At just 17 years old with braces still on his teeth, the Slovakian forward carried his country to an Olympic bronze medal while earning tournament MVP honors after scoring seven goals in seven games.
With about 24 hours to go before the Canadian men’s Olympic hockey team’s first game at the 2026 Olympics, Jon Cooper’s men held a practice in front of the media.Yes, yes!
Will the Canadiens go out and get a player who can play on their top six for the rest of the season? That’s obviously a question on everyone’s mind in the city.
The Montreal Canadiens may be on their Olympic break right now, but there are still a few storylines that should be followed closely as soon as the break ends a few days before their first game back on Thursday, February 26th, at the Bell Centre against the New York Islanders.
The defensive lineup of the Canadian hockey team for the Olympics continues to be a topic of discussion. Earlier today, Renaud Lavoie said on BPM Sports that he believed Canada would only win a bronze medal, mainly because of “the worst defense” the country has ever sent.
In the lore of the NHL, it's the Stanley Cup-winning teams that are remembered the most from seasons past. Yet, when looking back on the best of the best
Jacob Fowler has been selected to participate in the American Hockey League All-Star Game. It’s well deserved… since the goalie is having a great season with the Laval Rocket.
The Rocket is really having a great run. The Canadiens’ farm team has a 7-2-1 record in its last ten games and is also sitting at the top of its division.
The NHL's Olympic break may prove beneficial, but one could have done without it. The Montreal Canadiens are so much fun to watch that a normal continuation of play would be preferred.
The Men’s Hockey Olympic Tournament is about to start on Wednesday morning, and with that, there’s no better time to make predictions for each of the four Montreal Canadiens players who will be representing their countries over the next 2 weeks.
The Montreal Canadiens organization is dealing with an embarrassment of riches. It’s the kind of problem other teams wish they had. As a result, heading into the NHL trade deadline on March 6, the question is whether they stand pat with what they have or make a trade, taking a swing that might put them in real contender status.
The Montreal Canadiens are enjoying a well-earned Olympic break after putting together a 32-17-8 record over the first 57 games of the 2025-26 National Hockey League season.
Following the trade deadline, Pierre LeBrun appeared on TSN 690 to discuss several topics. Among them was, of course, the Patrik Laine situation, who was not traded before the trade freeze.
Every once in a while, you run into a player who reminds you why this sport still tugs at the heart. For me right now, that’s the Montreal Canadiens Juraj Slafkovský.
Every Olympic year, we all check the rosters to see who might break out. Nick Suzuki should be on that list. The Montreal Canadiens’ captain has been excellent this season.
The next prospect in my series of top 10 Montreal Canadiens prospects is Owen Beck, who is unsurprisingly ranked as the seventh prospect in the Habs’ pipeline.
Right now, things are going well for the Canadiens. The Montreal club is second in its division and has a good chance of making the playoffs. That said, nothing is guaranteed, as the race in the East is tight.
The Montreal Canadiens surprised many with how strong and competitive they looked early in the season. Despite modest external expectations, they established themselves as a structured, resilient team capable of beating quality opponents.
If it wasn’t already obvious, Chris Johnston has put a stamp on the idea that any chance the Montreal Canadiens have or had of acquiring Sidney Crosby in a trade is now gone.
Will the 2026 trade deadline be entertaining in the NHL? Who knows. We know that, for a variety of reasons, it’s possible that things will be relatively quiet on the heels of the deadline, which is March 6.
The Montreal Canadiens traded for Patrik Laine a couple years ago in a deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Laine wanted a fresh start following some injury-filled seasons in Columbus.
In this edition of the Montreal Canadiens News & Rumours, general manager (GM) Kent Hughes has his work cut out for him as the team continues its most critical point of the rebuild. The Olympic break may be here, but it doesn’t stop the news surrounding the Canadiens.
The Canadiens have begun to softly position themselves in the market for a right-winger to complement Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki on the top line ahead of the trade deadline, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period said on Daily Faceoff’s “The Sheet with Jeff Marek” podcast last Friday.
The Montreal Canadiens have been one of the NHL's top five teams for the past year, since the return from the Four Nations Face-Off break. This is not an opinion; it is a fact.
The Montreal Canadiens' Jacob Fowler is the kind of young goalie who makes you want to see more. Every time he gets a new chance, he seems to learn something new.
With the Montreal Canadiens heading into the Olympic break, the organization finally gets a rare luxury this season: time. Time to breathe, reset, and perhaps most importantly, shift its attention down the road to the Laval Rocket.
