The Tampa Bay Lightning have agreed to terms to add Alex Tanguay to their roster and I’m really not happy about this one.   First of all, I think the Montreal Canadiens are stupid for dealing this guy away (along with a lot of their talent) and secondly, I hate to see another great player get sucked into the Bolts organization.

I know he’s a little soft but he’s a solid playmaker.  I think Tampa Bay got a good deal here but I don’t know how great it is for Tanguay.  I’ll try to stay optimistic since he really could work well …read more

I never thought I would type those words but Montreal Canadiens captain, Saku Koivu, doesn’t know if he will be returning to the team.  This comes after 14 seasons with the Habs. 
Koivu will become an unrestricted free agency (along with nine of his teammates) on July 1, 2009 but contract negotiations have not been initiated.  "If I’m not signed by July 1, I don’t think I’ll be back in Montreal," Koivu said.

Tanguay is one of my favorite players in the league (if you’re a regular reader, you’ll know I was crushed when the Calgary Flames traded him) so I was thrilled when I saw the highlights last night.  Tanguay, along with fellow veteran, Alex Kovalev and captain Saku Koivu, won this game for Montreal.  …read more

The Montreal Canadiens have been dealt yet another blow.  Winger, Alex Tanguay has been benched for at least 6 weeks with a suspected separated shoulder.  If you have been to this site in the past, you’ll know that Alex is one of my favorite players so I was really unhappy when I heard he was hurt. 
The Habs continue to have horrible luck.  Tanguay joins a long injured list including captain Saku Koivu (foot), goaltender Carey Price (currently day-to-day with lower-body injury), Christopher Higgins (shoulder), Georges Laraque (groin) and Mathieu Dandenault (forearm). 
After discovering that a hip deficiency is causing …read more
