MONTREAL, QC — Few phrases in Montreal Canadiens lore provoke more emotion or revive more memories than “The Forum“. Once called “the most storied building in hockey history” by Sporting News, the arena was home to nearly 18,000 Habs fans between 1924-1996.
Today that iconic structure on Cabot Square no longer echoes with the sounds of skates, sticks, pucks, and cheers amid Stanley Cup-winning excitement. However, Habs fans have found new ways to keep making their voices heard.
With this in mind, Rocket Sports Media is proud to bring you a new video column, Habs Fan Forum. The weekly video series is hosted by contributor Ben Dankiw. Each week he’ll take you on a journey to recap the highs and lows of the Habs from a fan’s perspective. So buckle up, it’s always a wild ride!
This Week:
On this week’s episode, there are finally some hockey games to talk about! Although the stats and results don’t really count in preseason, the Habs’ 2-3-1 record in six exhibition games against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators left fans feeling unsure about the season ahead. Ben takes you along as he reviews parts of those games that could be important moving forward: line combinations, special teams, even-strength play, and individual efforts in the battle for roster spots.
After a few early games to test prospect depth, the Canadiens made a number of cuts from training camp, giving the final two preseason games close to an opening-night roster. However, the Habs also a number of key injuries, which Ben says could be a concern early in the season.
