Back in February, reports linking the Montreal Canadiens (among other teams) to Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras began emerging. While Canadiens fans were obviously excited about the prospect of landing a star of Zegras' calibre, the 23-year-old, who dressed for only 31 games this year, spent the majority of his season trying to overcome an injury. With that said, Zegras recently admitted to Eric Stephens of The Athletic that he found the trade rumours hard to ignore. “You see it,” Zegras said in a newly released exclusive interview ..read more

As the 2023-24 NHL season has ended and the Stanley Cup Playoffs have begun, non-playoff teams can start to look towards the future, such as the draft, free agency, and the following season. While the Canadiens took many encouraging steps in the right direction as they transition away from a rebuild and towards playoff contention, some key players showed significant progression throughout the season, while others ultimately failed to do so. The Canadiens' roster will look slightly different to commence the 2024-25 season — likely boasting a few young and exciting new players such as Lane Huts ..read more

The ice hockey trade journal, something of a bible for the sport, especially in its home country of Canada, gingerly predicted before the NHL season that the Edmonton Oilers had the best chance of making a good “playoff run” for the seven Canadian teams. There was no talk of winning the Stanley Cup wisely. Canada has been waiting for final victory for more than 30 years.

No, this is not a call for all Evgeny Dadonov fan-club members to unite, him being the only Dallas Stars player to have been a member of the Canadiens. In fact, if you're looking to cheer on teams because of specific players, the Stars' opponents, the Golden Knights might end up being the better choice, with four Quebecers on their roster ..read more

Marie-Philip Poulin remembers walking into the Bell Centre for her first Montreal Canadiens game at age 16 and witnessing a sellout crowd of rabid hockey fans. Poulin couldn't have imagined then that scene would happen in women's professional hockey.
