The Habs have had some good moves and some bad ones in recent years. Appointing a President of Hockey Operations should help ensure that the good outweighs the bad.

Following a disappointing loss to Arizona on Monday, the Habs weren’t able to get back on track on Wednesday night as they fell 4-1 to the Bruins while receiving some tough news on the injury front as well.

The Habs had their three-game win streak snapped on Monday night as the Coyotes completed a 55-minute comeback to beat the Habs 3-2 after the Habs scored twice in the first two minutes.

While Montreal’s postseason prospects are still minimal, they’re not going down without a fight after they picked up three wins in as many games to make up a bit of ground in the standings.

The Montreal Canadiens found themselves in their most important game of the season in a classic Saturday night matchup against Toronto. Marco Scandella tied the game late and Ilya Kovalchuk sent the Bell Centre crowd home happy with the OT winner as the Habs took it 2-1.

As the virus infected Habs took on the much more physical Ducks, they knew they had to rely on speed to get the win on Thursday night. They ultimately relied on Nick Suzuki and Brenden Gallagher to spark the offense as they skated away with a 3-2 shootout victory setting the stage for a key game on Saturday against the Leafs.

It wasn’t pretty but the Habs managed a 5-4 come from behind victory over the Devils that required a shootout to get done. It was the type of game and effort (inconsistent) that perfectly displayed why the Habs are on the outside looking in as of now.

The Habs had a busy first week after the All-Star break and while they managed to pick up a pair of victories, they certainly left some points on the table as well.

The Montreal Canadiens continued their big weekend with a game against the red-hot Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday afternoon. The Habs were unable to overcome some unlucky breaks in this one, as they dropped the game 4-3 in regulation.
