My column on the Leafs, the Habs and an astonishing 45-point swing between them in a single season.

Another great one Jack ! Dead on , Captain Nick leads by example, and is one of the best in the league at his craft.
My Saturday column and a scary thought: where would Cole Caufield (and the Canadiens as a team) be today if Dominique Ducharme had remained as coach and Caufield was stuck in the Ducharme's doghouse?

Thanks, Jack. I really feel that this is why things are going so well and will continue to do so.
“The Canadiens are careful about the character of the players they draft, more cautious still with those they sign”
Another great article, thank you !
Something special, this team.
Throw 'em down, they bounce like a rubber ball.
#Habs
Classic trap game tonight.
Predators have clawed their way into a wild-card spot. No more slow starts: Habs need to come out of the gate like the fat lady at the bake sale, destroying everything in sight.

Gosh, is it possible that the non-reaction of the other 4 Leafs on the ice when Radko Gudas laid that hit on Auston Matthews had to do with the way they feel about Captain Underpants?
Can you imagine 4 Habs behaving like that if Suzuki took that hit? And the first to fight him would be Lane Hutson.
Nope...let him develop properly in Laval. Canadiens need to improve their defensive structure and simply bringing up Fowler will not fix that.

Boycott the brands backing the Trump regime. Start with Whole Foods, Dasani, Goya, Minute Maid as well as the corporate donors like them who bankroll authoritarianism. Our money is power. Spend it with companies that don't fund cruelty, corruption, or chaos.
Hilarious, Bo Bichette signing with the Mets.
He and the Mets deserve each other. Overpriced, overrated, under-performing.
And the Blue Jays lose a guy they wanted for some reason. Bonus.
right on the mark, and the Habs obviously agree :-)
My column:
After two decades of Trevor Timmins imposed mediocrity, the Canadiens are showing that it is indeed possible to find draft gems in unusual places.

Thank you Jack, Neil here. Love your articles, been reading them for years. The best to you and family ! Go Habs !
That was a wonderful article Mr. Todd , totally agree. To see how far this team has come in such a short time is incredible. Loved MSL as a player , love him as our coach.
Luc is posting exclusively here and is not a Twitter guy anymore closing his massive account there.
He covers practices for RDS. Is a daily reporter with breaking news many days.
He’s a must follow Habs fans. Get on it.
Ha! I love the headline on the press release. "Canadiens acquire Gannon Larocque." No mention in the headline of the player going the other way in the deal. Some dude named Carey Price.
And the Sharks get a fifth round draft pick out of the deal.
Kent Hughes: once again, we salute you.
McKenzie is cool. Liked and respected everywhere.
No bullshit. I attribute it to the fact that he started in newspapers at the Star. He always had his facts in a row.
And he beat all of Montreal on George Gillett Jr. buying the Canadiens.
It's a privilege for the Canadiens to be coached by Martin St. Louis.
Absolutely
Buying him out make no sense .. Hugo would never even consider that. He can be traded in the offseason or at the deadline , if they decide his services are no longer required.
Yea, but we really don't know the extent of his injuries. A healthy Laine , with Demidov and a new centre for the second line .. we can't just not give this a try if the opportunity is there
It’s a lot more fun to believe even if it fucking sucks to see them get bounced. Be mad, be disappointed - you’re allowed to! We can be all unicorns and rainbows tomorrow thinking about the future.
This is an awesome learning experience for the guys. Imagine a big #2 centre next year , and another year experience .. This team is going to be a power house
Habs losing the puck luck battle and the goalie battle. Losing the finish around the net battle too.
Losing the cross checks to the face battle. Losing the late hits battle as well.
Better fans though!!!! These ones are having a nice nap tonight with their team on the verge of a series win.
I didn't have them a lottery team, but I didn't have them a playoff team either. This is incredible ! Can't say enough good things about this team!
The bottom line is that Poilievre and his pretentions must be destroyed. He is such a danger to Canada. If necessary, I would vote for Youppi, Montreal Canadiens mascot, if I had to in order to crush Poilievre! However, we are lucky that Carney the knowledge and experience we need.
