Many people in town are eager to see what Ivan Demidov will be able to accomplish this season. The young Russian, who will be starting his second full season with the Habs, showed flashes of great talent in 2025–26. And after a summer of training in which he became much faster on the ice, he […]
In 2026–27, Noah Dobson will begin his second season with the Canadiens. The defenseman had a solid season last year, recording 12 goals and 47 points in 80 games in a role where he didn’t get a lot of power-play time. He logged plenty of 5-on-5 minutes on the team’s top defensive pairing and played […]

Canadians, in general, tend to be pretty conservative when it comes to uniforms. The team has found a formula that works and has stuck with it for decades. And that’s hardly a bad thing—after all, you don’t change a winning formula. But in recent years, we’ve seen the club wear blue and light blue as […]
There are only a few weeks left until the official release of NHL 27. And just like every year, EA Sports is taking advantage of the game’s imminent release to reveal the ratings for the top players. Yesterday, for example, we learned that Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield were rated particularly highly. And that makes […]
The offseason is increasingly coming to a close in the NHL. That said, even though play will resume shortly, there are still some issues to be resolved across the league.
