Here's The Excellent French Call Of Vlad Guerrero Jr.'s Montreal Walkoff
The Blue Jays closed out their spring with a game at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium on Tuesday, and it ended in the most dramatic fashion: a walk-off home run from Vlad Guerrero Jr., son of the Expos legend. The French broadcast booth lost its mind:...
The Islanders Got Hilariously Outshot And Still Won
The Montreal Canadiens got 56 shots on goal against goalie Thomas Greiss and the New York Islanders. On the defensive end, they only gave up 24 shots. Somehow, they still couldn’t win, as a John Tavares overtime goal and a truly dreadful performance from Carey Price handed Montreal a 5-4 loss in rid...
Shea Weber's 500th Point Was A Curveball
The Canadiens had looked like they’d gotten things figured out, winning five straight since the return of Carey Price from injury. (Funny how that works. You get the best goaltender in the world back in net, and he gives up six total goals in five games, and you win them all, and suddenly you’re thi...
There's Carey Price Injury Drama Again
Canadiens goalie Carey Price has an overall save percentage of .877 and hasn’t looked like himself all season. He hasn’t played at all since Nov. 2, when he gave up five goals against Minnesota in a 6-3 loss. The team initially ruled Price as day-to-day with a “lower body injury,” but now it’s a li...
This Is The Sort Of Weird Controversy That Always Seems To Happen In Montreal, Huh?
Alex Galchenyuk has struggled this season, scoring just two points with zero assists in 10 games as he’s been shuffled up and down the Canadiens’ lineups. The left winger was on the top line as recently as last week; he was on the fourth line in last night’s 4-0 loss to the Kings. As Galchenyuk goes...
Cooperstown Brought Together Bud Selig And Angry Expos Fans One Last Time
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.—It was always going to be a losing proposition. I came here for Hall of Fame induction weekend with one question: Where are the Bud Selig fans?...
Lightning Send Jonathan Drouin To Montreal
In the first of what I hope are many blockbuster trades over the next couple of days, the Tampa Bay Lightning are sending forward Jonathan Drouin and a conditional sixth-round 2018 draft pick to the Montreal Canadiens for defense prospect Mikhail Sergachev and a conditional 2018 second-round pick. W...
Alexander Radulov Is Older, Wiser, And As Good As Ever
When Alexander Radulov got going, so did the Canadiens. Montreal’s 2-1 series lead over the Rangers has been driven by the 30-year-old winger’s five points in the last two games, including this absurd one-handed beauty to seal Game 3:...

Otis Nixon Is Missing [Update: He's Been Found]
Otis Nixon, a former outfielder who spent 17 seasons on nine Major League teams, most famously on the Atlanta Braves’ worst-to-first turnaround team in 1991, is missing, according to police in Woodstock, Ga....
Marc Bergevin Is A Master Of Disguise
Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin pulled off a gag with a potted plant at Monday’s session of the NHL GM meetings. He must have enjoyed that brief moment of time in which he didn’t have to field any questions about P.K. Subban....
Montreal Still Loves P.K. Subban And The Feeling Is Apparently Mutual
Before P.K. Subban’s first game back in Montreal after the Canadiens traded him to the Nashville Predators last year, the Habs paid tribute to their former defenseman....
What In The Damn Heck, Canadiens Fire Michel Therrien And Hire Claude Julien
On the one hand this was so painfully obvious, and on the other hand, holy shit. The first-place Montreal Canadiens have fired head coach Michel Therrien amid a skid, and hired former Bruins coach Claude Julien, who was out of work for seven days, which was seven days too long....
Shea Weber Scores In Return To Nashville
It still feels strange to see Shea Weber in a Canadiens uniforms—he might’ve been the only player in franchise history to look right in Predators yellow—but at least the building and the crowd and the cheers were familiar. After 11 seasons there, Weber played his first game back in Nashville since a...
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....
MLS Playoff Game Delayed Over Turf Painting Error
The Montreal Impact are hosting their Canadian brethren Toronto FC tonight for the first leg of the Eastern Conference Championship, but the scheduled 8:00 p.m. EST kickoff has been delayed after the grounds crew at Montreal’s stadium had to repaint the 18-yard box lines. Players had already complet...
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...
