I hope this is an appropriate place to post this,
I’m from PPP
and I’m doing a project for a Communications class on NHL realignment,
If any of you could fill out this survey (its really quick) that would be fantastic,

Thanks!

Woywitka, a veteran defenceman of 251 NHL games, has signed a one year, two-way contract with Montreal. He would have to clear waivers in order to be sent to Hamilton.

The signing is a depth move, possibly in case of a training camp injury, and is reminiscient of the Canadiens signing Alexandre Picard last year, except for a big, slow, left handed defensive defenceman rather than a smaller, mobile, right handed offensive defenceman. It also decreases the likelihood that we will see Brendon Nash or Mark Mitera called up in case of injury.

Woywitka could make the NHL team as a spare even without an injury, as the Canadiens have been known to carry 8 defencemen in the past.

A pretty interesting take on Philadelphia's cap-mismanagement..

Hello Habs fans. Stopping by to enlist some help if possible. We are running a community, poll based mock draft over at Hockey Wilderness, and the Habs are on the clock. We could use your assistance in choosing the proper player. Stop by and cast your vote.

Poll closes at 8PM central time. Hope to see you there.

The Habs road record may have only recently pushed the .500 mark, but that's not the result of poor play: they generally have carried the play when the game is tied, which is arguably the best indicator of a team's strength. Bad shooting percentage (which often means bad luck) and an inability to draw penalties are probably the two most prominent things keeping Montreal down in the #6 seed in the East right now.

Tired of seeing your players take illegal hits that are suspension worthy that don’t get suspensions?
Tired of Colin Campbell’s inconsistent and laughable wheel of justice?
Tired of not seeing your players protected by the nhl, whom should have their best interest in mind?
If so, join our Fire Colin Campbell petition. Read the instruction on how to post and follow suit. Keep it straight forward and in sync so we have a professional thing to produce to Bettman and the league of why this guy needs to be taken out of office. Thank you. Link is above.

Brian Gionta's younger brother, Stephen, is making his NHL debut tonight for the New Jersey Devils. He'll be wearing Brian's old #14, which I believe is the first time it's been used since Brian signed in Montreal in 2009.

Best of luck to Stephen in his NHL career, except if/when he plays the Canadiens, of course.

Yahoo! Sports Canada commissioned a survey, released today, that asked 1,503 Canadians about the Stanley Cup and when, exactly, it might be back in the clutches of a Canada-based franchise.

What it found? Optimism.
