Tuesday Habs Headlines: Bob McKenzie thinks this is a big year for both Marc Bergevin and Michel Therrien

Montreal Canadiens news and notes

• Bob McKenzie doesn't believe that Marc Bergevin and Michel Therrien will be job hunting any time soon, but states that they do need some results to back up their frnachise-altering decisions this off-season. [Today's Slapshot]
• I'm sure it came as a surprise to no one that a John Tortorella-coached Team U.S.A. came out bruising; the style of play even eclipsed the return of our beloved Carey Price [CBC Sports]
• Notwithstanding a loss to the U.S. in the first, meaningless pre-tournament game, Price facing Tomas Plekanec's Czechs seems a given:

  McKenzie: "I don't think there's any doubt in my mind, or Mike Babcock's," that when Canada plays the Czechs, Price will be in net. #WCH2016
