My column on the Habs at the break.

Todd: High-octane Canadiens light afterburner on rebuild
Highlight-reel Habs have lost games they should have won, but they've been consistently tough against the toughest opposition in the NHL.

The Canadiens sputtered and choked on their way to the 4 Nations break a year ago, but they just charged through some of the best teams in the NHL to get to this break because, as Martin St. Louis said, they're "not the same team."

Canadiens' chase to Olympic break proves readiness for playoff push
If we're to take anything from the way the Canadiens played in the lead-up to the Olympic break, it's that they'll be ready for the real fun when NHL hockey resumes.

The Canadiens head into the break with yet another win.

Hutson, Dach, Montembeault some of the worthy to comment on, and the overall success is impressive too.

Also the trading deadline and plans for Laine.

The Montreal Canadiens have played 57 times and have lost in regulation only 17 games. As Brian Wilde explains, that's huge, and was on display against the Jets.

The Canadiens are a season high 14 games over NHL .500 after a huge comeback in Buffalo.

The Wilde Cards are the trading history of HuGo leading to a shocking reveal on who could be next.

It can’t go much better than that. The league’s best gets dominated by the Canadiens who put 7 on the board. The Wilde Cards is my view on the goalie coach being fired.

This COTW goes where I wish I didn’t have to but it must be done.

The Canadiens were strong in Boston but fell apart in the third.

Also, why to temper expectations this season is the Wilde Cards. All for Global Montreal.

The Canadiens were sloppy which had to be addressed in the Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal, but for more cheery feelings the Wilde Cards is an attempt to assess what 2026 may look like on the forward depth chart.

My glass is most definitely half full. These are the lessons that need to be lived. The Wilde Goats is actually a positive.

More positives are Danault and Montembeault.

And to round out the COTW, the Wilde Cards is Demidov’s path to the Calder Trophy.
