–
Our monthly three stars return with a new twist. With the Habs out of the picture, our focus shifts to the Hamilton Bulldogs as well as Montreal’s prospects playing at other levels.

It was looking like it was going to be a really tough week for Hamilton as they travelled to Abbotsford to take on the league leading Heat in a pair of games.
Although the NHL season isn’t underway and the lockout having no end in sight, quite a few Habs are keeping themselves in playing shape by suiting up in various countries and leagues worldwide.
The Habs have had many prospects over the years. As always, some have had high expectations and succeeded while others picked later had lower expectations and varying degrees of success in the pros.
Offensive consistency eluded the Bulldogs last season and it’s safe to say that it’s happening again this year.
If there was one positive that came out of the last lockout, it was the systemic changes to the game that most would agree made it more entertaining.
One of the most talked about aspects from the last lockout was the rule changes put in place to create the ‘New NHL.’
Injuries are beginning to take their toll on the Hamilton Bulldogs, a team that won just one of their three games to slip even further into the North Division’s basement.
On Thursday, I had a chance to take in the Sarnia Sting-Barrie Colts game featuring Montreal’s 1st round pick Alex Galchenyuk.
The lockout has now entered its third month and it doesn’t appear that there will be any CBA talks this week.
