Carey Price Unleashed The Goalie Fury Upon Kyle Palmieri
Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price snapped in the first period of Thursday’s game and beat the hell out of New Jersey Devils winger Kyle Palmieri....
Andrew Shaw Gets Penalty, Breaks Stuff, Swears A Lot
Andrew Shaw had scored the Canadiens’ first goal with two minutes left in Tuesday’s game against the Ducks, but he hampered Montreal’s chances at tying when he received a hooking penalty with 27 seconds left. Shaw took his rage out on his stick—and eventually, a bunch of other sticks....
Report: Canadiens' Analytics Guy Let Go After Telling Team Not To Trade P.K. Subban
Matt Pfeffer had a one-year contract as an analytics consultant for the Montreal Canadiens, and the team reportedly informed him Wednesday that it wouldn’t be renewed for the upcoming season. According to one report, Pfeffer had strongly argued not to trade defenseman P.K. Subban, and lost more than...
Holy Shit, The Canadiens Traded P.K. Subban
Minutes after the Oilers sent Taylor Hall to the Devils for Adam Larsson, the Montreal Canadiens traded P.K. Subban to the Nashville Predators for Shea Weber in a one-for-one trade. The hockey stove is so fucking hot....
No Canadian NHL Teams Made The Stanley Cup Playoffs This Year, Woe Be Unto The North
Been to Canada lately? Everything’s marked down. Five years ago, the loonie was at historic highs against the greenback. Lately the Canadian dollar will get you about 77 American pennies, a partial result of Canada having yoked its economy to crude oil, which in 2014 went off a frickin’ cliff. Every...
P.K. Subban Stretchered Off The Ice After Hit To The Neck
Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban was stretchered off the ice late in the third period of a win over the Sabres, after getting hit by teammate Alexei Emelin. Subban was battling with Marcus Foligno in the corner when he fell to his knees, and his neck was sort of backed into by Emelin. Subban immedia...
The Canadiens' Automated Twitter Promotion Has Gone Horribly Awry
I thought we’d already learned our lesson here. Just like the New England Patriots, the Montreal Canadiens decided to celebrate reaching one million followers on Twitter by creating custom avatar jerseys with Twitter handles. But the Canadiens were so lazy that they didn’t even bother to filter out ...
Craig Smith Did A Thing That I Have No Idea How He Did
I say this without hyperbole: this might be the most improbable thing that’s ever happened in sports. With a wide open net two feet away in overtime, Nashville’s Craig Smith shot the puck—somehow got his stick in front of it—and blocked his own shot....
Report: Canadiens "Gauging The Market" For P.K. Subban
I do not believe the Canadiens will trade P.K. Subban. I totally buy Greg Wyshynski’s idea that this is being made up by a rival GM to make the Habs look bad. But still, but still....
P.K. Subban Benched, Blamed For Canadiens Loss
The Canadiens have sunk like a stone, going from a historically good first month of the season to well out of the playoff picture, and with Carey Price reportedly likely done for the year with an MCL injury, there’s no reason to think they’re going to turn things around. So it’s about that time of y...
NHL Reverses Course, Lets John Scott Into The All-Star Game
Although the Coyotes traded All-Star John Scott on Friday to the Canadiens, who promptly sent him to the AHL, the enforcer will still play in the All-Star Weekend’s 3-on-3 tournament. The NHL announced today that Scott would remain as the captain of the Pacific Division for the season break in Nashv...
John Scott Gets Screwed Out Of His All-Star Spot
Today’s three-way trade involving the Coyotes, Predators, and Canadiens will have little impact on the teams’ rosters, but it will affect the NHL’s All-Star Weekend on Jan. 30-31. Former Coyote John Scott, who was voted in as the Pacific Division’s captain, most likely won’t be in Nashville for the ...
P.K. Subban Doesn't Really Care How French Speakers Pronounce His Name
There’s now a little bit of fuss—just un petit peu—over how broadcasters should pronounce Canadiens star P.K. Subban’s first initials. Should a French-language station, airing to mostly Francophone viewers, pronounce the name of an Anglophone player the way they would, or the way he would?...
Mike Condon Somehow Saved This Shot Without Seeing It
Les mighty Canadiens de Montréal fell 3-2 to the Carolina Hurricanes last night, but keeper Mike Condon kept them in it with this brilliant, telekinetic wondersave in the third....
The Canadiens Are So Hot Right Now
Maybe the Canadiens got bored with going 6-0 against the East to start the season. So last night they welcomed the Blues, the first-place team in the West and on a four-game winning streak of their own, and shut them out....
Carey Price Wins Hart, Vezina Trophies, Ted Lindsay Award
Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price cleaned up at the NHL Awards show Wednesday night, winning the Hart Trophy as the league’s MVP, the Vezina Trophy as the league’s best goalie, and the Ted Linsday Award for the league’s most outstanding player as voted by the NHLPA. ...
P.K. Subban Stops By Street Hockey Game, Punks Little Goalie
Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban crashed a street hockey game in Montreal Sunday and took a few shots. Overlook the fact that Subban’s wearing sandals with jeans, and instead focus on him playing against an overmatched kid in pads....
P.K. Subban Goes Undercover As Karl The Security Guard To Surprise Kids
Take five minutes to watch this video of a disguised P.K. Subban surprising some local kids with Habs gear, a day on the ice at the Canadiens' practice rink, and, eventually, himself. If you must, skip to 3:20 for the big reveal—and his refusal to go easy on the young skaters....
