Well, the trade deadline has come and gone, and yet again, Canadiens coach/GM Bob Gainey stole the show.

It was a beautiful night at the Bell Centre on Saturday March the 11th as an emotional crowd of 21,273 filled the arena, not only to watch a hockey game but also to celebrate the life and career of a great Canadiens player.

Certains journalistes affectés à la couverture, ainsi que certains amateurs qui se fient à ce qui se dit dans les médias, ont du mal s’expliquer les raisons qui ont poussé le Canadien à se départir de José Théodore.

Three games into the six-game road trip and already the goal of playing for .500 has already been achieved. This game against the Flyers is the 4th.

With only 21 games remaining in the regular season the Montreal Canadiens find themselves in the final playoff position and 5 points out of 6th place in the Eastern Conference.

Tonight’s game for the Toronto Maple Leafs will most likely be a compass for their actions before Thursday’s 3pm trading deadline.

With the deadline less than 72 hours away, anticipation and speculation are rampant, as are the crazy ridiculous rumours of course.

The Montreal Canadiens are preparing to do something no Canadiens team has done since the 1976-77 season, and that is sweep the season series against the Philadelphia Flyers.

With the victory in Tampa Bay last night the Canadiens moved to within two points of the seventh place Lightning while still holding a game at hand.
