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: Ranking Who Habs Fans Should Cheer For

OHL's playoffs finally ended, and the Montreal Canadiens Vista Will Bite along with his Hamilton Bulldogs is the team on the top. Four series and 16 wins - all you need to win the championship. To say this is so that the journey sounds so simple, but it's far from the case. However, despite several hits on the road, Hamilton's Bulldogs made it easy. Now they, and, most importantly, the Montreal Canadiens, the nickname Will Bitten are the champions of the OHL. Many thought that Hamilton would fight on the way to the finals, especially in the second round. But they adhered to the game plan and continued to perform. Whenever they found themselves on the other side of the victory, the team quickly assembled and responded well. Their difficult task appeared in their series against Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds (no duh), as they were ardent outsiders.

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.
