Is it September yet?
Nope, still a full month and change to go before the Montreal Canadiens open rookie and training camps.
As the hot July days roll on, the Eyes on the Prize crew has been working behind the scenes on an upcoming project that will begin next week.
For your mid-week reading enjoyment, I've dug up a few Habs links that you may or may not have read over the last while.
The Tri-City Herald caught up with up with Carey Price at the annual Olie and Stu's Desert Bash charity golf tournament.
We've noted here how P.K. Subban has had a busy summer. Canadiens.com had a feature today, recapping his summer thus far.
In the meantime, Tim Thomas, who referred to Subban as a travesty to the game, is capitalizing on his Stanley Cup success. Seriously, would you pay this much for a Thomas autograph, and not even in person?
On the topic of autographs/sports memorabilia, here's how a guy regrets selling his prized hockey collection, including a Guy Lafleur rookie card. Show of hands to those who tossed away, sold, or put now high dollar hockey cards through their bike spokes.
Vote for Mathieu Darche !!!

Those autograph prices are criminal. Thomas should be ashamed of himself.
As for valuable cards, luckily I’ve never unknowingly wrecked a card or lost one that became valuable, although I gave up a Guy Lafleur rookie card at the summit last year, and Kish wrecked an Ed Belfour rookie card of mine a month ago by accident.

Aebischer our 5th best goalie post St Patrick? Uh, Jeff Hackett had a way better Habs career than Aebi did. And the one year and change of Garon was better than Aebi’s one year and change, too.
Plus, it’s not like Thibault was completely horrible, either. But Hackett was the #5 for this feature.

I concur. In all honesty that list reads as “5 most recent Habs goalies” to me.

“In the meantime, Tim Thomas, who referred to Subban as a travesty to the game..”
Many of the articles I read about this Tim Thomas interview made the same mistake. Thomas never said that Subban was a travesty to the game. He was asked about a dive that Subban took during the previous Montreal/Boston game, and Thomas referred to that kind of diving as a “travesty to the game”.
Thomas is a pretty nice guy, I doubt he would ever label a fellow player in such a way.
