No worries folks, unlike the Canadiens we cover, no managers have stepped down.

Little did I know last week when I put out a call for contributors, that a new time at this site would coincide with a new era in Montreal Canadiens management. Happily, I am proud to announce that Chris Boyle, Francis Bouchard and I have been joined by a quator of new contributors, making EOTP now the effort of a Group Of Seven.

Joining us and adding to the published content here will Kevin van Steendelar, Bruce Peter, Myles Dolphin and Andrew Schildroth.

Kevin of course, is well known from his excellent site Ya! The Habs Rule!, and he will be popping in here on occasion with a variety of things, some being game day related. I've encouraged Kevin to link us back to his site whenever new content is posted there.

Bruce is likely one of the most astute and proficient commenters at EOTP and across SB Nation in general. Known as "saskhab" to many of us, Bruce's reputation as a hockey writer recently got him a gig at Puck Daddy covering the 2010 WJC.

Andrew Schildroth posts on site as "westcoasthabs" and has also been a long term reader here. Currently in the process of working towards his teachers certificate, Andrew will be chipping in with game day previews and an assortment of other posts. His first preview of the Habs / Philly doubleheader should hit these pages by week's end.

Myles describes himself as a die hard Canadiens fan born and raised in Montreal, who has been a reader of this site for a few years now. Currently, he writes movie reviews for Sound On Sight, and I urge you to check out some of his recent takes. Myles first contribution to EOTP, on the Gainey era, can be read directly below this entry.

Francis continues to work in compliance with me, somewhat in the background, sharing his expertise on Habs video and print, as well as other articles. Francis and I always have several pieces coming down the pipe (four, I think, at the moment!) and will continue to work in the area of Canadiens history. Chris' past work at EOTP, the extremely popular Price vs Halak series continues and is set for a fourth installment soon. Rather than simply encompassing January this time out, Chris will be including a February segment into the usual analysis. Mr. Boyle may be also branching out in different ways in the near future and I am anxious to see just what he will put his skills to.

While it is still to be determined and sorted out who will be doing exactly what and when, I am thrilled to have everyone aboard and anxious for readers to see what we all bring forth together. I am also pleased to offer readers new opinions and fresh points of view. I hope that everyone enjoys this evolution to a more rounded site.

On a final note, to readers, as there will surely be more content on a daily basis to be viewed here, I would remind everyone to scroll the page and check things out. We would want some of this work to pass you by.

Now like Pierre Gauthier said on Monday, "It's time to roll up the sleeves...."
