Coyotes pull away, beat Canadiens for first time since '98
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Radim Vrbata scored two goals and the Phoenix Coyotes bounced back from a shaky second period to beat Montreal 5-2 Thursday night for their first win over the Canadiens since 1998.
The Coyotes wanted to jump on Montreal early after the Canadiens won a six-round shootout against the NHL-leading Anaheim Ducks the night before and did just that, scoring three...
Habs Josh Gorges fractures hand
Earlier today the Montreal Canadiens announced on their twitter page that defenseman Josh Gorges will miss the teams final two road games (against Phoenix and San Jose). Michael Miller-Wikimedia CommonsIt has been revealed that Gorges is suffering from a hand fracture and will head back to Montreal to get examined by the team doctors.

GARTH'S CORNER: Don't Eat The Yellow Snow
Is there an NHL GM getting more grief and bad pub these days than Garth Snow of the NY Islanders?
Snow butchered the Thomas Vanek trade on Wednesday. Totally butchered it. He traded his extremely valuable pending UFA sniper to Montreal for a 2nd round pick and a former second round prospect Sebastien Collberg.
Snow has had six weeks to craft a smart deal for Vanek that would allo...
Canadiens Best Ducks in Shootout
The last time the Montreal Canadiens and the Ducks got together, Montreal won handily. The second meeting, this time in Anaheim, also ended in the Canadiens favor, but the 4-3 shutout loss at least yielded a point for the Ducks.
Both teams battled hard in the seesaw game and things could have gone either way. The six round shootout could have ended sooner were it not for...
Thomas Vanek traded to the historic Montreal Canadiens
After a flurry of trades at the NHL trade deadline, there was only one winner in my mind this year. The Montreal Canadiens acquired; actually let me re-phrase that, STOLE Thomas Vanek from the New York Islanders.
Islanders General Manager Garth Snow has been hearing the wrath from Islanders faithful about how little the team got in return for the Canadiens. Vanek...
Francois Beauchemin’s Lucky Bounce Baffles Canadiens Goalie (Video)
Montreal Canadiens backup goalie Dustin Tokarski allowed three second-period goals Wednesday night in Anaheim, but he can’t really be held responsible for this one.
With the Canadiens leading the Ducks 2-1 midway through the second, Anaheim winger Francois Beauchemin carried into the neutral zone and let fly what he thought would be a wraparound clear attempt. Tokarski thought...
Eric Engels: Habs Steal Vanek, Beat Ducks on Quest to Make a run in the East
1) With less than an hour left to the deadline, Ryan Kesler, Thomas Vanek and Matt Moulson were still available pieces.
Kesler was a hockey trade that would've involved several key pieces to make his acquisition; the kind of deal more likely consumed on draft day. The Vancouver Canucks weren't just going to trade him to acquiesce to his demand; they had to make a deal...
Viddeo- Dustin Tokarski With The Bad Goal Of The Night
Dustin Tokarski of the Montreal Canadiens wants this one back..
Canadiens edge Ducks 4-3 in SO
Sometimes, said Dustin Tokarski, you get the breaks.
Tokarski, who made 39 saves to lead the Canadiens to a 4-3 shootout win over the Anaheim Ducks Wednesday night, didn't get the break when Francois Beauchemin scored on a freak goal in the second period.
But the hockey gods smiled on the backup goaltender when he had a helping hand from two posts.
Tokarski thought Kyle Palmieri...

