Habs fans, it’s been a while!

As a writer for The Athletic, I don’t often have the opportunity to write about the Canadiens, though I’ve certainly kept an eye on the team’s progress throughout this season.

During the 2017 playoffs, I’ve been tracking transitional play for MTL vs NYR, TOR vs WSH and CHI vs NSH (data available on my Twitter page) using a similar template to the one I developed for the McGill Martlet hockey program.
