Montreal Canadiens look for winning ways


In the Montreal Canadiens there is a difficult decision about whether to trade or rewrite Max Pacioretty. If they keep their captain, what would it cost?

Montreal Canadiens disappointed with 2017-18. Max Pacioretty, captain of the team, was also far from the best this season. The American winger has strengthened himself as one of the best scorers in the game, but has not helped this reputation in the last 12 months.


It all started with the fact that Pacioretty went down in last year's season. Canadiens entered the playoffs in 2017 with the opportunity to go on the run. They were on top of a weak Atlantic division and should not have encountered Tampa Bay Lightning, which surprisingly missed the playoffs.

Their rival in the first round will be the New York Rangers, a team of wildcards. If they can advance in the last round, they will take on either the Boston Bruins, or the Ottawa Senators, the two teams in which they dominated during the regular season.

Nevertheless, the Habs did not take advantage of their relatively easy route to the Eastern Conference final. Instead, they collapsed after taking the series 2-1 and lost to the Rangers in six hard-challenged games.

Most of the guilt fell on Pacioretty. It was difficult to do business against those who threw all the blame on the captain's way. In six games, the left winger held zero, scoring just one help in the series.

Montreal Canadiens Set Up For Their Best Draft Ever

Montreal Canadiens goes to the off-season with an abundance of sediment. This gives them the opportunity to create a franchise for the next decade. Montreal Canadiens suffered from a miserable season 2017-18. The victory in 29 games during the long 82nd game schedule is not ideal. In fact, the team only had twice less wins, dating back to the 1963 season. One of them was in 1994-1995, when the lockout reduced the NHL calendar to 48 games. Even in 2012-13, although they played 48 games, they were able to win 29 games. Hell, in the 1940s there were only 50 or 60 game schedules, but they could still win 30. Going out in first place in 29 of 82 games should not happen in the era of NHL parity. The bright side of horror in the NHL is that you are rewarded with the best choice in the NHL project. Montreal did not get the best choice, but should choose the third in the annual tournament. They are not only ranked third, but also general manager Mark Bergewin has been collecting fees for ...

Bouchard hiring could lead him to bigger things with Canadiens

On Thursday, Montreal Canadiens named coach Lauel Raul, his partner of the American Hockey League, Joel Buschar. The 44-year-old Bouchard is doing well in Sylvain Lefevre, who was fired at the end of the regular season after six years of work. It was also announced that the assistants of Lefevre Donald Dufreve and Nick Carrier will not return. Bouchard left as co-owner, president, general manager and coach of the Blaineville-Boisbrand Armada of the Quebec Majors of the Junior Hockey League to accept a missile work that one day could lead to coaching or management work with the NHL club.

The Canadiens are in position to have their best draft haul in years

As the playoffs of the National Hockey League continue, and the teams are playing to raise the venerable Stanley Cup, the iconic Montreal Canadiens are planning next season. The team with most of the Stanley Cup championships in the history of the NHL - 24 - Montreal did not even claim the playoffs in what was a disaster of the 2017-2018 season for the Canadiens. As fans in Montreal are surprised that it did not go so late with their favorite team, just like the supporters of Canadiens in Sault Ste. Marie - including the self-proclaimed no. 1 fanatic Habs, the legend of local radio Lou Turco. It's been a while since Montreal won its last Stanley Cup. It would have been in 1993, when the Canadiens, supported by the goal of the play-off of the most valuable player Patrick Roy, won three overtime games to drive out the "Los Angeles Kings" in the Stanley Cup finals.
