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 ...
Canadiens Goalie Ben Scrivens Saved By Magic Puck
The Montreal Canadiens lost 3-1 to the Florida Panthers last night, and the score would have been 4-1 if not for this strange bit of physics:...
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....
Didier Drogba, Still An Innovator, Inventing New Ways To Play The Sport
Didier Drogba is in the twilight of his career, but that hasn’t stopped him from innovating. Look at this ingenious technique applied during Montreal’s playoff win against Columbus tonight. Magisterial! ...
Didier Drogba, Who's Destroying MLS, Says MLS Has A Lot To Improve
Didier Drogba, one of our favorite players over the years who’s nonetheless closer to middle age than the middle of his playing prime, gave some of the gentle yet unambiguous real talk that former European stars cashing checks in MLS are prone to hand down from time to time. Surprise surprise, he do...
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....
Didier Drogba Is Like The Coolest Camp Counselor
I don’t know what’s more endearing: the way Didier Drogba coaxes these Montreal Impact academy kids into an impromptu dance circle, or the way the kids take to it with such gusto. Drogba may well have found his second calling....
Michael Sam Returns To CFL Team After Unexplained Absence
With no NFL prospects this offseason, Michael Sam had planned a stint in the CFL, until he abruptly left the Montreal Alouettes on June 12 without an explanation. Today, the defensive end returned to the team, telling the press that he “had to deal with a personal matter.”...
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. ...
What's Going On With Michael Sam?
The last time we checked in with Michael Sam, he had signed a two-year contract with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. But just three weeks later, and the day before the Alouettes’ first exhibition match, Sam has left the team amidst murky circumstances. The Alouettes released ...
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....
Michael Sam Is Going To The CFL
Michael Sam, who came out, got drafted by the Rams, cut, signed by the Cowboys, cut again, and went to the veteran combine, is now a Montreal Alouette. The defensive end signed a two-year contract....

The Montreal Alouettes are reportedly looking into the tweets of defensive lineman Khalif Mitchell, who has gone on a conspiracy-video kick over the past week....
