After making 29 cuts yesterday, some of which questionable (Matt D’Agostini), there are still a couple more to come by the end of this preseason. An abundance of forwards and defensemen remain, but the real dilemma is what to do with Carey Price? In a report on RDS, former [...]

I must have fell asleep with RDS on last night and dreamed that Mikhail Grabovski got sent down. It really didn’t make any sense to me because he’s been playing really well this preseason. Anyways Grabovski is staying with the Habs for the time being and [...]

Who cares if he let in 3 goals … Most of them weren’t his fault … His defense let him down. Give this kid some time to shine. Other than that … as much as I would love seeing him in the NHL … I think he should start this season in the AHL … [...]

Well folks the title says it all. Captain K really came out strong in his first game since, well, last year. Koivu as always played with a lot of character … especially for a preseason game. Now, I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t see the first period. I would have loved to but I [...]
