Man, what a weird week this has been for me as a sports fan. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a massive Montreal Canadiens and Seattle Seahawks fan. And if you don't know me personally but have read enough of my writing (for some reason), you've probably figured that out by now anyway. The reason this week felt so strange is because when you grow up as a sports fan, you become emotionally attached to certain players. You look up to them. They become part of your daily life. In a

A report surfaced this weekend from media reporter Marc-Olivier Beaudoin on Twitter claiming that while attending the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Montreal, Connor McDavid was spotted checking out neighbourhoods around the city. Beaudoin also reports that if McDavid were ever to leave the Edmonton Oilers over the next few years, the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers would be among the teams at the top of his list. Let's start off with one thing. The whole "checking out neigh

And that's all she wrote for the Montreal Canadiens' 2025-26 season. The Canadiens' remarkable playoff has come to an end after a 6-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final. While Montreal managed to take Game 1 by a score of 6-2, the reality is that Carolina controlled this series from Game 2 on. Even though Games 2 and 3 required overtime, the Hurricanes were the better team in both contests. The final two games weren't particularly compet

Tonight, the Montreal Canadiens fell 4-0 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final and now trail the series 3-1 against the Carolina Hurricanes. And honestly? After Game 1, where the Habs won 6-2 on the road in Carolina, us Montreal fans probably got a little carried away. Because pretty much ever since that first period of the series, it’s been downhill. Sure, they managed to force Games 2 and 3 to overtime, but tonight was rough. No way around it. But I’ve been seeing Cana

There is no way to put this lightly, the Montreal Canadiens, over the last two games in the Eastern Conference Finals, despite getting both Games 2 and 3 to overtime, have been absolutely awful offensively. After dominating Game 1 with a 6-2 win, the Canadiens have looked like a completely different team. Because of how bad they’ve played against the Carolina Hurricanes only registering 12 and 13 shots in Games 2 and 3, there have been a lot of narratives surrounding this Can

Ladies and gentlemen, the Montreal Canadiens have done it again. After escaping the first round against the Tampa Bay Lightning in a grueling seven-game series, the Canadiens worked their magic once again in their second Game 7 of these Stanley Cup Playoffs, beating the Buffalo Sabres four games to three in what was an epic series between two of, in my opinion, the two best up-and-coming teams in the Atlantic Division. I expect this to become a regular playoff matchup between

After an absolutely epic seven game series, which was one of the closest both statistically and just from watching, best displays of hockey I have seen in years, the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning delivered an all time matchup. And in the end, the Canadiens prevailed, winning the series 7 games. And they did it behind probably the worst offensive game I have seen them play all season. They registered nine shots on net and somehow still won the game. That is all th

Listen, at the start of this Habs season back in October, if you had told me that the Canadiens would be in a Game 7 against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the playoffs, I would have jumped at that opportunity. Obviously, there were some ups and downs along the way, and expectations have been raised for this group after a successful season. Which brings me to last night.... Being up 3-2 in the series with a chance to close out the Lightning at home, getting a p

I’ve grown up loving and playing the game of hockey since I was five years old. At one point, I probably thought I could be an NHL player, but it turns out the NHL wasn't looking for perennially mediocre rep hockey players, and it became obvious it was not going to happen. But along the way, I’ve had favourite players whose games I've really connected with. When I first started watching hockey consistently in the late 2000s or early 2010s, my first favourite player was Michae

On Tuesday, March 17th (my birthday by the way), the Montreal Canadiens picked up a massive win against the Boston Bruins in one of their most important games, if not the most important game of their season to date. This win kept them in third place in the Atlantic Division, two points up on the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins for that final divisional playoff spot, and within striking distance of the Tampa Bay Lightning for second. With 15 games to go, according to Money

Entering this past week the Montreal Canadiens, according to multiple hockey stats websites, had anywhere from about a 92-94% chance to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season. Now, after back to back losses at home against two California teams they had just lost to the week prior in the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, their playoff odds are still currently strong at about 80%, but they have set themselves up for a huge upcoming week with multiple Eastern Conf

The NHL trade deadline is on Friday, and over the next week or so we’re going to hear a ton of rumours about certain players potentially landing in certain places. Before all the trades are finalized for the remainder of this season, I wanted to put together a list of dream trade scenarios I would love to see. Now, keep this in mind, these are not all realistic, and most of them (if not all of them) probably aren’t going to happen. These are simply players we’ve heard could b

After about a three-week hiatus for the Olympic break, the Montreal Canadiens return to action tonight with a home game against the New York Islanders. Coming out of the break, the Canadiens sit second in the Atlantic Division with 72 points on the year, and while, as of right now, they are comfortably in a playoff spot, this is not a time to be complacent or even ease back into things with just 25 games to go in the regular season. The Canadiens need to be ready to pounce if

With the Olympic break coming to an end this Wednesday, NHL hockey will return for the stretch run of the season, with each team having roughly 26 to 28 games remaining on their schedule. With that in mind, I wanted to make a few predictions for not the remainder of the regular season, but also for how the playoff race could shake out over the next few months. Below seven predictions for the rest of the NHL’s 2025–26 season. Sidney Crosby's Injury Sinks Penguins Out of the Pl

We’re in the last few days of 2025, which is kind of crazy to even say out loud. It feels like this year absolutely flew by. And when it comes to the Montreal Canadiens, it was actually a really good year overall. For the first time since 2021, the Canadiens got back to the playoffs. They didn’t go far, but getting back there mattered. It felt like a real step forward for the organization after a few tough seasons. More than anything, 2025 was about seeing the young core star

Before I even go further, I just want to say as clearly as I can: Brendan Gallagher is one of my all-time favourite Montreal Canadiens. I’ve watched him throughout his entire career, not just with the Habs, but even going back to junior. He played here in Vancouver for the Vancouver Giants, he was their captain, and when I found out as a little kid that he was part of the Montreal Canadiens organization, he instantly became one of my favourite players to follow, probably more

These are tough times in Vancouver. The Canucks currently sit in the basement of the NHL standings, and all signs point to an all-out collapse as their season seemingly slips away by the game, which has led to their captain appearing to be leaving sooner rather than later. Even though many fans find it hard to accept, the franchise seems prepared to turn its attention to the future and making this team younger. As the trade market starts to heat up and Vancouver willing to mo

The past month has been tough, I'd even say borderline traumatic for Montreal Canadiens fans. After a promising start to the season that hinted at something special building in Montreal, the injury bug hit the roster hard. Multiple players from the team’s middle six went down, and the result has been a string of losses that’s drained much of the early optimism. It’s an undeniably frustrating time. But even in the middle of this skid, there’s one massive positive emerging. Jur

This past week might go down as one of the worst sports weeks of my life—or at least the worst in a long time. Everything seemed to hit at once. My favourite hockey team, the Montreal Canadiens, went from rolling to collapsing under a wave of injuries, and my favourite NFL team, the Seattle Seahawks, reminded me how tough it will be for me to fully trust them as they try to chase a Super Bowl title this year. Let’s break down how all of this somehow happened in seven days and

The Montreal Canadiens couldn’t have asked for a worse week. After being blown out 6–1 by the Los Angeles Kings, the Habs followed it up by getting routed 7–0 by the Dallas Stars. Both games being on home ice and both were a complete dismantling that exposed every current flaw in their game. Despite starting the season strong, the Canadiens are now trending in the wrong direction, and these back-to-back lopsided losses have forced a hard look at where things stand. But there
