This morning, Jacob Fowler took to the ice for the first time under his new colors: those of the Laval Rocket. The goalkeeper spent the last few days in Montreal: with the Rocket in the West, he hadn’t had the chance to practice with the Montreal Canadiens’ farm team yet.
The Laval Rocket is certain to make the playoffs in the AHL. And even if the top of the AHL is not yet a certainty, there’s a good chance it will happen.
Let’s talk about the situation of the CH and the Rocket in front of the net. Right now, the Canadiens are relying on Samuel Montembeault as #1 and Jakub Dobes as #2.
In 2024, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton made some good moves as GM and VP of the Canadiens. At the end of this year, I felt like compiling my personal top-5 of their best moves from the past 12 months.

It's rare for this to happen, but a new name was 'the talk of the town' last night within the Montreal Canadiens organization. A new name was on everyone's lips among the Canadiens entourage, and that name is goaltender Connor Hughes.
More and more experts believe a surprise could be shaping up in the Montreal Canadiens' net, with Cayden Primeau, Jakub Dobes, and Connor Hughes. Since the start of camp, it's becoming evident that there are some very good goaltenders within the organization, and some have even started speculating on the possibility of Dobes causing an upset.
The Montreal Canadiens are always looking to improve their available talent at various positions. From the very get-go, general manager Kent Hughes identified
