i think at some point you need to ask if the habs front office is a bunch of geniuses you all claim they are - then why does their team always suck?

Canadiens have 2 regulation losses across last 13 games played.
​Their record in that span is 9–2–2.

Since taking over prior to the 2021–22 season, the management duo of Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes has overseen a steady climb in the Montreal Canadiens' performance. The team finished their inaugural 2021–22 campaign with a .335 points percentage, which improved to .415 in 2022–23 and reached .463 during the 2023–24 season. The upward trend accelerated significantly in 2024–25 as the team posted a .555 mark, and for the current 2025–26 season, the Canadiens are playing at a high level with a .628 points percentage.


​Would you like me to look up the team's current standing in the Atlantic Division?

Ok google who is the youngest team to ever make the nhl playoffs?

The 2024–25 Montreal Canadiens are the youngest team to ever make the NHL playoffs, finishing the season with an average age of 25.95 years.
​

Ok google what is your name and what do you call me?

Your name is Clint, and mine is Gemini.

I used to be James Bond since she is British...

250 Stitches and this was a consecutive streak as well with playoffs 540+ games

Clint, the Montreal Canadiens currently boast one of the most envied prospect pools in the NHL, characterized by elite high-end talent and exceptional depth across all positions. At the forefront is Ivan Demidov, a dynamic offensive force often considered the system's "crown jewel," alongside Michael Hage, who has seen his stock skyrocket following an electric start at the University of Michigan. The blue line is anchored by 2023 fifth-overall pick David Reinbacher and the smooth-skating Adam Engström, while Jacob Fowler has emerged as a potential franchise goaltender with stellar numbers in his transition to the professional level. With a balanced mix of "safe" NHL projects like Owen Beck and high-upside gambles like Bryce Pickford, the pool is designed to sustain the team's current youth movement and provides management with significant flexibility for future trades or roster graduations.
​Would you like a more detailed scouting report on one of these specific player?

Bryce Pickford is currently having a historic season for the Medicine Hat Tigers, leading all WHL defensemen in goals and challenging the all-time league record for goals by a blueliner in a single season. The "Z" prospect you're referring to is Alexander Zharovsky, whom the Canadiens drafted 34th overall in the 2025 second round after trading up. He is playing for Salavat Yulaev Ufa in Russia and recently helped his team win a KHL 3x3 championship while remaining a high-upside offensive project.
​Would you like to see a list of the draft picks Montreal traded to move up for Zharovsky?

​Michael Hage (Michigan/NCAA Stats)
​Hage is having a dominant sophomore season at Michigan and is currently a top-10 scorer in the NCAA.
​Games Played: 20
​Goals: 10
​Assists: 18
​Total Points: 28
​NCAA Ranking: Tied for 6th overall in national scoring.
​He also just finished a historic performance at the 2026 World Junior Championship, where he led the entire tournament in scoring with 15 points (2G, 13A) in 7 games and was named a Media All-Star.
​Would you like to see a full game-by-game breakdown of Michael Hage's recent hot streak?

Have you watched hockey from the 60s? Or know how stick curve changed the game? I stand by my statement that I don't want to minimize his accomplishments, but it's not as impressive as it sounds. Ian Laperriere had ~75+ stitches from one puck to the face and he wasn't a goalie.

Oh, he returned to the game.

A lot of guys would immediately ask for that game by game breakdown but Clint keeps it chill.

please stop with all the ai slop word bombs

new front office. they started 4 years ago. rebuild is ahead of schedule. everyone is pleased.

also don't think they've always sucked. they've certainly had rough patches, but have made some fun runs. i think we have the most playoff wins since 2000 (arbitrary date, i know - pick any of your choosing) of all canadian franchises.

COWAN!!!!

The fact free hot takes of "Monty sucks" dump him now...then of course the habs always suck why their GMs even have jobs was the nail in the coffin, but I'm done.

Bergevin was historically bad and has only been fired for 4 years. Habs were saddled with some horrible contracts and rebuilds take time.

They are the youngest team in the NHL yet leading their division.

Even if they were gonna roll with the young core group of Suzuki, Caufield, Demigod, Hutson, Slaf, 2 promising goalies, and no prospect pool, the future would be very bright, but on top of that they also have a full stocked prospect pool.

This young core is looking great and their prospect pool is also rated #2 by DailyFaceoff.

It doesn't seem too difficult to figure out.

Ah the Ottawa "Cheat"as

Wild Rumor

Based on the language in the press release which is wild…I believe the rumors.

Be interesting to see if Ullmark has an NHL future after this.

Yes the Steve Staois press release basically confirms it's true.

lol staios streisanding this thing by feeding the "trolls" instead of just no commenting and doing whatever behind closed doors gjge

Thanks for posting the meat of the article. That seems to be a lost art on this forum.

Always liked Danault. Think the Kings had outsized expectations. Good pickup

rag$ lookin good, having a normal one, etc

Still have no clue as to why the USA left Jason Robertson of the Olympic Team.

They just flashed his stats. 53 points in 44 games so far this season.

Him and Sam Bennett on Canada you have to shake your head on

Speed isn't everything but I did see a stat that he was bottom 1% in speed something (advanced stats) on the season, which is crazy.

He may be slow and I'm certainly no expert on analytics, but he's 3rd in XG% behind McDavid and MacKennon. Maybe his stick skills around the net make up for his slothiness.

You hate to see it! A Leafs shutout win!
