    Tonight, at 7.30pm, the two Floridian teams faced off in Game 2 of their first-round series.
    Florida won Game 1 by a score of 3-2.

  • Trevor Zegras: The Canadiens don’t have what the Ducks want

    I don’t know when the rumours of Trevor Zegras in Montreal will die down, but right now, it’s one of the most talked-about rumours in Montreal.
    Some are for a potential arrival, some are against. Everyone has valid arguments, but what would Kent Hughes have to pay to lure the talented player to town?
    At Pat Verbeek’s (Ducks GM) end-of-season press conference, he announced his needs. And Montreal doesn’t have anything he wants.

  • Asia/Oceania U18 Cup: Thailand beat Kuwait 57-0

    One-sided matches are common at the World Junior Championship. When powerhouses like Canada, the USA or Sweden take on the likes of Germany or Kazakhstan, we’re treated to 10-0 games.
    But games with a 15-goal deficit are quite rare. In Asia, however, the opposite is true. On the very first day of the IIHF U18 2024 Asian/Oceania Cup, Thailand crushed Kuwait 57-0.

  • We have to worry about Justin Barron’s future in the NHL

    Justin Barron had an ordinary season.
    Very ordinary.The defenseman played 48 games for the Habs, but also had to take a trip to the AHL to fine-tune his game . That said, the longer this goes on, the more we wonder whether Barron has what it takes to establish himself as a useful player for a National League team.
    The right-hander has some nice offensive qualities… But that’s about all.
    He has a good first pass and can make an impact when he’s confident and decides to go on t

    At the last trade deadline, there were rumors of Pierre-Luc Dubois being sent to Montreal.
    The original idea was to create a “problem” exchange…
    But the scenario never materialized, and that’s just as well.
    Tony Marinaro revisited these rumours today on the Georges Laraque and Stéphane Gonzalez show (BPM Sports), and made a statement worth sharing.

    The Kings will be in Quebec City this fall to hold their annual training camp in preparation for the start of next season.
    Games against the Bruins and Panthers are also on the schedule…
    But it’s also worth remembering that the $5 to $7 million subsidy (public money) offered by the government for the Kings to come and play exhibition games in Quebec City didn’t go down well with many, which is to be expected.

    Last night, the Islanders really got away with it.
    They were winning Game 2 of their series against the Hurricanes by a score of 3-0… And Patrick Roy’s men simply collapsed.
    Carolina scored five unanswered goals to escape with the win and take a 2-0 series lead.Patrick Roy has seen it all in his career, however, and he’s not ready to give up.

  • Ducks: $20,000 per week per player for the program “suggested” by the GM?

    Recently, we learned that the Anaheim Ducks have been lobbying for their players (including youngsters) to spend their summer in Florida with a certain Mike Barwis.
    Who is Mike Barwis? He’s a trainer who specializes in the physical and psychological training of professional athletes, and who has the confidence of Anaheim GM Pat Verbeek.
    Basically, the GM “suggested” that his players spend the summer in Florida to work with him. They say he suggests it because he can’t fo
  • Canadiens among NHL teams most affected by player deferred bonuses

    In the NHL, performance bonuses affect a club’s payroll.
    Basically, if a player is eligible for performance bonuses and receives at least one, it is added to the club’s payroll. And if the team can’t afford to add it to its payroll, it can add the amount in question to its payroll for the following year.
    So that puts off the problem.
    With Carey Price’s contract hanging over his head, the Habs are still at the maximum salary cap, forcing Kent Hughes to defer his bonuses.
  • Juraj Slafkovsky: worst first overall pick in the last ten years (according to Athletic)

    Drafting again a few years later is a hobby some people never get tired of. If we had it to do over again, Lane Hutson would probably be drafted in the top 15 and not at the end of the second round in 2022…
    If it were to happen again, the Canadiens would never have selected Louis Leblanc in the first round…
    You get the idea.

  • Mark Stone: Golden Knights have a knack for angering fans (of other teams)

    As you know, the Golden Knights play field hockey within the limits of the collective agreement.
    Every year for the past three years, the club’s captain has been injured just before the trade deadline. This creates space on the club’s payroll, and the club often looks for reinforcements.
    And curiously, he’s always ready to come back for the playoffs, when the payroll no longer exists. Microfracture or not, this guy shows up for the playoffs.

  • Patrick Roy: “Blocked shots are calculated by a guy sitting in a McDonald’s”.

