The biggest failure of Marc Bergevin’s tenure was not putting a talented enough team around the best goalie of the last 15 years. Wasted his incredible prime. This does feel like the unfortunate end of the best Habs player I’ve seen
#Habs
#TSN690
Shea Weber signed an offer sheet with the Flyers. Was he a bad teammate? Did he want out of Nashville? No. Instead, he’s recognized as one of the greatest leaders of his generation. Please stop with the KK revenge hysteria. The kid just wants to get paid
#GoHabsGo
forward Mathieu Perreault says he didn’t know GM Marc Bergevin spoke yesterday. Says he has three young kids at home. “I can tell you what happened on Paw Patrol.”
Win, lose or draw, Nottingham Forest are one of the most exciting teams in the PL week after week! If you're a neutral looking for a team to support, they're a great pick. Back in the Premier League for the first time since 1999. Giving serious Leeds in 2020 vibes

Habs get out from LTIR hell and acquire a player on an expiring contract who will almost certainly be flipped for assets at the trade deadline. Another move that seems to be solid in both the short and the long-term by Kent Hughes

It’s hard to put into words just how incredible the last twenty minutes just were at the Bell Centre. An emotional explosion from the best fans in sports. RIP Guy

The Canadiens have displayed the exact same issues for the better part of three weeks with a week off in between and nothing has changed. It's on the coaching staff to fix problems and they haven't. It's really that simple
The Habs player who seems to be enjoying Joel Edmundson’s return to full practice the most this morning? Jonathan Drouin. He and the big defenceman have been yucking it up the entire skate

Honestly, who had Arturri Lehkonen as the best trade deadline pick up on March 22nd?
Goes down as a Cup winning goal scorer!
What a worker. What a run

#CFMTL
assistant sporting director Vasili Cremanzidis told us on air this afternoon that the team is expecting to bring in four or five new players between now and the start of the season
#TSN690
Don't jump on Jonathan Drouin here. He dealt with insomnia and anxiety issues that cost him half a season last year. He's well within his rights to make sure that he is healthy after a scary head injury
Dominique Ducharme est confiant de voir Jonathan Drouin en uniforme mardi face aux Rangers. Il a reçu le feu vert des médecins et il jouera quand il se sentira personnellement à l’aise.

So stupid. Nowhere else does this happen except for here. You think the elected officials of Manchester, Liverpool, Barcelona, Madrid, Munich etc talk this much about their sports team’s cultural identities? Shut up and do your job. FFS

waiting out the decision on Jesperi Kotkaniemi. The Canadiens have until around 5 o'clock to decide whether to keep him or let him go. We'll have coverage as soon as the announcement happens. So, how are you feeling Habs nation?

The big news: All of my Habs post-game match reports will now officially be on
@TSN690
.ca! Check them out here every morning after at . Here's last night's first of many. Cheers to all of you for reading and continuing to do so!
As of today, going into next season, the Habs roster will cost $67.8 million with only Xhekaj as a pressing contract that must be dealt with (RFA)
That's nearly $20 million in cap space for Kent Hughes to work with this summer
What should he do with it?
#TSN690
#GoHabsGo
It’s early on but after what Chris Wideman called one of their best practices of the year yesterday, the intensity and speed at Canadiens practice has carried over to today as they try to win consecutive games for the first time this season tomorrow night
#Habs
The Montreal Canadiens are down 4-3 to the Boston Bruins, coming back in the third period of their 79th game of the season… On the night they honour Guy Lafleur, skating rather gingerly down the right side… Can’t make it up
#GoHabsGo

#GuyGuyGuy
To put it simply, Habs fans have to be proud of their team again. The battle level has been great since St. Louis took over. Spectacular tonight
#GoHabsGo
#TSN690
Never mind the hit itself, which looked incredibly dirty. Scheifele was running around like a pissed off teenager the entire third period. He lost his head 15 minutes earlier and then does that. Certainly suspension worthy
#TSN690
Darche, yes. Madden Jr., yes. Briere, no. Unless you want to convince free agents not to come here in their prime but rather join when they’re over the hill to live out out some childhood fantasy of wearing the CH.
Because that’s what he did.
Salut la visite

Excited to say that my Habs post game reports will now also be featured on the CTV Montreal website. Thanks to the folks

Happy 20th anniversary to my home,

. I’ve only been here for a quarter of it but to have gone from a listener to a part of such a talented crew has been a dream come true. Special thanks goes out to all of you who tune in and make the job such a fun experience! 🍻🥂🥳🎉
My two cents on the Kotkaniemi disallowed goal: If the puck is loose and the whistle isn't blown, when is it considered frozen? This determination by the refs effectively kills the play without the goaltender having frozen it. Not a fan whatsoever
Hey Habs fans!!! Apart from producing Habs broadcasts throughout the season on
@TSN690

I'm not saying Chara slewfooted Svechnikov. I'm also not saying that the man has been involved in questionable hits that have led to serious injuries for years and the last time he was suspended was 2005... Also Jack Edwards, once again, shut up
The ref made a mistake and didn’t blow the whistle
But tell me how that puck isn’t frozen. The puck doesn’t move at all under Bobrovsky until he gets up
Not to mention the Leafs players celebrating
The play is dead
Move on
“I heard about the news today and how you did it, how you’re going out. Much respect.” - Martin St. Louis to Pat Hickey, who told The Gazette today he would take a voluntary retirement to save the job of a younger colleague. Much respect indeed.

updates here from Pierre
- Calgary still interested in Ben Chiarot; Habs really want Jakob Pelletier
- Capitals among several teams interested in Lehkonen; Canadiens want a first in return as they really like the player

Rumblings blog !
Took a whirl around the NHL with next Monday's trade deadline approaching. We check in on Chychrun, Lindholm, Chiarot, Hertl, Manson, Lehkonen, Braun plus more:
The Canadiens have agreed to terms with forward Tyler Toffoli on a four-year contract (until 2023-24). The deal has an average annual value of $4.25 million.
Details to come.

Game on. Head coach Dominique Ducharme seems to indicate the club had discussions about the league about the merit of playing today's game but the NHL has given the team the green light to play. Frankly ridiculous
#GoHabsGo
Don’t think I’ve seen a refereeing crew so predictably lose control of a game as they are doing tonight. You could’ve called this happening ten minutes into the game
So if Ryan Poehling had expectations raised to an impossible level after a hat trick in a meaningless game, how about your first two NHL goals being OT GWG’s to all but secure a playoff spot? And the latest one against the Leafs. To you, Mr. Caufield
