Habs Named Marc Bergevin as GM
The Montreal Canadiens have a new general manager: Marc Bergevin. Bergevin comes with a solid reputation from the Chicago Blackhawks front office and was a pretty darn good scout to boot. At 46, he’ll be the 17th GM for the Canadiens. He received a five year contract from Geoff Molson and seems to preach team concepts [...]
Andrei Markov Participates in Contact Practice
Montreal Canadiens defenceman Andrei Markov is another step closer to returning to action. He participated in a contact practice today and wore one of those snazzy regular-coloured jerseys to signify the occasion. Markov has only played in seven games over the last two seasons, having had a pair of major knee ligament operations over the [...]
Andrei Kostitsyn Traded to Nashville Predators
Andrei Kostitsyn has been traded to the Nashville Predators for a second round pick in 2013 and the conditional draft pick from the Hal Gill trade. This means that AK-46 joins his younger brother, Sergei, with the club. The deal mostly gives the Predators some depth, as it doesn’t really address any immediate needs. In [...]
Hal Gill Traded to Predators
The Nashville Predators have bolstered their defensive unit by adding Hal Gill thanks to a trade with the Montreal Canadiens. The Preds sent forwards Blake Geoffrion and Robert Slaney along with a draft pick to the Habs. Nashville gets a conditional draft pick for 2013, too. Gill is 36-years-old and has a surplus of playoff experience, so that should [...]
Cammalleri Traded to Calgary Flames
Just a day after lipping off about the current status of the Montreal Canadiens, Mike “We Play Like Losers” Cammalleri has been traded to the Calgary Flames. The Habs traded the forward and goalie Karri Ramo along with a fifth round draft pick to the Flames for Rene Bourque, Patrick Holland and a second round [...]
Mike Cammalleri: “We Play Like Losers”
Montreal Canadiens forward Mike Cammalleri was booed by Habs fans during his team’s 3-0 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night. To make matters worse, the Montreal “faithful” cheered former Canadien Jaroslav Halak while he played in net for the opposing team. Now that is a cynical crowd. “I can’t accept that we will display [...]
Subban Benched Against Jets, “Embarassed”
With the Montreal Canadiens losing five in a row, P. K. Subban was less than impressed with being benched. “You don’t want to be a healthy scratch and when you are it’s embarrassing,” Subban said Monday. “You’re walking through the airport going home and you don’t even want to look at anybody, because people put [...]
Is Patrick Roy in Line to Coach the Habs?
Patrick Roy is on record as saying that he’s willing to accept the call if the Montreal Canadiens came sniffing around. Roy, the coach, general manager and part-owner of the QMJHL Quebec Remparts, has been among the names batted around by fans in Montreal. With Jacques Martin now out of the post and Randy Cunneyworth [...]
Montreal Fires Jacques Martin
With the club at last place in its division, the Montreal Canadiens fired Jacques Martin. Assistant Randy Cunneyworth was placed as interim head coach for the rest of the season and Larry Carriere was made assistant coach. The Habs find themselves at the bottom of the division, sure, but they’re just two points out of [...]
Habs Struggle with Injuries Out of the Gate
Two games into the regular season, the Montreal Canadiens are down three regulars – four if you count Andrei Markov. Chris Campoli, Jaroslav Spacek and Michael Cammalleri are all on the outside looking in for now and, with the home opener set to go on Thursday, that’s not the season start Jacques Martin was hoping [...]
