Why is everyone saying the trade happened because of what was said yesterday? Because it really wasn’t. Guathier and Feaster have both said the the trade was in the works for a while. I can understand how Hab fans are sad about him being traded. He was definitely a crowd favourite (when he played well…), but he was awful and was very costly as of late.
I’m really looking forward to seeing René Bourque in a Canadiens jersey.
WEDNESDAY’S BEST
Lars Eller, who had never scored more than two points in one game in his three seasons in the NHL, recorded four goals and one assist in the Canadiens’ 7-3 win over the Jets on Wednesday. Elias
What the hell is a Hab? (For the record, I know what a Hab is—but that doesn’t make it any less lame.)
Ahh, I want a Montreal Canadian jersey too!
Here is that Patrick Kane shootout goal everyone is talking about
“I didn’t know which way I was going to go. I’ve been kind of practicing a little in practice to go slow and see which way the goalie bites,” he told the Chicago Tribune. “So I was ready either to bring it back to my backhand or forehand and he bit on the backhand fake.” Photo: Hannah Foslien/Getty Images
Best shootout goal ever or best shootout goal ever?
Exciting? Martin ruined Habs hockey. He made the games brutally boring to watch.
Glad he’s gone.
Apparently that hit was worth three games.
NEW YORK — Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty has been suspended, without pay, for three games for delivering an illegal hit to the head of Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang during NHL Game #331 Saturday night in Montreal, the National Hockey League’s Department of Player Safety announced today.

One thing I hate about the media surrounding the Canadiens
Quebec likes to think of itself as a country. A province of its own. Blah, blah… If you live outside of Quebec, then this will all sound like gibberish. Sorry in advance.
With the above said, there’s a lot of pressure from the media/people on the amount of Quebécois players on the Habs roster. The amount of attention Louis Leblanc got when he was drafted in 2009 was ridiculous. A lot of people were glad that the organisation picked up a local player, and a lot of people said they simply picked him to shut everyone up.
No one in Ontario gives a shit how many Ontarian born players are on their team. Same goes for Florida, Colorado, St. Louis, and every other team in the league. Sure, you are definitely proud when a player from your hometown makes the team, but will you go out of your way complaining to every media outlet if he isn’t? No.
That’s how it’s done, Buffalo
This is probably the same person who starts the “USA, USA” chants.
Or maybe she meant, “Canadiens.”
