CANADIENS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Steven Hindle: 6 Picks, 3 Rounds, 1 Future
And so begins Marc Bergevin's true challenge as general manager of the Montreal Canadiens.
Gifted with a shortened season that saw the Habs jump from worst in the Conference to one of the most competitive clubs in the East, Bergevin had a nice intro.
He certainly took over a rather maligned situation from the previous management regime, yet he was also fortunate that among...

The Canadiens Actually Wanted To Keep Davis Drewiske by Steven Ellis
So first the Canadiens signed Francis Bouillon, but now they have inked Davis Drewiske to a two year deal. I guess Montreal is looking to stack the healthy scratch list. Drewiske’s deal will see him make $625K next season, and $650K in 2014-15. This means he will carry a cap hit of $.6375M. Undrafted, Drewiske started [...]

Eric Engels: Subban's Norris, Team Canada, Cup Finals
1) Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet has reported that P.K. Subban has officially won the Norris Trophy.
In hindsight, Subban's bridge deal was never about humbling the young man. It was always about the declining cap next season and what was affordable in the short-term.
The Habs could've had Subban at five years, five million per. It's not as though Marc Bergevin assumed...
Subban, Norris, Last Laugh (or something like that)
If you believe the news, PK Subban, aka The Subbanator, is the 2012-13 Norris Trophy Winner. Well done Mr. Subban. Well deserved. For anyone who does not see PK regularly, this guy plays his guts out night in, night out. Along with many fans, I am quite interested to see how Hockey Night in Canada reacts, as they have been one of the few outlets to continue harping on PK as being...

You hear a faint humming sound coming from outside two large wooden doors; you approach the doors slowly, and an overwhelming wave crashes upon you as you open the doors with intrigue. Suddenly the humming comes to light as the decibel level rises; the booming sounds of laughter, drinks and fans cheering.
You look around curiously when...
Ryder’s Montreal days done…again
As per the Journal de Montreal, Michael Ryder is done in Montreal. Various sources since, on Twitter and radio, have cited his agent for the news, but it's no surprise to anyone who watched the Habs falter in the playofs - it was as if Ryder had left Montreal as soon as the regular season ended.
Ryder's departure means the Habs will be in the market for a top line winger...
Dalton Thrower Suspended For Rest Of Memorial Cup For Really, Really Dirty Hit
Dalton Thrower of the Saskatoon Blades has been suspended for the rest of the Memorial Cup for an illegal hit on Taylor Leier of the Portland Winterhawks.
Somehow both officials ate their whistle on the play and Thrower didn’t spend any time in the penalty box. Needless to say, Winterhawk coach Travis Green was none too pleased.
Despite having two referees – Reagan Vetter of...
THE DENTIST
Carey Price pulls out tooth, gives it to trainer
It take a lot to knock an NHL player out of the game and losing a tooth is not enough to do it. Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price lost a tooth, presumably during a collision with his own defenseman Jarred Tinordi. Price yanked the tooth out during a whistle, skated over to the trainer to drop it off for safe keeping and then returned to his net to keep playing. Oddly enough...
Canadiens Forward Brandon Prust Calls Senators Coach Paul MacLean a ‘Bug-Eyed Fat Walrus’
OK, so the Canadiens-Senators series just got real good, and we’re only one game into things.
A little more than 12 hours after Ottawa’s Eric Gryba delivered a nasty-looking check to Montreal’s Lars Eller that left Eller in a pool of his own blood on the ice, things are continuing to heat up.
After Game 1, Ottawa coach Paul MacLean criticized Montreal defenseman Raphael Diaz...

Eller was receiving a suicide pass from teammate Raphael Diaz when he was hit by Eric Gryba on or around his head. Gryba received a five-minute major for interference as well as a game misconduct.
“Lars Eller suffered head...
