L:  Montreal Canadiens 2 at Calgary Flames 3

The Canadiens started their western road swing and it seemed they were just not ready.  Call it jet-lagged, or lack of focus, the Canadiens trailed 2-0 after the first period.  Canadiens played catch up all game, with P.K. Subban leading the way with a goal and an assist, but his two 3rd period penalties, one of them with over a minute left in the game, ended any chances of the Canadiens tying the game.  Journey-man goalie Joey MacDonald was the game’s first star.  Nathan Beaulieu made his first start oft he season with the Habs.

Milestone: Rene Bourque played in his 500th career NHL game.

W:  Montreal Canadiens 4 at Edmonton Oilers 1

After a lack lustre game the night before, Head Coach Michel Therrien wasted no time to juggle the lines.  Eller – Galchenyuk – Gallagher, which provided 70% of the scoring in the first three games, was broken up.  Tomas Plekanec replaced Eller at Centre.  Eller centred a line with Pacioretty and Brière.  After an early second period goal by the Oilers Ryan Smith on a Power play, the Canadiens answered with 4 unanswered goals.  The Gally kids lead the way with both Brendan Gallagher and Alex Gallchenyuk netting a goal and an assist.  P.K.

W:  Montreal Canadiens 4 at Vancouver Canucks 1

The Canadiens started the game without the services of Brian Gionta who, the day before, had to rush back home to attend to a family emergency concerning one of his children.  The game tied at 1-1 in the second, featured one of the strangest goal when Dan Hamius and Roberto Luongo combined for an own goal. The goal was credited to Lars Eller.  A shorthanded goal.  That seemed to sap the momentum in the third period as the Canadiens won 4-1.  Tomas Plekanec and Josh Gorges got their first of the year, both in the third period, and PK Subban picked up another assist,

Montreal Canadiens  1-1, 2 points, 5th in Atlantic Division

Canadiens for the week: 2 GP; 1 W 1 L , 2 points

Tuesday October 1, 2013

L:  Toronto Maple Leafs 4 at Montreal Canadiens 3

The Canadiens and Leafs renewed their rivalry to kick off the 2013-14 season.  The Canadiens broke out to a quick 2-1 lead after the 1st period, but turnovers and “lack of execution” as described by Habs coach Michel Therrien, enabled the Leafs to score 3 more goals.  Including a short-handed goal when Andrei Markov couldn’t keep the puck in at the Toronto’s blue line when on a power play.  Despite Lars Eller picking up 3 points in the game with 2 goals and an assist, the game was overshadowed by the injury/concussion sustained by George Parros when Parros fell flat to the ice face first during a fight with Colton Orr.  Parros was rushed to the hospital and was released the next day, and is out indefinitely.

 Saturday October 5, 2013  

W:  Philadelphia Flyers 1 at Montreal Canadiens 4

The Canadiens picked up their first win of the season as Head Coach Michel Therrien let his better players play.  Lars Eller centring Alex Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher led the way again as the line combined for 2 goals and 4 assists.  The trio even saw action on the first power play unit.  PK Subban  got ice time on the penalty kill, as he played closed to 29 minites.  The Canadiens played the game without the services of Max Pacioretty who is still nursing a hand injury.  That meant Michael Bournival made his NHL debut but saw limited action playing just over 6 minutes.  The game marked Daniel Briere’s first game against his former club.  In two games Briere is still trying to get his first point as a Hab.  The game also marked the return of Vincent Lecavalier playing his first game at the Bell Centre in a Flyers uniform.  Suffice to say, Lecavalier was booed mercifully all game by Habs fans.  Before the game, it was noted that George Parros is recovering well from Tuesday’s concussion and is now listed day to day.  Ryan White took Parros spot in the lineup.

Injury Report for the week:

  • Sept 30: Douglas Murray (D) out 4-6 weeks with upper body injury.
  • Oct 1: George Parros (F) out day to day with concussion.
  • Oct 5: Max Pacioretty (F) out day to day with upper body injurt.

Canadiens turnover from last season

Looking at the year–to–year changeover of the Montreal Canadiens heading into the 2013-14 season, there is less turnover in roster players than in seasons past.  Last season coming out the lockout, the Canadiens had a new Management team, a new head coach, a new system and brought in new players.  In addition, two rookies made the roster from Day 1; Brendan Gallagher and Alex Galchenyuk.

From the players who started the season with the Canadiens last season, four players are no longer with the Montreal Canadiens organization.  Yannick Weber is now playing with the Vancouver Canucks.  Tomas Kaberle was bought out of his contract and now plays back home for Kladno in the Czech league. Colby Armstrong was a UFA and signed this off season with Vaxjo HC (Swedish Elite League).  And Erik Cole was traded to Dallas Stars midway thru last season for Michael Ryder.

