The Habs may have the worst 'bottom-6' in the NHL right now
Jake Evans won’t be playing tomorrow. The Canadiens have announced that he has left the team for personal reasons and will join the club in New York, ahead of Saturday’s game against the Rangers.
Who is the winningest coach for every NHL franchise?
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
Andrei Markov News / Dose.ca / December 11
'The second time I saw Markov smile was when I took him to Chez Parée.'

Jacob Fowler won’t solve all of the Canadiens’ problems
When you look at the Eastern standings, one thing is clear: the Canadiens are lucky to play in a division that isn’t the strongest in the NHL. Otherwise, the club wouldn’t be in the famous mix.

Problems in front of the net: Maybe it’s time to change goalie coaches
The goalkeeping situation in Montreal is difficult. Samuel Montembeault and Jakub Dobes have, more often than not, performed poorly. Short of solutions, perhaps we should start thinking about changing goalkeeping coaches.

Jakub Dobes News / The Sick Podcast / December 10
Time To Chat About Jakub Dobes’ Role
The Montreal Canadiens don’t have a goaltender who can be a starter right now. As good as Jakub Dobes can be sometimes, it’s time for all of us to face it that the Czech netminder can’t be anything more than a 1B goaltender who can give a team 35-40 starts a season at the most.

Three goalie scouts at the Bell Centre yesterday: What if the Habs had a goalie on the market?
A hockey club can’t win if its goaltenders allow too many goals. There are other aspects to consider when looking at a team’s success: player performance, the team’s system of play, efficiency on special units… But in the end, the most important thing is in front of the net.
Martin St. Louis News / Dose.ca / December 10
Martin St-Louis responded (rather) curtly to a question from Arpon Basu
Last night at the Bell Centre, the Canadiens played like crap against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The result? As a result, Martin St-Louis wasn’t the happiest guy on earth at this morning’s practice.

Kahkonen Would Provide the Shakup the Canadiens Need
The Montreal Canadiens are flirting with a top-three position in the Atlantic Division. This is a big jump from their position at the same time last season. Yet, they have struggled recently.

Alexandre Texier News / The Sick Podcast / December 9
Why Alexandre Texier Is An Underrated Signing
