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.

Good period for the habs. Mostly an even game, we were just lucky.

And Corey Perry still shows that he has great hands in front of the net.

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...

At least that one’s a guaranteed suspension.

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

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.

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.
