Sunday Habs Headlines: Canadiens being mentioned in Taylor Hall trade discussions

Montreal Canadiens news and notes

• Trade speculation is heating up regarding Taylor Hall, and Montreal is in the mix. [Sportsnet | TSN]
• Playing deeper in his net is the reason for Price’s struggles, and he’s playing deeper to have less distance to travel on all the cross-ice passes that are connecting. Both goaltender and defence need to work together to fix those issues. [Sportsnet]
• Nick Suzuki, who had a nice power-play assist in yesterday’s game, thinks yesterday’s performance was a good step toward getting back on track. [Canadiens.com]
• The NHL All-Star Fan Vote is now open. [NHL.com]
• Have a closer look the “construction site” mask Keith Kinkaid was wearing yesterday:/

Once again Keith Kinkaid’s buddy Youppi, the Canadiens mascot, shows up on Keith’s mask👊🏻😊. Again Youppi is working as a construction worker🛠, he has put up blockaids and barricades🚧🚨… Cool connection to Kinkaid’s nickname… 🤓👊🏻 This mask is created in more white to match the white uniform… Yep the mask is a construction site, just like Keith’s previous mask👌🏻. As the paint nerd I am I just love to create these storyteller buckets🤓. And for sure it is loaded with all the DaveArt Trademark Super FX✨. Thank you Keith! 🤓🙏🏻@blockaid1 @canadiensmtl #DaveArt @nhl #DaveArtFamily #DaveArtFantasyUnleashed #nhl #DaveArrTheCradleOfCreativity
