With Montreal seemingly on the cusp of regaining their early season play they have a difficult chore this evening at the Pengrowth Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta.

I missed the first five minutes of the period but if the rest of the period was the same, it will have been quiet, interpersed by a few high moments.

Claude Julien and Rick Green have been fired by the Canadiens. Bob Gainey will serve as the team’s interim head coach.

After losing 4 of 5 games on the road, The Habs were looking for a little home cooking, but in the end they got burned.

Garnett became the first Atlanta goaltender to post consecutive shutouts as Jaroslav Modry had a goal and three assists in the Thrashers’ 4-0 victory over Montreal on Monday night. The Canadiens entered with an 8-1-2 record all-time at Philips Arena, but

The Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs currently sit on opposite sides of the playoff race, with the Habs sitting in first and the Leafs hanging on to seventh place.

Hockey purists may not like them, but even those fans have to agree that, despite their objections, the shootout gets everyone on their feet.

So far this young season, in which the Canadiens find themselves 12-3-1, the Canadiens have relied on a bevy of players to secure victory including, Steve Begin, Michael Ryder, and the entire first line.

The Canadiens are making believers out of everyone. In the return match of a home-and-home series against the Buffalo Sabres, Montreal managed to eke out yet another 3-2 victory.

It was certainly not the most entertaining victory of the season, but the Canadiens somehow managed to pull out a 3-2 win against the Sabres in Buffalo on this evening.