By season’s end, Ryder, a UFA signed with the New Jersey Devils, and Jeff Halpern, a waiver pickup last season, remains unsigned.

Who replaced these roster spots?

This off-season the Canadiens made a huge splash on the free agency market by signing UFA Daniel Brière.  The Canadiens also signed UFA defenseman Douglas Murray, who played with San Jose last season.  And tough guy George Parros was obtained from the Florida Panthers in a trade involving a minor league player.

Coming out of training camp, with injuries to defenseman Alexei Emelin, Davis Drewiske, and Douglas Murray, Jarred Tinordi was able to crack the top 6 on defence.  And forward Michaël Bournival, who impressed many during training camp, has also made the 23-man roster.  Remains to be seen how many games action Bournival will get as the season progresses.

The Numbers game of Andrei Markov

On Thursday, after reading The Gazette’s Dave Stubbs’ feature on Andrei Markov, now entering his 13 year in the NHL, all with the Canadiens, it made me wonder.  In these past 12 seasons, how many Habs GMs has Markov seen?  Number of Habs head Coaches Markov has played for in that time span? Captains, etc.?

So I compiled the following table.

162

Picked 162 overall by the Canadiens back in the 1997 Entry Draft (6th Round).

3

Number of different ownership groups that have owned the Montreal Canadiens during Markov’s time;  Molson Inc., George Gillett Jr, and Molson family lead by Geoff, Andrew and Justin Molson.

5

Number of different GMs during Markov’s time: Rejean Houle, André Savard, Bob Gainey, Pierre Gauthier, Marc Bergevin.

7

Number  of different Head Coaches Andrei Markov has played for; Alain Vigneault, Michel Therrien (twice), Claude Julien, Bob Gainey (twice), Guy Carbonneau, Jacques Martin, Randy Cunneyworth.

2

Number of Captains Markov served under; Saku Koivu, and Brian Gionta.

684

Number of NHL Regular Season Games played.

91

Number of Regular Season Goals in the NHL.

308

Number of Regular Season  Assists in the NHL.

399

Number of Regular Season Points in the NHL.

2

Participated in two All-Star games; 2007-08 as a starter and in the 2008-09 All-Star Game.

2

Number of season-ending injuries (2009, 2010).

3

Number of serious injuries; two torn ACL right knee, and one lacerated tendon in his left foot.

5

The number of contracts Andrei Markov has signed with Montreal.  Now entering his final year of a 3 year, $17.25M contract Markov signed back in 2011.

Montreal Canadiens Training Camp is underway

The Montreal Canadiens opened their training camp schedule on Sept. 11 when 55 players showed up for medicals.   Happy to report that Alex Galchenyuk put on the most mass during the off season gaining 7 lbs over last season.

For a full list of the 55 players invited to the Canadiens Training camp, click here.

Here is my list of the 5 top players to watch for.

#1) Louis Leblanc, 6’0, 190 lbs, Centre:  Leblanc was the Canadiens 1st pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.  Having already played 42 games in the NHL, Leblanc did not play 1 game in the NHL last season.  He got off to a slow start with AHL Hamilton and then got injured and never got his groove back,  This Training Camp, Leblanc needs to impress Marc Bergevin and Michel Therrien as the team tries to evaluate him and determine if he’s NHL or AHL material.

#2) Christian Thomas, 5’09, 176 lbs, Right-Wing:  Christian Thomas was acquired in the off season in a trade with the New York Rangers for Danny Kristo,  Many say Thomas is ready to make the jump to the NHL.  He it basically as raw as it gets having played only 1 game in the NHL.  Should Brian Gionta start the season on Injured Reserve recovering from off-season bicep surgery, many are speculating that Thomas will start the season with the Canadiens playing wing on a line with Tomas Plekancec and Rene Bourque.

#3) Jarred Tinordi, 6.06, 215 lbs, Defence:  Jarred Tinordi got his feet wet in the NHL late last season playing 8 regular season games and all 5 games in the playoffs.  Having come in to take up Alexi Emelin’s spot on the roster last season, Tinordi has to prove to Habs management if he is higher on the depth chart than Francis Bouillon, Raphael Diaz, Davis Drewiske, or newly acquired Douglas Murray.

#4) Nathan Beaulieu, 6’02, 194 lbs, Defence:  Nathan Beaulieu too was given an opportunity for a regular shift last season after Alexei Emelin went down with season ending injury, but only played 6 games and was then returned back to the AHL.  This off season Beaulieu trained out of the Habs’ Brossard practice facility, and he is challenging Tinordi for that last spot on the blue line.  With the Canadiens most likely carrying two extra defenseman to start the season, Beaulieu is on the bubble. And after the first scrimmage this trainign camp, Beaulieu hurt his shoulder and was placed on IR.  He’s now on the outside looking in, almost surely starting the season in Hamilton.

