We rank the best statistical performances for Montreal goalies since WWII.
In anticipation of Wednesday’s Montreal-Pittsburgh Game 7 and in honor of Jaroslav Halak’s eye-popping performance this spring (win or lose), we thought we’d take a look back in time and compare some of the great Canadiens netminders.

Sidney Crosby jumped out in front this season, but who has scored the most post-season points since 2000?
We always like to wax poetic around the THN campus, bringing up names from the past and comparing players of different eras. That’s what we’re doing with the Top 10 today, just taking a shorter view of things.

We're just about ready to move on to Round 2, but before we do, here's a look back at the best from a phenomenal first round.
The hockey gods aren’t doing our Top 10 many favors by having a Game 7 tonight, but unless something crazy happens Wednesday in the Canadiens-Capitals finale – like Alex Ovechkin or Mike Cammalleri netting three or four points – we can already take a gander back at Round 1 and rank individual performances.

Which teams were hurt the most by injuries this season and did it keep them out of the playoffs?
Injuries are a bummer. There’s no two ways about it. And every season injuries hit a few teams hard – real hard. Some squads, the deeper or more talented ones, muddle through and come out the other side with a modicum of success.

We count down the best youngsters making their presence felt in the NHL.
A few weeks back, we took a look at some of the relative greybeards plying their trade on NHL ice pads. Today we’re going to look at some kids who might not even be able to grow beards yet.

They're the beasts that keep us entertained between whistles with their antics and acrobatics. Here are our favorites.

The game has certainly skewed young, but there's still plenty of experienced skill to go around. Here's the best of the lot.
