Montreal Canadiens news and notes

  • Max Pacioretty leads the Montreal Canadiens in scoring and is on pace to produce 70 points this season. He also leads the team in other ways, having evolved into a leader in the locker room. [Puck Daddy]
  • Compare the production levels of the 2nd overall pick in the 2007 draft and the 22nd overall pick in the 2007 draft. Who would you declare the better player? [Sportsnet]
  • Age does not seem to be a factor for Andrei Markov, as the veteran blue liner continues to log heavy minutes and still remains one of the best defensemen in the NHL. [La Presse - French]
  • With the injury to Alexei Emelin, Jarred Tinordi will be called up. [EOTP]
  • How tight could the Hart vote be this year? Carey Price, Pekka Rinne and Alex Ovechkin make for an interesting mix. [TSN]
  • But here are five reasons why the Price should be the one to come out on top. [Journal De Montreal - French]
  • Eric Gryba attempted to seriously injure Lars Eller, yet again. [SB Nation]
  • Markov had to help get Subban off the ice, after Subban got hurt blocking a shot. [Sportsnet]

Around The League And Elsewhere

  • Familiar names will compete to win the Selke Trophy this year, as Kopitar, Datsyuk, Toews and Bergeron continue to duel it out. [NHL Numbers]
  • Where do NHL players not want to play? Canada it seems! [National Post]
  • Sidney Crosby surprised a group of children by dropping in to practice with them. Crosby was accompanied by teammates Fleury, Spaling, Sill and Bortuzzo. [NHL]
  • Watch and enjoy, as players try to list the four Hogwarts houses from Harry Potter (and fail miserably)! [YouTube]
