Seems no matter where Vincent Lecavalier goes, he can’t escape the rumours and reports that link him to the Montreal Canadiens.
And it’s clear the Montreal-area native is growing tired of it all.
Lecavalier was in Montreal today for a fund raising initiative at a local car dealership, where he expressed his frustration of not knowing where [...]

GAINEY GETS HIS MAN
“What was Gainey’s rush?!?!”
“Boring, defensive hockey comes to the Montreal Canadiens!!!”
“The guy has as much personality as a wet noodle.”

HABS THROUGH CARBO’S EYES

HABS DON’T HAVE TO GO FAR FOR LATEST ACQUISITION
Some 24 hours after dispatching the popular Steve Begin to Dallas, Canadiens GM Bob Gainey found that depth centreman he was looking for.

KOVALEV SHINES IN SPOTLIGHT
Did you expect anything less from Alex Kovalev?
With the spotlight on number 27, for all the wrong reasons, Kovalev returned to action yesterday, scored a goal and added two assists, to help power the Canadiens to a 5-3 win over a stubborn Ottawa Senators hockey club.

HABS’ CENTENNIAL SEASON HANGS IN BALANCE
Some celebration.
The Montreal Canadiens’ Centennial Season is turning into a non-stop nightmare, both on and off the ice.
The action on the ice took a back seat, earlier this week, as a result of the unusual move by General Manager Bob Gainey to leave Alex Kovalev behind before the Canadiens moved on to Washington and Pittsburgh, to [...]

IS THIS THE END OF THE LINE FOR KOVALEV?
Has Alex Kovalev played his final game as a member of the Montreal Canadiens?
That’s the question Habs’ fans are asking themselves after general manager Bob Gainey sent jaws dropping today at the team’s practice facility when he informed reporters that he has told Kovalev to take a few days off in what the G.M. acknowledged [...]

CHIPCHURA GETS ANOTHER SHOT
Let me take you back to the off-season, at a time when it became clear that Mats Sundin didn’t want to have anything to do with the Montreal Canadiens, and before GM Bob Gainey went out acquired Plan B, in Robert Lang.
Once it became pretty clear that Sundin had very little interest in Montreal’s overtures, [...]

A CRY FOR HELP

Nobody is going to do it for them, said the coach, prior to leaving for this current six-game road trip.
That was before the Canadiens fell [...]
