Zharovsky's Greatness May Alter Hughes's Plans

I looked at Zharovsky's three-point game on Christmas Day. May his success affect potential trade scenarios down the road? Check out these great video clips:

Hoping that a specific group of my followers also had a Habby Christmas!

Put up a Zharovsky video on Christmas Eve, so he went out and had the GWG and two helpers on Christmas Day in a 4-2 win. He's on pace to shatter the KHL goal and points records for an 18-year-old.

Here's the video - enjoy your day!

It's safe to say 200-foot Slaf has officially arrived this season. Loved the backcheck (without taking a penalty and eliminating the PP) and the spin-around feed to Cole. #HabsCast
December 24, 2025 at 1:12 PM
What a pass by Slaf. Wow!
December 24, 2025 at 1:46 AM
That was not offside.

Do the Habs suffer a minimum of one injury per game?
#ridiculous

Hope Marty took note and replaces Suzuki with Demidov in the next shootout.

It should be a fun Post-Game Show tonight! Nice to see Danault back.

I closely examine the U-26 talent in both the Leafs' and Habs' organizations. One is on the rise; the other may require a massive rebuild. This should be a fun one.😉

What are your thoughts on how the Habs have drafted under Hughes and Gorton? Join me in the live chat in a couple of minutes.

Have the Canadiens drafted better than every other NHL team since Kent Hughes has been GM? I explore their draft record.

It sure seems like every original call is against the Habs. No way that it should have been a goal.
