On Tuesday night the Montreal Canadiens hosted the Boston Bruins at the Bell Centre. After a pointless weekend, the Habs needed to turn things around in a four-point game. The result was a 3-2 overtime win. Here’s what got my attention. The top line played their best in a while. They’ve consistently produced, but notContinue reading “Cole Caufield was the hero again in a Game 67 win”

The weekend was a bust with another loss in Game 66
On Sunday night the Montreal Canadiens played the second game of a weekend back-to-back. With the Anaheim Ducks in town, the result for the Habs was a 4-3 regulation loss. Just two things are noteworthy for me. The Canadiens scored three goals on beautiful snipes. The Habs had some chances in the first period, butContinue reading “The weekend was a bust with another loss in Game 66”
The Habs were flat in Game 65
The Montreal Canadiens were back home on Saturday night with the San Jose Sharks visiting. Earlier this month the two teams faced off in California in a goaltender’s nightmare where Jakub Dobes and the Habs lost 7-5. In this one, the coach went back to Dobes and the result was a 4-2 loss. Here’s whatContinue reading “The Habs were flat in Game 65”

On Wednesday night the Montreal Canadiens were in the second game of another back-to-back. After beating the Leafs in Montreal on Tuesday they hit the road to Ottawa. The result against the Senators was a 3-2 regulation win. Here’s what I noticed. The first period might have foreshadowed the first round. If you read meContinue reading “Jacob Fowler shut the door in Game 64”

On Tuesday night the Toronto Maple Leafs were at the Bell Centre for the 63rd contest of the season for the Montreal Canadiens. The result was a 3-1 win for the Habs. At least three things are worth noting. The Kapanen line was buzzing. Yes, it’s Kapanen’s line, at least for now.

Slafkovsky was the difference in an undeserved Game 62 win for the Habs
On Saturday, the west coast road trip mercifully concluded in Los Angeles against the Kings. The Habs allowed 12 regulation goals in the first two games of the trip and collected just one point. After a slothly slow start in this one, the result was a 4-3 win. Here’s what caught my eye. The coachingContinue reading “Slafkovsky was the difference in an undeserved Game 62 win for the Habs”
In Game 61 the Habs were status quo
After a dead silent trade deadline, the Montreal Canadiens were in Anaheim on Friday night to face the Ducks. The result was a 6-5 shootout loss. Slafkovsky is still the best fit for Suzuki and Caufield. The ideal for any contending hockey team is six forwards who legitimately belong in the top six. Popular opinionContinue reading “In Game 61 the Habs were status quo”
Game 60 was the last before the deadline for the Habs, and it raised questions about priorities
In their last game before the trade deadline, the Montreal Canadiens were in San Jose on Tuesday night to face the Sharks. The result was a 7-5 loss. Here’s what got me thinking. Askarov was solid, the Habs still scored five, and the Habs still lost. These are not the days where Carey Price couldContinue reading “Game 60 was the last before the deadline for the Habs, and it raised questions about priorities”
The Habs won Game 59, but there were still some calls for help
The Montreal Canadiens closed out February with a Saturday night home game against the Washington Capitals. The Montreal crowd was treated to a rush of offense in a 6-2 win for the Canadiens.

Mr. Saturday Night, Cole Caufield, did exactly what we expectedContinue reading “The Habs won Game 59, but there were still some calls for help”
In Game 58, the Habs gave up a point and leverage in the standings
With the Olympics in the rear view, the Montreal Canadiens were finally back in action on Thursday night with the New York Islanders visiting. The result was a 4-3 overtime loss. Here’s what caught my eye. You don’t trade a player like Noah Dobson. I’m being a little catty now, but seriously. He’s a bigContinue reading “In Game 58, the Habs gave up a point and leverage in the standings”
