Patrick Roy: Mathieu Darche Explains Why He Fired Him Last April

About six months ago, the New York Islanders took everyone by surprise when they fired Patrick Roy. This all happened with just four games left in the Isles’ season, when they were still in playoff contention. We know how it turned out: Peter DeBoer’s arrival didn’t have the desired effect, and the team ultimately missed […]

Michael Hage scores four points in his team’s victory

Tonight, the Canadiens beat the Red Wings 1-0 in a… strange game. The team had three goals disallowed and saw its fans cheering for an opposing player, but it still managed to come away with the two points. After three straight losses, this victory is a real morale booster. That said, we were also keeping […]

The CH has the worst power play in the NHL (according to advanced statistics)

The Canadiens’ power play hasn’t exactly been effective since the start of the season. Despite all the talent on the team, they’ve scored just once (thanks to Zachary Bolduc, on the second wave) in 13 power-play opportunities. The sample size is very small, of course. But it’s still a fact. As a result, the Habs […]

Ivan Demidov is wearing a protective boot on his right foot

Ivan Demidov is currently on the Canadiens’ injured list. Obviously, that’s not ideal—we can all agree on that. We learned a few days ago that the Russian is expected to be out for two to four weeks. That means Demidov, in the best-case scenario, will be back in about ten days. That said, there may […]

Jayden Struble: Here’s what the Habs players think of the trade

Last night, Jayden Struble was traded to the Nashville Predators. The defenseman, who has been with Montreal since the 2023-24 season, will continue his career in Tennessee. That said, in the (very) short term, it’s all happening in Ottawa. The Preds are there right now, which allowed Struble to join the team and practice with […]

Disaster for the Rangers: Igor Shesterkin’s season is (already) over

A disaster for the New York Rangers. Last night, we saw Igor Shesterkin leave the game due to an injury. He was unable to put any weight on his right leg, and people in the Big Apple were truly fearing the worst. The footage was pretty worrying. Igor Shesterkin went down with a leg injury […]

Jacob Fowler is leaving tonight: the CH sends a message to Jakub Dobes

Tonight, the Canadiens will host the Detroit Red Wings (and Dylan Larkin) at the Bell Centre. It will be the first Saturday night game in Montreal this season. And we know that these matchups, as Martin St-Louis often likes to point out, are special. After seeing Jakub Dobes get the night off on Thursday, we […]

Brendan Gallagher Struggles in Vancouver (and Gets Cheered On by the Fans)

Last June, Brendan Gallagher was traded to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for future considerations. The Habs did the veteran a favor by sending him closer to home (while retaining 50% of his salary to facilitate the trade). And the Canucks, who are in the midst of a rebuild, acquired a player known for his […]

Alexandre Carrier Comments on Samuel Montembeault’s Injury

This morning, Samuel Montembeault left practice in pain. The goaltender, who was set to start tomorrow (after making a remarkable comeback), appeared to be experiencing discomfort in his right leg. Our colleague Patrick Guillet, who captured footage on site, reported that Monty landed awkwardly during a drill and had trouble getting back up. As a […]

Samuel Montembeault Leaves Practice Due to Injury

Bad news at the CH’s practice this morning. Samuel Montembeault, who was on the ice, left practice early. He apparently injured himself while making a save and quickly headed back to the locker room. According to footage from our colleague Patrick Guillet, it appears the goaltender’s right leg was affected. Did Samuel Montembeault suffer a […]
