About

Welcome to Habs Analytics, a blog dedicated to quantifying the Montreal Canadians and their 101 year history. Here you will find rigorous statistical analysis of past Montreal Canadiens players, coaches, and teams. So much has been written about this franchise, but most of the great stories are qualitative in nature. They describe the past in terms of impressions, emotions, opinions. The mission of Habs Analytics is to explore the deep and storied history of this franchise from a quantitative angle, while unearthing insightful, surprising, and, yes, sometimes even controversial statistical facts. This is not a place where you read news, rumors, rants, or speculations about the Montreal Canadiens. Our focus isn’t on the present, it’s on the long spectrum of history.
