Montreal Canadiens Need Veteran Leadership for the Next Step
The Montreal Canadiens’ 2024-25 season has come to an end, and surprisingly, it came in the playoffs. While last summer, everyone expected the franchise to take a step forward, few people outside of the Canadiens’ dressing room expected a playoff appearance.

Dach, Newhook and company: let’s put an end to small projects and find some certainties

Canadiens Notes: Hutson, Laine, Free Agents, Dach

Jeff Gorton on Kirby Dach: Time is running out
Kirby Dach hasn’t had the easiest of seasons. It took him a while to get going because he had to miss almost the entire 23-24 campaign due to injury. We’ve seen a few flashes from him this season (as in the holiday season), but mostly he’s been inconsistent on the ice.

Kent Hughes: 'For me, we’re not in the playoffs without Patrik Laine'
Patrik Laine isn’t a perfect player. And the Canadiens knew that before they went looking for him in Columbus. But even if Laine “got into trouble at 5-on-5”, in the words of Kent Hughes, the sniper still found a way to help his club.

World Championship: 'You have to wonder if Nick Suzuki regrets saying no'
John Shannon, who is involved in field hockey media in English Canada, posted a funny tweet yesterday. Basically, he said that with Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon off to represent their country at the World Championship, it’s fair to wonder if Nick Suzuki and Connor Bedard regret saying no to Hockey Canada.
Spencer Knight expects to see Jacob Fowler in the NHL soon
Since joining the Rocket, Jacob Fowler has been shining. In two playoff games with Laval, he’s almost perfect. That didn’t stop Pascal Vincent from putting Cayden Primeau in front of his team’s net today… He lost.
Cayden Primeau News / Dose.ca / May 4
Cayden Primeau was unable to eliminate the Monsters

Montreal Canadiens’ 2024-25 Player Grades: Forwards
Entering the 2024-25 season, no one expected much from the rebuilding Montreal Canadiens. With a young core and an unproven lineup, the focus was on development, not results.

Lane Hutson contract: if Matt Coronato earns $6.5 million a year…
When you look at the CH’s upcoming summer, one thing stands out: the famous second center. In the eyes of just about everyone, this has to be Kent Hughes’ top priority: he needs someone to step in for Nick Suzuki and play center to Ivan Demidov next year.

Lack of Depth Leads To Canadiens' Exit vs. Capitals
With the Montreal Canadiens' season officially over thanks to a 4-1 series loss against Alex Ovechkin and the Stanley Cup-hopeful Washington Capitals, the burning question is what went wrong for the Habs?

Juraj Slafkovský’s advice to Ivan Demidov: don’t listen to people’s comments
Juraj Slafkovský has been a fixture in Montreal for several years now. The forward, who celebrated his 21st birthday in March, now has three seasons with the CH behind his tie… and that makes him a little less the flavor of the moment.

Jakub Dobes not sold to Laval (unlike Cayden Primeau)
With the Montreal Canadiens’ season now over, all efforts now turn to the Laval Rocket. Pascal Vincent’s team finished first in the AHL, and currently leads their three-of-five first-round series against the Cleveland Monsters 2-0.

Gabriel D’Aigle: young Quebec goalie dreams of being drafted by the CH
The Montreal Canadiens have filled their bank of prospects and young players very well since the start of their rebuild. Of course, when Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton arrived, the CH already had a few good young players like Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, as well as a few good prospects like Kaiden Guhle.

Canadiens St. Louis a Deserving Jack Adams Finalist… Not Winner
There were many worthwhile Jack Adams Award candidates in 2024-25. So, it speaks to Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis’ legitimacy as a fourth-year bench boss that he earned one of the final three finalist spots, alongside Scott Arniel (Winnipeg Jets) and Spencer Carbery (Washington Capitals).
