David Ettedgui: If healthy, Arber Xhekaj must be with the Habs for the next 10 years

It’s hard to say much about Arber Xhekaj’s potential. Why is that? Because the sample size is small. We know that he doesn’t hesitate before throwing down the gloves and that he brings a physical dimension to the Habs line-up, but we’re still talking about an undrafted guy who has only played 95 games in the National League.

Mishkov: 'It’s a shame Demidov isn’t a Flyers player'.

Matvei Michkov’s name will always be associated with the Canadiens. Always! He wasn’t drafted by the Habs in 2023, even though he was still available. And at the time, David Reinbacher’s selection wasn’t the most popular in town because Habs fans knew the possibility of drafting Michkov was on the table.

It was the GM’s assistant – not Jean Perron – who made certain important decisions in the locker room.

Last week was the start of the new radio season in Montreal. I used the word sur – and not à – in an attempt to be Parisian. It seems I’ll never get used to being on a city, not in a city (or somewhere).
