#Habs Nick Suzuki on internal growth "We're happy with who we got, how far we went, and what we believe we can do with our team. Internally, guys are getting better. There's been a lot of work put in through the summer, and we expect some of our younger guys to take a step and help." #GoHabsGo

#Habs Geoff Molson on upcoming season "They're going to continue building on what they learned last year. It was the same thing the year before: we managed to make the playoffs, just one round, and this year provided great experiences. I have no doubt the players will show up ready" #GoHabsGo

#Habs Nick Suzuki on Xhekaj & Bolduc via TVA "Both are really important players. Zack had a good year. He took steps throughout the season and into the playoffs. Obviously, Arber is an important piece for our locker room and on the ice. Hopefully both guys can get (contract) done." #GoHabsGo #NHL

#Habs Geoff Molson on fan excitement via RDS "Our fans are even prouder now than ever. When I run into them on the street, it's a lot of 'thanks for the good team,' 'we're very proud of the team,' and 'we're really looking forward to the upcoming season.' It's very positive." #GoHabsGo #NHL

#Habs Geoff Molson on Martin St. Louis' contract status via RDS "He has one year left on his contract. He's a coach we like a lot, and it's part of the plan to keep him with us long-term." #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey

#Habs Geoff Molson on Arber Xhekaj and Zachary Bolduc contract talks via RDS "We always look forward to settling contract situations with key players. I have no doubt it will get resolved. Am I worried? No." (Translated from French) #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey

#Habs Rewind - May 27, 2026 Before Game 4 vs #Hurricanes, Josh Anderson on Brendan Gallagher: "It's a tough situation for him, but he's been nothing but a great teammate for every guy in that locker room. He's just putting in the work and being ready to play when his name is called." #GoHabsGo

Just published a new piece for @RocketSports.bsky.social Decisions in net for the #Habs. Read it at @HockeyHotStove.bsky.social ⬇️ hockeyhotstove.com/canadiens-no... #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey

#Habs Rewind - Nov 27, 2025 MSL on Xhekaj’s role. At that point, he had played 20 of 22 games, averaging 11:40 ice time. "He needs to continue giving quality with the quantity he has. We know he can play more minutes but there's defencemen in front of him in bigger chairs" #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey

#Habs Rewind - May 16, 2026 Martin St. Louis after the 8-3 loss vs #Sabres that forced a Game 7: "It's loud, there's a lot of chaos, and tonight we didn't see things clearly through that chaos. We are better than that. It wasn't a good game for us." #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey

#Habs Rewind - Apr 8, 2026 Brendan Gallagher on being a healthy scratch. "I am comfortable with what I bring to this group. If my number is called, I know I can contribute. If not, you just have to be a good teammate, and that is it" Since then he played four games & scored twice. #GoHabsGo

#Habs Philip Danault on little roster changes "This year showed what we were missing & Kent & Gorton aren't afraid to start season like this. It was the youngest team, so the experience gained is incredible. It doesn't scare me to start the season, even if we're missing a piece or 2" #GoHabsGo

#Habs Philip Danault on the rebuild "Still haven't won the Stanley Cup, but we're close. It's one step at a time, you can't put that kind of pressure either. Only one team wins. Management is doing a great job. It's simply a matter of everything coming together at the right time." #GoHabsGo #NHL

#Habs Zachary Bolduc on his role with MTL (via RDS) "You always want a bigger role, more responsibility, and more ice time, but those are all things you have to earn. It'll be up to me to show up to camp and prove that I can help this team when I'm out on the ice, earn my minutes" #GoHabsGo #NHL

#Habs Zachary Bolduc on future in MTL (via RDS) "I'd love to play in Montreal for several seasons. But on the other hand, management has to make their own decisions too. Like I said, I'm not going to get ahead of myself on anything, but I trust my agent on that end and I'm confident" #GoHabsGo

My newest story for @RocketSports.bsky.social asks: Is Michael Hage the solution? Catch it on @HockeyHotStove.bsky.social ⬇️ hockeyhotstove.com/canadiens-no... #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey

