Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

If you qualify for black card it’s limitless, as long as you pay yearly fees….

This isn’t MLB or the Premiership.

Chris Boucher adding to his analytics department:

Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes announced on Thursday the appointment of Philippe Desaulniers as Head of Hockey Analytics Technology and Miranda McMillan as Hockey Data Analyst.

They will work under the supervision of the Director of Hockey Analytics, Christopher Boucher.

A graduate of Polytechnique Montréal, Philippe Desaulniers has been a professional in the technology space for over 25 years, working on early AI applications in mining, and getting involved in the Montreal technology hubs of aerospace and telecommunications, before moving on to the world of large-scale data analysis.

After several years of developing analytics software and artificial intelligence systems at Averna and Radialpoint, Desaulniers took on the challenge of the startup world, teaming up with the founders of Sportlogiq. There, he combined bleeding edge AI with the pioneering approaches of hockey analytics, led the engineering of the startup's core technology, and created a revolutionary hockey data analytics system that, in the span of a few years, became the de facto standard advanced statistics tool for NHL teams.

McMillan, 32, started playing hockey at eight years old. She sported the colors of the Dalhousie University Tigers for five seasons, where she completed a BSc with combined honours in Mathematics and Statistics.

McMillan also has experience behind the bench, serving as an assistant coach and head coach of the U18 AAA female team in Halifax from 2013 to 2017. A Level 3 on-ice official, she was a lineswoman at two U SPORTS female national championships.

Prior to joining the Canadiens' Hockey Analytics department, the Truro, NS native spent almost six years a statistician and manager of the Data Team at Kinduct Technologies in Halifax.
 
There were nice cheap bottom 6 he could of chased

I thought White was a good fit
Same, I would have tried to get White at that price, but really this year is a wash, and we still need to sign Dach and a Montembeault (or another goalie). We're getting close to 17M of cap space next year from Drouin, Dadonov, Byron and Allen.
 
Finally a smart management group that gets it. No more stupid contracts just to say look what we did or to plug a hole by throwing shit at the wall. They actually have a plan unlike Bergevin and his gym buddies

They had a plan, 15 minutes on the treadmill to start for warmup then move into their TRX motions while Trevor flipped big ass caterpillar tires for no god damn reason while following the MN high school scene on Facebook and Instagram. Don't even ask about his snap.
 
He's toast


Yeah. When you saw him having fun with his family during the final games of the year, I think that was as close as you'll get to a "I'm out of this" type of moment.

When a hyper-focused player like Price doesn't even notice the play is going on in front of him at the end of the game because he's waving to his kids, I think the gig's up.
 
PRP is being tried as low riak treatment for everything from osteoarthritis to hair loss. It may help. I am doubtful it will allow a compromised knee to withstand being a goaltender in the NHL.
Maybe this will allow him a life with relatively less pain. He should likely go live in a dry place.
