Happy Thanksgiving, Habs fans.
The extension Lane Hutson signed on Monday gives him and the Canadiens the best chance at what they want most: multiple chances to win together.

If Mike Matheson keeps playing like he has to start the season, the defenceman becomes indispensable to the Canadiens. While his teammates have delivered some game-breaking players, Matheson's efforts...

Je savais à quel point vous supporterez toujours l’effort d’un anglophone qui essai de se débrouiller en français, mais vous me motivez à pratiquer pour maîtriser la langue. Peut-être que je n’arriverai jamais, mais j’espère m’améliorer au fil des prochains mois. Merci encore !!

Lane Hutson was offered more but signed for less. He bought himself security and bought the Habs a bit more room to continue building a championship-caliber team. He wants to win.
He could’ve held out for more and could’ve waited much longer.
Not doing that says a lot about him

Martin St. Louis stressed urgency right from the start. It’s why he shouldn’t wait to fix Montreal’s power play www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...
Canadiens return from opening trip with wins banked and a power play to fix
Not to nitpick after the Canadiens emerged from their building-opening tour through Toronto, Detroit and Chicago having earned two regulation wins, but Martin St. Louis might want to make some changes...

On the strength of the Canadiens’ collective game and how it’s helped the integration of their newcomers 👇🏻 www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...
New Canadiens fitting in seamlessly after first win
Zachary Bolduc, Oliver Kapanen, Noah Dobson and Ivan Demidov are all integrating quickly into the Canadiens system. It's a credit to those who were already here for helping them fit in.

Originally thought Habs would go 13-7 and waive Blais. Talked about it with @martinlemay.bsky.social on Le Retour Thurs.
Last night’s game had me think maybe they’d hold Blais through the first three games (in four nights on the road and with Bolduc day-to-day).
Assume Bolduc will be ready

Joe Veleno's attention to detail earns him roster spot with Canadiens
Joe Veleno came to Canadiens camp having to grab a lifeline to pull himself up, and the way he managed to do that was by doing exactly what the game asked of him each time he stepped on the ice.