From the WHL:
Tim Bozon was admitted to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon on Saturday, March 1 and has been diagnosed with Neisseria Meningitis. Tim’s parents, Phillippe and Helene Bozon...
Marc Bergevin: wanted for grand larceny
What a trade by the Montreal Canadiens. Tomas Vanek and a 5th for Sebastian Collberg and a 2nd. Or, another way, a 40 goal scorer in his prime for a Habs B prospect and a pick. Who knows how this went down - maybe they were after him for a while, maybe they swept in at the last minute - but regardless, the Montreal Canadiens do very, very well in this deal.
The Habs also acquired...
New York Islanders ship high-scoring winger Thomas Vanek to Montreal Canadiens
The New York Islanders shipped out veteran forward Thomas Vanek on March 5 as they sent him to the Montreal Canadiens on the NHL’s trade deadline day. In return, the Islanders received a prospect named Sebastian Collberg as well as a second-round draft choice. Vanek is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. The Islanders offered the 30-year-old native of Vienna...
Thomas Vanek traded to Montreal Canadiens
The Montreal Canadiens acquired Thomas Vanek from the New York Islanders on Wednesday, reports NHL.com. The Islanders received a second-round draft pick and prospect Sebastian Collberg from the Canadiens. Vanek is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent after the season and appears to be ready to test his market value when the free-agent signing period opens July 1. Montreal...
Dan Petriw: Thomas Vanek traded to Montreal; Time to storm the Castle
The New York Islanders have traded Thomas Vanek to the Montreal Canadiens for a 2014 second round pick and Sebastien Collberg. This is another clear cut failure by the organization and a swift kick to the groin of this passionate fan base.
It's up to you Islander fans; you need to send a message. This team deserves your boycott. They deserve to play in front of an empty...

Price ‘making progress’ on lower-body injury
Injured Canadiens goaltender Carey Price made a brief appearance on the ice Tuesday and he shed some light on the lower-body injury that has sidelined him since he returned from the Sochi Olympics.
“I’m making a progress,” Price told the media after he spent 15 minutes on the ice during an optional workout at the Los Angeles Kings practice facility in El Segundo.
Price said...
Habs prep for deadline day
If the answer is Mike Weaver, well, I'm not sure what the question is. Regardless, that's who Montreal ended up with on Tuesday, in exchange for a 5th round pick. Marc Bergevin and co. seem to have a modus operandi for deadlines, and it consists of depth defencemen.
So what's coming down the pipe tomorrow? Well, likely nothing. This is generally the norm, and Habs fans...
Canadiens Strengthen Defensive Core With Weaver by Steven Ellis
The Montreal Canadiens have acquired defenseman Mike Weaver from the Florida Panthers in exchange for a fifth round draft pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. With the Canadiens shipping off Rafael Diaz to Vancouver earlier in February, Weaver comes as a low risk defenseman capable of logging valuable minutes if called upon. The 35 yea old defenseman isn’t known [...]

NHL at the Rink reports the Montreal Canadiens placed goaltender Carey Price on injured reserve Monday. Price has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury and has been unable to fully practice for the past week.Price is with the team for their four-game western road trip that began with a 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings Monday night. He could be activated from the IR...
Kings grind down Canadiens, extend their winning streak to five games
The Kings made the most out of the least again Monday night. They scored one more goal than the opposition and then put the game into a deep freeze. They sure didn’t have their fans on the edge of their seats awaiting one highlight-reel scoring chance after another.
Mostly, it seemed as if the Kings parked a big black bus in front of goaltender Jonathan Quick and then turned away...
Well that's disappointing: B's/Canadians at Gillette off the table?
After reports trickled out back in late-January that the NHL was mulling over its options for the Stadium Series next season, Gillette Stadium was mentioned among the chatter, with the game being between the Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens. A perfect plan from top to bottom.However, it now looks like that plan may be axed.According to a tweet from Renaud Lavoie, a reporter for...
Eric Engels: The Max Pacioretty Show
1) A big part of the Montreal-Toronto rivalry this season has centred on two players that know each other pretty well--Max Pacioretty and James van Riemsdyk.
In the four games they've played against each other, these USA Olympic teammates have combined for nine goals. JVR's five beats Pacioretty's four, but Montreal's star winger added a couple of assists to his...

Canadiens Forward Dale Weise Gets Stitches After Taking Skate To Face (Photo)
Candiens forward Dale Weise was on the receiving end of a gnarly injury Saturday night when the skate of Tonronto Maple Leafs center Nazem Kadri came down on Weise’s face while he was down on the ice.
Thing could have turned out way worse than they did, and Weise got stitches to close up the gash on his upper lip. Maybe Weise will take up the #MustacheMarch cause as a cover.