    And how do you like the series so far?
    There’s a fair amount of action every night, which is interesting. And last night, as my colleague Raph Simard summed up earlier this morning, was no exception either.
    Every team (or just about every team) is still in the race, when you look at it.

    I say “or thereabouts” because even if the Islanders aren’t a game away from the end, you can sense that the club is fragile. That’s what happens when you give up

    Last night, there was plenty of action in the NHL.
    Four more series were presented, two of which were getting underway.
    Here are the results:

  • Mississauga: a mayoral candidate wants an NHL team

    With the Coyotes’ (hockey assets) move to Salt Lake City, there’s been a lot of talk of relocation and expansion in the hockey world in recent weeks. Obviously, this has brought Quebec City back into the discussion, but we know that the capital isn’t the only candidate either.
    Houston, Atlanta, Kansas City, back to Arizona and so on: it’s a busy time, as they say.
    And of course, just because a destination isn’t the talk of the town doesn’t mean it’s not
  • We could see a jersey very similar to that of the Habs in the NFL this season.

    Right now, the NFL is in the midst of its off-season. Later this week, the draft will take place (the first round is scheduled for Thursday evening), but there are still a few months to go before the season begins.
    Will Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs win a third consecutive Super Bowl? We’ll know in a few months.
    That said, as with every off-season, many teams are revamping their uniform wardrobes. The Broncos unveiled their new uniforms today, but other teams will follow suit.

  • Salt Lake City has a team in just three short months

    In recent weeks, the Coyotes’ move to Salt Lake City has moved at almost dizzying speed. Almost overnight, Gary Bettman’s baby saw its future in Arizona threatened… at a relocation announcement.
    Remember that “relocation” isn’t actually the right word (it’s the hockey assets that have been sold to Utah, but the Coyotes can return within five years and they retain their brand image), but in practice, the principle is much the same.

  • Michel Therrien would have tolerated the Triple Low Five if he had coached in 2024

    When you think of Carey Price and P.K. Subban, you think of two guys who had a great time in a Habs uniform. After all, both guys represented the core of the team a decade ago, and while they didn’t win the Stanley Cup in town, they came close in 2014 before Chris Kreider derailed the Tricolore’s plans.
    And on an individual level, both guys still won individual honors. They were among the league’s elite for a few years.

    Last year, the Canadiens drafted David Reinbacher fifth overall. The club once again improved its bank of defensive prospects, but more importantly, it got its hands on a player who seems to be a good kid.
    We’ve gotten to know him over the past year: he seems to be a bit reserved, but above all, he seems to be a kid without a shred of arrogance.
    In fact, his personality is a little different from that of Juraj Slafkovský, drafted a year earlier: the Slovak is a guy who seems at eas
  • The Ducks put pressure on their players to spend the summer in Florida

    NHL teams are well aware of the rules in place, but once in a while, some teams decide to bend the rules, and they often get caught.
    Such is the case with the Anaheim Ducks, who were caught “heavily pressuring” their players to spend the summer in Florida.
    Elliotte Friedman revealed this information on Saturday, in one of his 32 Thoughts.
    The first thing one wonders when hearing this information is: why Florida? Well, it’s because the players would have spent the summer with c

    After another season of finishing at the bottom of the NHL standings, the Canadiens don’t often have the luxury of talking about league peaks. They flirt with unglamorous heights like the most games missed by injured players, but this time it’s flattering.

    In 2023-2024, the Habs didn’t move up in the standings, but many of their players did. Of the lot? The first line, made up of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield and Josh Anderson Juraj Slafkovsky.
    The three youngsters have demonstrated their know-how.

    Yesterday, Michel Bergeron got angry. He claimed that Nick Suzuki had no reason to be tired, and that he had made the wrong decision in refusing to represent Canada at the World Championship.
    Naturally, his outburst caused quite a stir. After all, Nick Suzuki hasn’t missed a game since joining the NHL five years ago. And even though he hasn’t made the playoffs since 2021, there’s a reason he said no to Canada.

    Will Trevor Zegras be the forward in question? We don’t know.
    What we do know, of course, is that the rumours are out there. Whether it’s because of the potential fit , whether it’s because of the way he’s treated in California, whether it’s because of his connection to Cole Caufield or whether it&rsqu

    He had the opportunity to gain experience, and that’s important for next season, because we don’t necessarily expect him to return to junior.

    The Canadiens’ season is (finally) over. The club had a season that can indeed be described as “better than last year”, but one reality remains: the club was virtually eliminated from the playoffs once the famous holiday trip was over.
