The Canadiens have finally tasted victory. It’s the first time the Habs have won a game since October 27!We’ll be honest, it was far from a perfect game, but under the circumstances, we weren’t going to spit on it. Most importantly, the Habs’ forwards finally got their touch back. Just look at the number of points scored by all the team’s forwards on Monday. Having six forwards with at least two points in the same game is literally candy.

Before he was traded to Montreal, Shea Weber was the leader of his club in Nashville. He had played every game of his career in a Predators uniform and was also the club captain. Weber thus developed a sense of belonging to the Preds, which is normal. That’s why, in the summer of 2016, when he was acquired by the Montreal Canadiens, Weber had a hard time swallowing the deal.

On Monday lunchtime, a rumour surfaced that the Canadiens had met with Gerard Gallant. The rumor mill is in full swing in Montreal, so much so that Kent Hughes was forced to comment on the situation before the Habs game. The Canadiens’ general manager completely denied having met Gallant, saying he had never spoken to him. The Canadiens were playing an afternoon game in which they managed to end a six-game losing streak.

Trevor Zegras falls into the prestigious “forever linked to the Canadiens” category in the rumour mill. Wayne Simmons, Jaromir Jagr and Pierre-Luc Dubois are also on the list. I could name 1,000 others, but I have a life to live. Of course, there’s no telling whether Zegras will end up playing for the Canadiens. That said, the more time passes, the greater the chance that he’ll leave Anaheim one day. If that’s the case, it’s logical to assume that the Habs will want to take a chance.

Yesterday, the Canadiens put Alex Barré-Boulet up for a waivers vote. At 2 p.m. this afternoon, we’ll find out if he’s found a buyer elsewhere in the NHL or if he’ll have to report to the Laval Rocket. Expect him to go to Laval. When asked about this today, Martin St-Louis sounded like a guy who knew ABB was going to Laval. The coach also added that it takes more than 23 guys to get through a season, and that the Québécois was going to be useful this year.
