The bad luck out West continued for yet another season as the Habs went 0 for Western Canada this past week, dropping to 2-3 on the season.
Edmonton 3: Montreal 2. The Montreal Canadiens missed the opportunity to end their season opening five-game road trip on a good note.
Tonight sees the Canadiens (2-2) stumble into Edmonton (1-1-1), after a 7-1 thrashing at the hands of Vancouver on Wednesday night.
The Habs continue their five game road trip tonight at the midway point, by visiting the Canucks of Vancouver. The team is coming off their first loss of the season, a tough 4-3 defeat in Calgary last night.
Calgary 4: Montreal 3. The winning streak is over.
Habs have signed Marc-Andre Bergeron to a 1 year deal worth 750,000.
The Montreal Canadiens kick off their 3-game Western swing on Tuesday, starting with a game versus the Calgary Flames.
If you are reading this manual then it is safe to assume that you were a witness to the fateful night of October 1st, 2009.
It was a week that started off with all kinds of anticipation but ended in sheer panic. The good news is that the Habs actually won both their games but lost a trio of players in the process.
