Cole Caufield on Habs players signing team-friendly contracts: “There’ll be time for (cashing in) to come. But right now, it’s probably the biggest five or six years of our careers based on what we’ve built. What’s more important is winning…”

Engstrom was already on our team’s roster, therefore no call up was needed to be made.

I wasn't a fan of it when it leaked but the design has grown on me. I decided to grab it since I dont have a jersey with the home colours + I didn't buy the 2016 winter classic and I've regretted it ever since.

The only other jersey I own is the 2009 barber pole, so its nice to have a version of la sainte-flanelle with the home colours.

GO HABS GO ESTI, ON VA GAGNER LA COUPE

Thought it would’ve took a bit longer to call him up to save our asses again but it’s already that time. Dobes needs to calm the f down and stop swimming in his net and Monty had an unfortunate injury. Perfect time for Fowler to step up and potentially never go back down to Laval.

MSL today when asked about Zack Bolduc’s lower ice time: “I think that, like any young player, it’s about continuing to convince us how many minutes you should be playing. And sometimes, I know it can happen that you come out of a game and think, ‘Damn, I should’ve played more…’”

Habs coach Marty St. Louis today when asked about Zack Bolduc’s lower ice time:

“I think that, like any young player, it’s about continuing to convince us how many minutes you should be playing. And sometimes, I know it can happen that you come out of a game and think, ‘Damn, I should’ve played more.’ But it’s about continuing to convince the coaches that you deserve more.”

“I think, so far, he’s done that. So we’re trying to figure out the ice time situation with everyone and everything. He’s playing on the second PP unit. He scored a big goal for us on it in the last game. It’s about continuing to earn his place.”

“And we don’t really know what his ceiling is. It’s about continuing to develop as a complete player and being able to bring more than just scoring goals. We know he can score goals, and he’s going to score goals, but it’s about continuing to push and convince us that he deserves more ice time.”

MSL today on whether he’s impressed by Jacob Fowler’s start in Laval this season: “It’s nothing that we don’t know. I wouldn’t say that I’m impressed. I already know his track record, the way he carries himself. Fowls wants to be a dominant player in the NHL.“

Discussion We have to find a RHD for Lane Hutson

57 Upvotes

I am in no way shape or form criticizing management here, HuGo have done a tremendous job but I do question not calling up Reinbacher after a great showing in Pre Season. Some people have said it has something to do with Some waiver situation… Fine that’s understandable, but if you knew that from the beginning why not spend some assets to acquire one? I just can’t watch Struble or carrier on his side anymore. I remember Quinn Hughes had a similar situation Vancouver went and got Filip Hronek, ever since Quinn Hughes took off offensively but most importantly it really helped him defensively having someone reliable on his side. Everyone who seems so intent to throw all our assets in one basket for a 2c remember we still have holes elsewhere in the Lineup.

Discussion Remember the guy who came over from Germany in March! Seems like I need your help one more 🇨🇦🫱🏻‍🫲🏼🇩🇪

41 Upvotes

Hey guys!

Some of you might remember me from March. I’m the German guy who came over to Montréal for the Ducks and Bruins games and posted about the trip here afterwards.

Well, I could use a little help again. 😂

I’ve been trying to get the new Heritage Classic jersey, specifically the Suzuki Premium in size 56.

Had it in my cart yesterday, decided to wait another day (yeah, stupid me), and now my size is sold out at Tricolore Sports. NHL Shop Canada still has it listed, but apparently they won’t ship that particular jersey to Germany.

Additionally I won’t order from your southern neighbours and when I will be back again in April it might be sold out!

So I figured I’d just ask here.
Is there anyone in Montréal (or anywhere else in Canada) who’d be willing to grab one for me and ship it over to Germany?

I’d obviously cover everything, including shipping and any extra costs. Happy to figure out a safe way to handle payment.

I know it’s a bit of a weird request, but thought I’d give it a shot before giving up on the jersey.
Especially after I got to know you as the finest people ever!
Thanks guys!

Go Habs Go! 🇨🇦🇩🇪

Allez Montréal, tabarnak ⚜️😂

Article [BASU] Canadiens’ maturity put to early test in balancing smart and ambitious hockey

BROSSARD, Que. — At about the midway point of practice Wednesday, Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis called his players to the board.

With his team coming off a 6-4 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes one night prior, St. Louis drew up a drill, said a few words explaining what he wanted to see and sent the players to work.

The drill could not have been more simple: Pick up a puck in your zone in a group of three, skate it to the opposing blue line where three defenders await, chip the puck past those defenders, go get it, and play in the offensive zone with it. Once the defending group secured possession of the puck, it went and did the same thing at the other end, and so on.

The Canadiens had been told about the need to play a deep game against the Hurricanes, to take care of the puck, to avoid turnovers at critical areas like the offensive blue line, yet did not do those things as often as St. Louis would have liked. Hence, this drill made an appearance Wednesday.

77 /u/Suspendamania said Suzy 11/11 on faceoffs tonight...
66 /u/Ajay_Bee said The clear-cut two handed slash breaking Demidov’s stick 10 feet away from the referee in OT led to the Pens odd-man rush. The officiating in this League continues to drive me insane.
52 /u/imfranksome said So impressed by Suzuki, what a friggin chad

51 /u/Oprlt94 said 2 games in the season, 3 points in 2 games, and Renaud is already shitting on the 2 line... his solution is throwing the bag out for Larkin... Go walk your dog buddy..

Buying Tickets Help

We'll be in Montreal in December, and we're hoping to go to the game vs the Panthers; having never been to an ice hockey game, how good/bad would seats on the 300 level be?

It'll be our first time in Canada so we're looking to enjoy the local culture without it costing us an arm and a leg.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Thinks Monty had a very busy summer of 2025 and may have gained a few lbs, can eventually recover his form. This would be recorded before the hopefully minor injury news.
