an end yesterday when the goaltender was traded to the New Jersey Devils. We knew the goaltender wanted to leave Winnipeg, and he’ll now continue his career south of the border. And the Devils, who needed a true No. 1 goaltender, have landed a player who has long […]
The NHL Heritage Classic will take place tomorrow night. The Canadiens will be in action for the event, traveling to Winnipeg to face the Jets at Princess Auto Stadium. This will be the team’s fifth road game in its history… and its first since 2017. We know the team will be wearing a new uniform […]