#5 Joonas Nattinen, 6’03, 192 lbs, Centre.  Joonas Nattinen was drafted back in the 2009 draft.  Having played in Sweden these past 4 seasons, Nattinen has seen late season North American action albeit briefly, for Hamilton, these past two seasons.  But he’s ready to make the transition to North America for the duration of a season?  Many eyes will be watching.

Many former Montreal Canadiens still looking for work

Glancing at the available UFA list this off season, and with training camp one week away, should we be surprised to see the amount of former Habs who still can’t find work in the NHL?  Many former Habs have either signed on to play in the Europe or they are still waiting for a call from an NHL team.

This past weekend two former Habs found work or about to find work abroad. Yahoo! Sports quotes from Czech publication Sport that Tomas Kaberle (who played with Canadiens 2011-13 and who the Canadiens  used a compliance buyout on his contract this past off season) is close to signing on with Dinamo Minsk.  And one time Habs Ryan O’Byrne (2007-11), who split last season between the  Colorado Avalance and the Toronto Maple Leafs, has signed on with HC LEV Praha in the Czech Republic.

Earlier this summer, Chris Campoli (2011-12) signed on with Lugano in the Swiss League.  Colby Armstrong is taking his game to Sweden (Swedish Hockey League’s Vaxjo Lakers).  Arsmtrong will be joined by  Petteri Nokelainen (2011-13) who signed a one-year contract with Brynas IF of the Swedish Hockey League.

Closer to home former Habs Steve Begin (2003-07) signed a minor league deal with Calgary Flames AHL affiliate Abbotsford Heat in BC.

These are the lucky ones.  Here is a list of former Habs still looking for work:   Hal Gill (2009-12), Jose Theodore (1996-2004), Jeff Halpern (2010-11, 2013), Michael Leighton (2007) , Tom Kostopoulos (2007-09), Guillaume Latendresse (2006-2010), Mathieu Garon (2000-04), Brett Clark (1997-99), Ron Hainsey (2002-04), and  Ben Maxwell (2008-2010).

Unsigned players is not something exclusively related to the Montreal Canadiens.  For many of these players, the Montreal Canadiens were one of their many stops in their NHL careers.  A reflection of today’s reality in the NHL.

Also with the salary cap going down this season to $64.3M (was $pro-rated at $70.2M during the lockout shortened 2013 season), many of the above mentioned players are squeezed out by today’s economics.  Teams needing to find cheaper, younger alternatives to fill their 3 and fourth lines, or 3rd defensive pairing, or back-up goalie.

This 2013-14 NHL season, training camp starts earlier this year due to the NHL taking a 17 day break in their schedule in February to accommodate  the Winter Olympics between Feb 9 and Feb 26, 2014.

In addition, the 2013-14 will be marked by changes to both the NHL schedule and NHL playoffs format.

Columbus moves to the newly created Metropolitan Division.

The playoff format also changed.  The top three teams in each division qualify for the post season play, followed by two wild card teams that make up the two best teams remaining in the conference.  With the first seed in each division playing a wild card team (the #2 seed will play the #3 seed within their division).

It all kicks off officially Tuesday September 3, 2013 when the Montreal Canadiens hold their annual Golf Tournament, this  year at the Club de golf Laval-sur-le-Lac.  As TSN690’s Amanda Stein tweets, @amandacstein: “The official start to the years hockey madness.”

Habs players possibly heading to the Sochi Games

This season, the NHL is sending their best to participate in the Winter Olympics.  Dating back to the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, this marks the 5th consecutive Olympics NHL players take part in the Olympics (1998/Nagano; 2002/Salt Lake City; 2006/Milan; 2010/Vancouver; 2014/Sochi).

Potentially 10 Canadiens players can be taking part in the Winter Games.

Twelve teams qualified for the ice hockey competition at the Olympics.   Every country are holding an Orientation camps prior to the start of their 2013/14 seasons.

Team Canada will be holding Camp between August 25- August 28. Two members of the Montreal Canadiens have been asked to attend;  G – Carey Price and 2013 Norris Trophy Winner defenseman P.K. Subban.

Other members of the Canadiens have also been invited by their respective countries to take part in their orientation camps include defensemen Alexei Emelin and Andrei Markov by the Russian Federation.

Team USA have invited forwards Mac Pacioretty and surprisingly sophomore  Alex Galchenyuk.

Some other members of the Canadiens will be a lock to represent their country at the Olympics. They include defenseman Raphael Diaz (Switzerland), goalie Peter Budaj (Slovakia) and forwards Tomas Plekenec (Czech Replublic) and Lars Eller (Denmark).  Eller is by far the best player on his team.
