Habs Nation: Introducing Alex Galchenyuk

For a prospect who only played two regular season games with the Sarnia Sting this year, what happened on Friday night speaks volumes about the type of player he really is.  Alex Galchenyuk was the third player chosen in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, going behind only Nail Yakupov, one of his best friends at Sarnia, and Ryan Murray, the top defenseman available.  Not to mention, he was one of only two forwards chosen in the top-10.

Cammy coming to Calgary

By: Aakash Gulati

Cammy is coming back to town! Flames, as pretty much the entire fanbase will know, re-acquired Michael Cammalleri in a trade that sees Bourque going to Montreal along with Patrick Holland and a 2nd round pick in 2013. Flames in addition to the winger, get Karri Ramo back as well as a 5th round pick in 2012.

First win

By Aakash Gulati Flames won their first game of the season against Montreal and that too by a decent margin of 4-1. After two stinking losses against the pens and the blues, finding the win column is definitely a good feeling. Going into Toronto with a win will be a feel good factor. In Toronto we will be up against ex-flames Phaneuf and Lombardi and the game should be a fun one for a Saturday. Well before moving on let us see how the Montreal game went.

Draft Debacle, Canadiens continue to miss at the Draft.

Forty years ago the annual NHL entry draft was headlined by the Montreal Canadiens and their genius general manger, Sam Pollock, who took Guy Lafleur first overall. Then Murray Wilson, then Larry Robinson, and with the years that followed, Pollock continued to draft well and build a dynasty.
