The best way to look at the past week for the Habs is probably this: A win’s a win, no matter how ugly it may have been.

The 2010 World Junior Championships took place from December 26, 2009 to January 5, 2010 in Regina and Saskatoon.
Special teams, they’ve been a topic of discussion and debate all season long, particularly to the effect of, “Why do the Habs have so many more PK’s than PP’s?”
It was a long week for the Habs who won just 1 of 4 contests and were listless for most of it.
On Saturday, the Habs will begin their season longest 7-game road trip with a stop on Long Island.
Faced with 4 games in 6 days, the Habs managed to pull of a split, beating Philadelphia and Ottawa before losing to Pittsburgh and Atlanta while the Bulldogs continue to be in the hunt for the division lead after a pair of wins this week.
The Habs started the week off terribly but finished strong with a convincing win in the Centennial Game on Friday night.
On Tuesday, the Habs continued their roster tinkering sending Kyle Chipchura to the Anaheim Ducks. In return, the Habs receive a conditional 4th round pick in the 2011 Entry Draft.
If the Habs proved one thing this week, it’s that they can be a scrappy bunch and claw their way back into games. Unfortunately, that still only earned them 3 of a possible 6 points.
The Habs on Monday announced their first trade of the season, moving underachieving winger Guillaume Latendresse to Minnesota in exchange for the underachieving Benoit Pouliot.
