Montreal Canadiens defenseman Andrei Markov has been activated from injured reserve and could make his season debut Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks."He's activated and available to us and should everything go as planned he will be in our lineup," said coach Randy Cunneyworth. The decision will be made just prior to the game.Markov has only played seven games in the last two seasons because of two major knee surgeries and another arthroscopic procedure. He tore his ACL in a Nov. 13, 2010, game against the Carolina Hurricanes.The 33-year-old averaged 55 points from 2005-2009, including a career-high 64 in 2008-09.

Via HabsAddict.com  |  March 11, 2012
With only 13 games left to their miserable season, the Montreal Canadiens welcomed back all-star defenseman Andrei Markov to their line-up after a 17-month absence. The result was a convincing 4-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks after a slow start by the Canadiens in the first period during which they were outshot 15-5. But after Ryan Kesler opened the scoring midway through the...

Patrick Roy Among Top Candidates to Join Montreal Canadiens

It goes without saying that the Montreal Canadiens are likely to make changes to the team’s front office and behind the bench following the 2011-2012 season and names of potential replacements are beginning to surface. According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, former Habs goalie Patrick Roy and current Chicago Blackhawks assistant general manager Marc Bergevin are among the...

Rene Bourque a bust in Montreal?

Via Hockey Fan Land  |  March 11, 2012
After struggling this season for the Calgary Flames, Rene Bourque was traded in January to the Montreal Canadiens. Coming the other way was Mike Cammalleri, who had equally lost his scoring touch. It was hoped that a change of scenery would benefit both players. So far, Bourque has gained no such benefit and has been a big disappointment in Montreal. Cammalleri has not exactly...

There have been few bright spots this season for the Montreal Canadiens, but the return of veteran defenseman Andrei Markov certainly qualifies as a highlight. That it came in a 4-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night made it that much better.

There was Andrei Markov, playing his 53rd game in three seasons Saturday, proving that at 70%, he's still better than a lot of other players. But his appearance in the lineup from here to the end of the season will likely inspire more doubt than promise about his future. Will he be able to produce? Absolutely. Will he be exposed, defensively? Absolutely. And we...

30 Goals in 65 Games, and Counting... If there is one positive thing that Bob Gainey is known for in Montreal, it has to be the acquisition of Josh Gorges and a 1st round pick for the services of veteran rear-guard Craig Rivet.
