Video: Tomas Plekanec's breakaway attempt was pretty awful
Tomas Plekanec probably wishes you didn't see that. In on a breakaway against Tuukka Rask, Plekanec failed to get a shot off, instead mishandling the puck and sending it straight to the corner boards. As if wasting a scoring chance wasn't bad enough, the Montreal Canadiens were called for "Too many men on the ice" shortly after Plekanec's embarrassing misfire...
Eric Engels: Montreal Canadiens: Up the Middle
Some people thought I was taking a rip at Tomas Plekanec for suggesting another season with him, Desharnais and Eller as the top centres of the team would almost guarantee another playoff miss.
To clarify, Desharnais' proven he can produce.
Is he as versatile a player as Plekanec is? Absolutely not.
Eller has improved throughout the season, and seems poised to become...
Plekanec Could Waive NTC
from Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette at Hockey Inside/Out, Tomas Plekanec, who has been with the Canadiens his entire NHL career, has been the subject of talks with several teams.

While Plekanec...

Video: Plekanec Wins Faceoff Into Own Net
Tomas Plekanec is one the NHL's elite faceoff men, but tonight against the Boston Bruins he wishes that he had lost at least one more faceoff. During the first period tonight he beat Patrice Bergeron on a defensive zone draw, but the puck went back towards netminder Carey Price who completely whiffed on the moving the puck to the corner and instead had it end up in his own net...

TAKES TWO TO TANGO
Habs' Plekanec, Price team up for own goal
Montreal Canadiens’ Tomas Plekanec had a great goal off of a faceoff this evening against the Boston Bruins. Unfortunately for Tomas and Carey Price, the Canadiens goaltender, the puck ended up in the wrong net.
