On Tuesday, Carey Price was named the 2015 Lou Marsh Award winner. The award is voted on by a group of Canadian journalists and is handed out annually to Canada’s best athlete, amateur or professional. This is the first time that Price has received this honour.
It was a tough week at the office for the Habs who twice blew third period leads to divisional rivals. It was an even tougher week for Alex Semin who now finds himself out of the NHL. My Final Thought discusses what Montreal should do to fill his now-vacated spot on the roster.
The Habs went into play on Saturday night looking to snap a season-long winless streak. They came out with one of their best starts of the season and rode that to a 3-1 victory over Ottawa.
HabsWorld hosts Norm Szcyrek, Jonathan Rebelo and Paul Macleod suffered from deja vu, talking about the Carey Price re-injury and its impact on the Habs, as well as the impact of the Brendan Gallagher & other Habs injuries.
November marked the first month without the services of Carey Price (for the most part), and HabsWorld readers were forced to cast their votes elsewhere for the first time in a very long time. As a result, we have a new reigning champion; here are the 3 HW Stars for November 2015.
Alexander Semin’s time with the Montreal Canadiens is about to come to an end. After clearing regular waivers Tuesday, he was placed on unconditional waivers, paving the way for his release on Thursday.
Alexander Semin’s days with the Canadiens appear to be over. The Habs placed him on waivers Monday which also signals that he has been activated off injured reserve.
It was a tough week for the Habs as their offence struggled en route to just a single win out of three games. In St. John’s, their offence has also dried up but they fared a bit better. Plus, what’s next for Jarred Tinordi?
The good news for Michael Bournival is that he’s ready to return to action. The bad news is that his return won’t be with the Canadiens as he cleared waivers on Thursday and has been assigned to St. John’s of the AHL.
Despite missing the NHL’s reigning MVP for the vast majority of the month, the Montreal Canadiens maintained their elite positioning atop the standings, going 8-2-3 in November. Much has been made about Montreal’s depth this season, and with key injuries surfacing, it has been unlikely candidates making significant contributions to November’s successes on various nights.
