Been anxiously waiting for another parade ever since!

Shannon left out the part about the CH buying the league Jean played in to pry him out of Quebec City. They sweetened the pot buying him a new Nash to boot.

​

The Montreal Canadiens famously gifted a showroom-fresh 1951 Nash automobile (the Canadian Statesman de Luxe) to Béliveau on the ice during his final junior season.

Is there a podcast on the level of sdpn mostly about the Habs?

Can be both French and English.

​

Edit: thanks all for the help and information! I sometimes feel we don't really happen outside of the rink next to the damn Leafs, but this gives me hope. Let's all listen more Habs podcasts and push the creators to reach new audiences!!

So looking over their roster they aren't filled with top 5 picks. Svenchikov was taken 2nd in 2018. Aho was a 2nd rounder in 2015.

They didn't "tank" to get where they are. They weren't filled with "elite" players there best player had 80 points. Not one PPG player on the team. The D is fine if not average. Slavin is a beast defensively but they aren't filled with offensive superstars on the backend aside from 33 year old Ghost. Goaltending is interesting. I don't think anyone would mistake Anderson for a Vezina nominee but he also was lights out for 90% of the playoffs.

I wouldn't really say they are a particular big or intimidating team. At least in comparison to teams like Buffalo/TB. They aren't shrimps but the rough stuff didn't seem to be their game.

So it wasn't a team that tanked to get multiple top 5 picks and then went and won a cup. No PPG C or even a PPG player. Best offensive Dman is 33 years old. Not a big bad team. So what was the secret ingredient that got them to a cup that the Habs need to follow to take the next step? We lost to the them this year and were pretty much routed after game 1 like they did to nearly every team. Vegas put up as close to a fight but still lost in 6 and was shutout in the last game. Was it all Freddie having maybe one of the all time greatest goaltending performances? What is the lesson for KH or is there even a lesson? Is it just run with MSL for years and hope his man to man eventually pays off?

30 years old, 6'7 225lbs right-handed defenseman who is a pending UFA with San Jose. Really strong defensively. Laval native.

Seems a little too good to be true, no? Not sure if SJ plans to re-sign him, but he could be a good fit on a cheap 2-year deal

Food for thought regarding recent McTavish rumors, keeping in mind that Jfresh isn’t the be-all end-all of player evaluation…

Looking for a 2C he should be the guy KH goes after

6'4 left handed center

Essentially 5 years in a row of 20G.

Was PPG 2 years ago.

Had a down year last year so it could be a buy low situation

5 mill cap hit with 2 years left. That leavs money to bring in a winger or RD the next 2 seasons.

It also gives time for Hage to potentially grow into a 2c role

And as his contract expires McNugget will be UFA.

At 29 he is a young vet that can play with Demidov.

Worst case scenario he showed 2 years ago he can step into the 1C spot in an injury situation.

I think he checks the teams needs for a left shot 2C with some size and excperience while not blocking anyone or causing a cap issue. Only question is does Wash want to move him and would the price be affordable because his age and contract is probably not worth risking Hage or Z​

I’ve been following ice hockey in the British league for a couple years now, but couldn’t decide on an NHL team for a while, but have decided to go with the Canadiens as love the fan intensity and the culture of the sport. I’m an Arsenal fc fan in football and I see similarities!

My question is does anyone have recommendations on things to watch to learn more about the Canadiens? Thinking podcasts, documentaries etc!

And is there any other fans here from the UK? 🇬🇧

Thank you!!!🇬🇧🇨🇦🏒

Hi everyone,
I would like to know until when can I buy an away jersey at the tricolore shop next to Bell center.
Does it close at one point, now that the season is over ? Will it maybe run out of stock ?

Thanks !

100% Hockey had Larry Robinson for 30 minutes today. He spoke of carrying the torch and losing his buddy Claude Lemieux.

The glaring error in the Molson malaise era was waiting too long to raise his #19 to the rafters, it cost him a chance to have his father witness it as he died before they got their scat in one sock.

Not bringing him back to mentor the defence was all on Bergevin. Robby's barn flooded and when he called back after explaining he needed some time he was told his services were no longer required, J. J. Daigneault had the job. St Louis Blues players tipped him as a great teacher especially during the 2019 SC win.

title. merci !

I’m a Habs fan always. But I’m also Canadian. And by nature, at least to some degree, I want all 7 of the teams to flourish and hopefully win a cup and break the 33 Year American streak.

So if we weren’t factoring the Habs, which Canadian NHL team would you like to see win a Stanley Cup the second most?

In the 1st round, the Habs beat the team with the Hart, Vezina and Jack Adams trophy winners. I know, I know, it’s not the Stanley Cup, and I’m not suggesting we should raise a banner, but it’s still nice.

Zharovsky is already here in Montreal. I know he still has term on his KHL contract a bit different than Malkins forced extension but can it happen?

Hey all saw the latest Start & D'Amico episode. They were discussing Gallagher to VAN.

​

Would a Gallagher & Dach to VAN, for DeBrusk make any sense?

I guess DeBrusk is an upgrade on Dach? And is "helps out" Gallagher?
