Canadiens vs. Jets Top Six Minutes: Habs stick with it for a win

Could you imagine Sportsnet not showing a tribute to a Toronto Maple Leafs player? It would never happen. A full shakeup has been made to the forward lines. I’m not sure about putting Slafkovský back on the top line because he seemed to be doing good work on the second one. I’m glad this game is also on RDS so I don’t gave to listen to Garry Galley’s giggling every time Montreal gets scored on. First period Mike Matheson advances up into the slot to take an open shot, a...

Predators Trade Rumors: Ryan O'Reilly Trade Down to 2 Teams

The Nashville Predators are one of the only NHL teams in sell mode, and veteran center Ryan O'Reilly is the prime trade candidate to be dealt first. O'Reilly has not looked like himself this season, and has called his own play out publicly. With that said, the Predators as a group are struggling, and GM Barry Trotz has no other move but to listen to trade offers. When it comes to moving O'Reilly, the New Jersey Devils and Montreal Canadiens are leading the charge. O'Reilly doesn't have any tra...

GM #26: Winnipeg Jets @ Montreal Canadiens

Wednesday’s clash involves a pair of Canadian NHL franchises that have seen their playoff hopes take a hit with a recent string of bad results. The fans of the True North franchise knows the Jets ( 13-12-0 ) have not done well over their ...

Bottom Six Minutes: Same old problems follow the Habs back to the Bell Centre

After a rather successful 2-1 road trip, the Montreal Canadiens were back at the Bell Centre on Tuesday night to face their divisional rivals in the Ottawa Senators. It was a less-than-triumphant return to home ice, culminating in a 5-2 loss that leaves them looking for answers in short order, since they’ll be hosting the Winnipeg Jets this evening. A lot of the same problems that they faced during their last losing streak were evidently present in the loss, but hey, at least the power pl...

Why Are The Jets Having Scoring Problems?

While I am coming to terms with the debacle of an outing the Winnipeg Jets had last night in Buffalo…and in an attempt to distract me from thinking about how Wednesday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens will go…I figured I would dive into the True Northers issues with secondary scoring this season. For this review, I opted to stick with Winnipeg’s forward position. The reason for this becomes obvious when you consider that the top unit of Mark Scheifele , Kyle Connor , & Gabriel Vilard...
