Habs Claim Paul Byron From Flames
In the wake of a busy day for the Montreal Canadiens, the team announced they have claimed 26-year-old Paul Byron from the Calgary Flames. He will wear #41.

Case for Captain: Max Pacioretty
As the season edges closer, we also come closer to finding out who will have the “C” sewn on their jersey for this upcoming season. That is, if they to opt for a captain.

Stanley Cup Playoffs Game 1 – Canadiens vs. Lightning: Notes and Numbers

If I Was Michel Therrien for a Game
The stress of being an NHL coach is probably immeasurable; especially if it’s a job patrolling the Montreal Canadiens’ bench. This fan base is relentless. It’s also bilingual – he likely gets it twice as bad as other unilingual teams. Thankfully, I don’t know much French, so it wouldn’t be so bad for me. Though, […]
