RSS Canadiens Team Notes

It was a special night at Place Bell on Friday night as the Laval Rocket welcomed the Manitoba Moose for an all-Canadian matchup. The Rocket, as they do every year, paid tribute to the past decades of Quebec hockey, and celebrated their namesake with special jersey to commemorate Maurice Richard. The team received a huge boost heading into the game, with Joshua Roy returning early from injury…

To finish up a three-game road trip, the Montreal Canadiens were in Ottawa for hockey day in Canada. Their last game against the Senators was certainly less than ideal, and this one was unfortunately no different. This time, however, the Habs had some magic up their sleeves. After a decent first period, albeit one where the Habs could only do damage with their power play, they went to the…

It’s no secret that the Montreal Canadiens have had penalty issues this season. After going through the Canadiens’ penalties drawn and taken this season, we found that there are some areas that appear to be significant outliers compared to the expectations we have about how NHL games are officiated. About a month has passed, and I’ve scraped together enough time over the holidays and in the…

After wrapping up a three-game road trip, the Montreal Canadiens were back at the Bell Centre to host one of the top teams in the league, the Minnesota Wild. With the visitors playing the second half of a back-to-back, the Habs were in full control of the game at five-on-five, and ultimately took a 4-3 win in regulation thanks to a thrilling Cole Caufield goal with 15 seconds left on the clock.

PWHL play-by-play announcer Sam Ekstrom may have said it best: “Poulin! Who Else? Montreal wins!” Marie-Philip Poulin scored on a spinning backhand shot in overtime as the Montreal Victoire defeated the Minnesota Frost 2-1 at Grand Casino Arena in Minnesota on Wednesday night. It was somewhat reminiscent of the Bob Cole call stitched into my memory: The Canadiens win the game in overtime…

Badaboom! The Laval Rocket’s weekend series with the Calgary Wranglers begins with Filip Mešár scoring. Adam Engström causes a turnover on the offensive blue line and Lucas Condotta springs Mešár, who has time to deke the goalie inside out. Thirty-seven seconds in, Laval has the advantage on the scoreboard. Only a minute later, Laval gets a power play opportunity as Étienne Morin takes a…

The Montreal Canadiens held a third period lead against the Boston Bruins on Saturday night, but were unable to hold on. Two goals in 12 seconds proved to be the difference as they left Boston without a point, and squandered a chance to put some distance between them and the teams around them for the fourth straight game. There will always be games where you deserve a better fate…

With Alexander Zharovsky’s rise in the KHL, I reached out to an old friend and colleague, Ivan Letyagin, to get his input on the Montreal Canadiens prospect’s situation. “Zharovsky is a very talented player, playing now in my homeland city in Ufa,” Letyagin begins. “His talent and potential are so huge that I would say that there have not been any such hockey players in Russia for a long time.
