I was literally about to write a blog post titled I Don’t Like the Vibe of This Montreal Canadiens Team Right Now when the worst possible news arrived: captain Nick Suzuki is expected to miss two to four weeks after blocking a shot off his hand in Montreal’s loss to the San Jose Sharks. Even before the injury, something felt off about this Canadiens team heading into the season. Despite being one of Montreal’s biggest fans and believing in the long-term future of this team, I

It's time for puck drop. The NHL returns this week, and with that, it's time to make predictions. In this blog post, we'll go over my predictions for each division, one through eight, the playoff teams, how many points each team will have, round by round of the postseason, a Stanley Cup champion, and even some awards. There's going to be some surprises, some picks that will be chalk, but in it all, this is how, in my opinion, this season will play out. Let's get into it, and

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.

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 being in first place in the Atlantic Division in January, around the Olympic break, looking like a playoff spot was basically a lock, and at the trade deadline the Detroit Red Wings traded an unprotected first-round pick to push for the postseason. And yet… here we are. The Red Wings have now missed the playoffs for the tenth year in a row. The NHL's newest longest active postseason drought now that their divisional rival, the Buffalo Sabres are back in the dance this y

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
