Canadiens hockey betting fans think the key for Montreal is the continued excellent play of goaltender Cristobal Huet and the play of Saku Koivu. Fans betting NHL games know that the Canadiens don’t have a lot of offensive weapons so Koivu has to carry the load pretty much every night. Hockey betting fans know that it is a similar situation to the one in Toronto where Mats Sundin carries the load. Fans betting NHL games know that the Canadiens signed right winger Michael Ryder to a one year contract and perhaps he can help Koivu.

Prior to the formation of an NHL, there was the Montreal Canadiens team. They were established on December 4, 1909. The league's creator, Ambrose O'Brien, said that the new league required a French-Canadian team in order to create a natural rivalry with the Montreal Wanderers and the Montreal Shamrocks. Jimmy Gardiner, the NHA’s other founder, recommended that O'Brien name the team the Canadiens. The Canadiens and another four other NHA teams opted out of the NHA. They formed the NHL in 1917.
