MAX PACIORETTY RUMORS

The Canadiens have had some excellent performances from their players at the World Championships of hockey. As you undoubtedly know by now, Max Pacioretty has been outstanding for the Americans, popping two goals and nine assists in just seven games. This morning, Alexei Emelin put on a clinic in the Russia-Norway game, notching an assist and scoring what proved to be the winning goal....

Max Pacioretty of the Montreal Canadiens opened the scoring and the United States rolled to a 5-0 victory over defending champion Finland at the ice hockey world championships on Sunday. Kyle Palmieri of the Anaheim Ducks added a goal in the second period, followed two minutes later by a power play goal by Justin Faulk. Chris Butler of the Calgary Flames and Bobby Ryan closed out...

The last game of the season may not have meant much in the standings between two teams both set to miss the playoffs, but Max Pacioretty put a cap on what has been a breakthrough season, registering a goal and an assist to lead the Montreal Canadiens to a 4-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

What is missing from this video is the bad clearing attempt by Carey Price, who with a one goal lead tried his Marty Brodeur imitation, only to have it backfire with Setoguchi goal. You can see that play below and of course, Setoguchi...

Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty has been suspended three games by the NHL for a hit to the head of Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang.

RDS has confirmed that Max Pacioretty received a three-game suspension for his blindside hit on Pittsburgh's Kris Letang. Here's video of the hit if you haven't seen it. So what do you think of the hit? The suspension? Too much? Not enough or just right? --- Kamal is a freelance writer, Senior Writer/Editor-in-Chief of HabsAddict.com and Montreal Canadiens...
