Finally, finally, there was hockey played last weekend. For the first time since June, the Montreal Canadiens‘ jersey was flapping in the wind as the designated rookies took on teams from Pittsburgh, Toronto, and Ottawa. Not everyone was able to watch the games due to lack of streaming online, but Conor McKenna was there, and he’ll give us his impressions of who stood out, and how the Canadiens’ rookies stood up to the competition.
