Starting out a pivotal four-game road trip against the St. Louis Blues, the Montreal Canadiens continued a troubling trend on Tuesday night. It took nearly 13 minutes for them to register a shot on goal, as they came out even flatter than in the first period of their comeback against Colorado. But there was no comeback to start this road trip, and now the team will have to find a way to put a 6-1…

Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey both had two goals as the Montreal Victoire became the first PWHL team to clinch a playoff spot in the 2024-25 season after a 4-1 win over the Minnesota Frost at Xcel Energy Centre on Wednesday night. Stacey also added two assists for a four point night. Elaine Chuli made 19 saves for her first win since the injury to Ann-Renée Desbiens.

After closing out the previous week with an emphatic win over Cleveland and then getting a helping hand throughout the week, the Laval Rocket found themselves on the cusp of an AHL playoff berth. The goal itself was very simple: win against the Toronto Marlies in any fashion and they were in. Even if they lost they could still slide in depending on other results, but against a hated rival in…

Oliver Kapanen’s Timrå side lost the sixth game of their quarterfinal series against Frölunda today, ending the series 4-2 in Frölunda’s favour. Kapanen centred the first line for Timrå and was their best player in this game, however it was all for naught, as Frölunda’s fourth line smothered them. Timrå also looked generally fatigued, and the big push that they needed at the end of the game…

Days after being stapled to the bench as SKA’s 13th forward, it appears that the tide has turned for Ivan Demidov with his KHL club. Following a long game of bench-warming in their playoff opener, he was elevated back into the team’s top six, performing well over the next two games, and helping SKA win Game 3 to avoid giving Dynamo Moscow a stranglehold on their series. SKA have announced that…

The defending Stanley Cup champions rolled into Montreal for the last time of the 2024-25 regular season on Tuesday night. The Montreal Canadiens have played the Florida Panthers extremely well this season, coming into the contest with three regulation wins over an ostensibly superior roster. It sure looked like the Panthers were going to avoid being swept in the season series, but the Habs had…

I wasn’t alive when Phil Esposito gave his speech during the 1972 Summit Series. I wasn’t in the room when Wayne Gretzky spoke to the media at the 2002 Olympics. When I was listening to Montreal Victoire head coach Kori Cheverie get on the media for being too negative, I was in the room, and my mind instantly went to those two moments. While those moments defined Canadian hockey on an…

Oliver Kapanen made his SHL debut in on the November 14 with more or less 30% of the SHL season done. Expectations were high. Jonathan Dahlén and Filip Hållander had been at it alone until then and getting their first-line centre back would make the line the best line in SHL. Those expectations were realized as Kapanen started with two assists in a 3-2 OT win. In the end the Montreal prospect…

After much back and forth in the Habs Twittersphere, the Montreal Canadiens have announced that they have signed top goaltending prospect Jacob Fowler, to an entry-level contract that begins at the start of the 2025-2026 season. While Boston College fell short of their Frozen Four dreams, Fowler put forth another incredible season for the Eagles. In 35 games, Fowler posted a 25-7-2…
