Tomas Kaberle Enjoying Revival in Montreal, and Bruins Are Happy Former Teammate Has Found Success Again

PLAYERS: Tomas Kaberle
TEAMS: Montreal Canadiens

BOSTON -- Tomas Kaberle may have finally found a home. The veteran puck-moving defenseman has been doing more moving away from the rink in the past year. After being traded from Toronto to Boston last February and winning a Cup with the Bruins, Kaberle cashed in this summer as a free agent with a three-year, $12.75-million deal in Carolina. It was a deal that raised plenty of eyebrows around the league after Kaberle's struggles in Boston, and the Hurricanes soon came to regret it. Carolina eventually was able to unload him on Montreal on Dec. 9 in a trade for...

Canadiens/Bruins Post Game, Sutter, Red Line and More

Via HabsAddict.com  |  December 20, 2011
That was rough start to the season's longest road trip, wasn't it? Last night the Canadiens fell to the Bruins 3-2. Although the effort was there, turnovers absolutely killed the Habs. P.K Subban's less than slick between the legs pass and Travis Moen's inability to clear the zone proved costly. It is one thing to make mistakes. It is another thing to make mistakes...

Afternoon puck addicts! So the big news of the day (year?) is that the Montreal Canadiens fired head coach Jacques Martin. You've likely heard most of the details by now but, suffice it to say that the change to Randy Cunneyworth didn't yield great results against the Devils last night.

Wish Cunneyworth Luck. He Will Need It

Via The Hockey Guy  |  December 19, 2011
Canadiens general manager Pierre "The Ghost" Gauthier proved his desperation when he fired respected assistant coach Perry Pearn. That sent a message to head coach Jacques Martin that he would be next. Montreal kept lumbering along at a .500 pace, so Gauthier fired Martin, too. He installed English-speaking Randy Cunneyworth as the next coach -- put him in an almost impossible...

Gauthier's Big Gamble As Habs fans have no doubt read in Eric Engels most recent entry, though Jacques Martin was responsible for his fair share of the Habs foibles this season, he wasn't alone. Yet, having moved forward in ousting the conservative coach, everyone waits for the other shoe to drop. That other shoe, of course, is Pierre Gauthier. Left as the other...

Problem #13 in Montreal

It is generally expected that when things don’t go according to plan, that people look to point the finger at someone else. This is especially prevalent in sports, and even more so in Montreal when it comes to the Canadiens. If the Habs so much as lose 2-3 games in a row, fans will start calling for people to be fired and players to be traded. The most recent scapegoats have been...
