That’s unfortunate. Romanov probably had no idea, since that likely isn’t a rule in the KHL.

Well I came into this season thinking that we’d definitely protect Chiarot in the expansion draft. Now I’d protect Edmundson, and it isn’t even close. Edmundson is more mobile and is a better passer with a better shot. Chiarot just takes too many penalties.

Even though it looked barely onside, it’s fun to see that Claude Julien is challenging to keep Carey’s stats up.

Not gonna lie, seeing both Gallagher and Perry as the net front presence at the same time gave me goosebumps when they scored. Can only imagine what's going through Rittich's head seeing both of them up close...

Eeesh not the best period for the habs. Sluggish.

I have no words. Bullsh*t

HOW THE **** ARE WE SHORTHANDED?

F*CK YOU DYLAN DUBÉ. F*CK YOU.

At least that one’s a guaranteed suspension.

it feels like montreal vs NHL this season

So...

Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Drouin - Suzuki - Toffoli
Byron - Kotkaniemi - Perry
Frolík - Evans - Lehkonen

or

Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Drouin - Suzuki - Toffoli
Lehkonen - Evans - Byron
Frolík - Poehling - Perry

Hopefully the first option. How was that not 5 and a match penalty though? He clearly targeted KK's head and that was the first point of contact on a blindside hit. Like everything the league's supposedly wants to crack down on and not even a minor penalty there.

KK is the Canadiens' best skater today and it's not even close

oh boy here we go...

We got Markstromed.

Any idea what happened to Anderson? He seemed fine through the 1st. Hope the league reviews that hit on KK. Mete has requested a trade

Have to wonder is MB has a trade lined up for Anderson. No reason given for him disappearing from bench.

Likely tweaked his groin or something like that. He obviously isn’t getting traded.

I would hope not we need him and it's clear he loves it in Montreal. Just a weird situation to see a guy leave with no explanation halfway through a game.

Good (or bad, depending on what it is) news on Josh Anderson.

Claude Julien says Josh Anderson had flu-like symptoms. So he was sent home. He tested negative for Covid and will be tested again tomorrow.

Mete: I want to be traded
MB: Come to my office
* in MB office *
MB: look at my arm...Do you still want no be traded?!?
Mete: no sir...

Response from Habs GM Marc Bergevin regarding Mete trade request:“Not true and not trading him,” Bergevin said via text message. https://t.co/lS1Uy93xv7

Some news - Victor Mete, who has been scratched in each of the Montreal Canadiens' seven games this season, has officially requested a trade from the team. Agent Darren Ferris and the Montreal Canadiens will work together in finding a trade partner.

The funny thing is, if Anderson continue to be out for the next game, Mete might play forward against Vancouver.

I really like Mete and don’t want him to leave Montreal and I have said Mete would be a decent forward so I kinda hope that happens