#Habs Jakub Dobes to TVA Sports on arriving in MTL early "At the end of the year you're tired of hockey, but after a one- or two-week break you want to jump right back in. We love playing and just want to be in Montreal. I always arrive early because I enjoy it, and many guys do too." #GoHabsGo

#Habs Jakub Dobes told TVA Sports about his summer (Aug 1): "It's great. I just got back to Montreal. I'm kind of missing hockey a little bit, so it's good. It's pretty simple: working out and preparing for next year. Today I had a little extra time to learn how to play some tennis" #GoHabsGo

#Habs Rewind - May 9, 2026 Ahead of Game 3 vs the #Sabres, Martin St. Louis on Cole Caufield (1G, 3A in 9 games): "These first two games, Cole has looked more like Cole. He's doing a lot while still competing and staying inside our defensive structure. He's engaged, cares about winning" #GoHabsGo

#Habs Rewind - Dec 23, 2025 Philip Danault opened up about his year with #Kings. "I felt like I had no purpose and that I couldn't bring anything to the team with what I had. I felt helpless and not important" With MTL he recorded 12 pts in 45 games & 10 pts in 19 playoff contests. #GoHabsGo

#Habs Rewind - May 12, 2026 Arber Xhekaj after Game 3 vs. #Sabres — fined for punching Carrick & Malenstyn fined for goalie interference. "We didn't like some of the things they did. They ran Dobes and they were throwing punches in every scrum. At some point, you have to push back" #GoHabsGo

#Habs Rewind - May 16, 2026 Martin St. Louis, before Game 6 vs. #Sabres, on the mental approach: "If you spend so much time telling them how important it is, you raise the level of stress. It's just another game. Let's go play." That night BUF won 8-3 to force Game 7. #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey

With rumours about #NHL expansion ramping up, I slipped into Kent Hughes' shoes and simulated the #Habs protection list as if it was due TODAY. Read my piece for @RocketSports.bsky.social at @HockeyHotStove.bsky.social and drop your take ⬇️ hockeyhotstove.com/simulating-m... #GoHabsGo #NHL

#Habs Rewind - Jan 17, 2026 Juraj Slafkovsky tipped Lane Hutson's shot to make it a one-goal with 4:24 remaining in the third period. MTL tied it and ended up with 6-5 OT win vs #Senators in Ottawa. #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey

#Habs Rewind - Jan 17, 2026 Cole Caufield scores OT winner for the 6-5 win vs #Senators in Ottawa. MTL trailed 5-3 with 4:24 remaining in 3rd period. #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey

#Habs Rewind - Apr 25, 2026 MSL on Xhekaj’s ice time before GM 4 vs TB, 10:15 over 3 games. "When he entered the league, we weren’t deep & we had 5 rookies on defense[...] Now, with all the defensemen we have, he’s realistic but also a competitor, so it’s normal that he wants more" #GoHabsGo

#Habs Rewind - Apr 7, 2026 Down by one in the final minute vs. the #Panthers, Lane Hutson drew the goalie out of position and set up Nick Suzuki for the equalizer. MTL prevailed 4-3 in the shootout. #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey

#Habs Rewind - May 11, 2026 #Sabres early complaints made officiating a storyline when Martin St. Louis spoke to media "They have a hard job; there's conversation after & they try to get it right. I feel they've done a pretty good job[..] For me, complaining doesn't get you anywhere." #GoHabsGo

#Habs Rewind - May 27, 2026 MSL on Demidov who had 7 pts in 8 games while averaging 17:17 "He's owning pucks not just in the O-zone, but in the defensive zone, too. He's winning a lot of pucks back. He plays with a lot of flash, but some of the stuff you can't measure, he's doing it." #GoHabsGo

#Habs Rewind - Apr 30, 2026 Martin St. Louis addressed why he trimmed Caufield’s (3:24) and Demidov’s (1:50) minutes in the third period of Game 5's win vs. TB "Others were bringing more to the table at that specific time; we didn't need goals from Caufield or Demidov" #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey
