Montreal Canadiens analysis through cap structure, timelines & dynasty probability. Long view > panic moves. Contributor @TheHockeyWriters New on Bluesky, so give me a follow. I also play drums in a tribute to Radiohead called Street Spirit.
Not surprising.
The Habs have recalled Jacob Fowler from Laval.
Thoughts? π€
The Call Of The Wilde focuses on some chemistry developing on the top three lines. Also, itβs time for David Reinbacher and why.

MONTREAL CANADIENS
Canadiens Beat Maple Leafs & Lane Hutson Is Changing How NHL Defenders Read the Game & Who Was Mystery Deadline Target?
Also, what's next for Canadiens' Patrik Laine and west coast swing.
I can't wait to find out who will be in net tomorrow night.
Most assists by a defenseman in NHL history within their first 150 NHL games:
1) Lane Hutson: 116 assists
2) Sergei Zubov: 115 assists
3) Cale Makar: 112 assists
MSL says Cole Caufield was not feeling well and heβs supposed to go to Ottawa with the team.
Evans named gameβs first star. Iβm good with that.
At least Detroit lost and Pitt looks like they will lose as well.
Really great effort by Matheson on Evansβ goal.
Evans finally gets one. The empty net definitely helped. 3-1 Montreal.
That hand pass call was at best, a guessβ¦
I think Anderson clipped Wollβs mask on that last one too.
Dobsonβs, not as much.
I like Danaultβs game tonight.
Leafs are aiming for DobeΕ‘βs glove. Habs are aiming for Wollβs face.
Another Evans opportunity missed.
Kapanenβs 20th goal made him 250K richer.
Cole is testing things out but he doesnβt look comfortable.
Habs need the 2 points tonight. Buffalo, Detroit and Columbus are winning their games and Boston is tied.
Caufield looks like he might be injured. Didnβt play much in the second. Hopefully itβs nothing serious.
Not a great second period from Montreal. Leafs have the momentum and a goal to make it 2-1.
Are the Leafs aiming for inside DobeΕ‘βs glove?
DobeΕ‘ with a good glove tonight.
Bolduc could really use a goal tonight. He hasnβt scored since Dec. 23rd.
Kapanen is playing one of his best games of the season. Caveat: Toronto seems somewhat checked out.
Habs need to keep pressing. Shots are only 3-2 this period for MTL.
Solid kill from Montreal.
2-0 Montreal after 1. Shots 18-5 for MTL.
Gally drops the gloves! He was still pissed at Anderson for hitting him with the dump in.
