NHL hands Georges Laraque a 5 game suspension
Nov 23rd
The NHL ruled on the knee on knee hit or collision between Georges Laraque and Niklas Kronwall.
Laraque is suspended for 5 games without pay.
I expected that the NHL could give Georges anywhere from 5 to 8 games.
Kronwall is expected to miss anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks. Another significant injury in the multitude of injuries in the NHL this season.

Thinking about the team 3 games in
Oct 7th
So we’re 3 games into the 2009/2010 NHL season. In these first 3 games there’s been many ups and downs already.
The Canadiens have had 2 big injuries and 1 minor injury in their first 2 games and thankfully last night everyone made it out ok!
Here’s a few thoughts on some ups and some downs so far (in no real particular order).

2009/2010 and the new Georges Laraque
Sep 13th
When I had heard that Gainey had signed Georges Laraque to a 3 year deal last year, I was thrilled.
I had seen the Montreal Canadiens get pushed around a bit too much for my liking and I was sure that Laraque would provide some of the much needed toughness that was plaguing the team the few previous years.
But last season was a disappointment for Laraque, something I’m sure he’s aiming at making better this year.

Thursday night.. at long last the 2009/2010 NHL season got underway. Getting back to Habs hockey…. love this time of year.
I got to watch a good chunk of Thursday’s game. I missed some of it so I’m not going to write a game recap or anything like that. But there were a few things that I did notice that I thought were worthy of a comment.
I can remember last season, and the season before and etc…. The Montreal Canadiens had a core of players for a good number of years, the veteran guys who weren’t brought back…. some who just up and left.
