Deadline date in the NHL

Yesterday, it was the deadline date for trades in the NHL. Usually, a lot of trades are made at this date because all the teams that will participate in the playoffs want to complete their teams to have a chance to win the Stanley Cup. But this year, not a lot of trades have been made and no very talented player has moved to another team. But Mister Pierre Gauthier (the general manager of the Montreal’s Canadians) has moved a little bit: he traded the right wing Andrei Kostitsyn, who has 24 points this season in 54 games, for a 2^nd draft pick in 2013. So, A. Kostitsyn will join his brother Sergei and his old teammate Hall Gill with the Predators of Nashville. Moreover, Mister Gauthier has made the acquisition of Brad Staubitz who was a free player. This player will add muscles to the CH with because he is a very big “go on” player. The Canadians will play their next game tonight against the Lightning of Tampa Bay. Good week everybody!

A Big Sprint for Montreal’s Canadians

We are close to the end of the regular season in the NHL. Presently, Montreal’s Canadians are at the 13^th position in the East division. They need 6 points to get a position in the playoffs and this position belongs to Toronto’s Maple Leafs. Moreover, just 22 games are left for them so, they will have to win the big majority of them if they want to participate at the playoffs for a fifth consecutive year. And they will start their final sprint with the next game which is tonight against the Stars of Dallas at the Bell Centre in Montreal. In this game, the centre Tomas Plekanec will be absent because of a flu but the left wing Eric Cole will be back even if he is not in a perfect shape.

Good game everybody!
