Michael Cammalleri: A Fried Calamari in Montreal?

Montreal Canadiens' sniper Michael Cammalleri made the news yesterday, not because of his play on the ice, but rather because of inflammatory comments he made to journalists Arpon Basu of NHL.com and Francois Gagnon of RDS and La Presse. After practice, Cammalleri said, "I can't accept that we will display a losing attitude as we're doing this year. We prepare for...

Mike Cammalleri won't have to worry about the Canadiens' "losing mentality" any more. According to Sportsnet, the Habs winger has been traded to the Calgary Flames.

This...

How the Habs Won and Lost the Cammalleri Trade

On the surface; the Mike Cammalleri-Rene Bourque swap is a push. Both players were struggling on their respective teams this year and will likely be better off with a fresh start elsewhere. Cammalleri is a more skilled and dynamic player than Bourque, but over the past few years, their production is virtually the same in terms of goals. The difference between the two is how they...

BOSTON -- With its rabid fan base and media contingent, there's never a shortage of drama in the soap opera surrounding the Montreal Canadiens.

Final thoughts on Cammalleri, Habs-Sens

The Habs face the Sens tonight. I said they had to win 2 of 3 on Thursday, and they lost to Boston, so this is it. Win today, win tomorrow, or I really think the playoff chase is out of gas. We won’t know for sure until, in my opinion, the end of January, but this team is running on fumes, and a win tonight would help move it forward at least a little bit. As for Mike Cammalleri...

Montreal Canadiens Trade Analysis: Michael Cammalleri For Rene Bourque

Montreal Canadiens General Manager, Pierre Gauthier, started a serious retooling of his team last night in earnest. His first salvo, in what is sure to see more fireworks to come, was to ship disgruntled forward, Michael Cammalleri, to Calgary with goaltending prospect Karri Rammo and a 5th round pick in this year's draft. In return, the Habs get for Rene Bourque, a second...

A quick note on Cammalleri

Did he say anything out of line? The team has been terrible. Much worse since the coaching change. Any chance of the playoffs is fading fast. Montreal this year has become the hockey equivalent of People Magazine. The tiniest comment from anyone of significance is blown way out of proportion. Lighten up, people. Cammalleri wants to win just as much as anybody else, if not more....

Cammalleri, Other Wingers Pick Up Scoring Pace

Once upon a time Mike Cammalleri was a 39-goal scorer in the NHL. He will try to regain that form in Calgary after arriving from Montreal in a trade.His goal totals have plunged to 26 and 19 the past two seasons. In his first 35 games this season he scored just nine goals and added just 13 assists. Before his trade to the Flames, he picked up his pace with 11 points during a 15-game...

Michael Cammalleri Traded Mid-Game To Calgary

This is a strange story. Michael Cammalleri was traded to the Calgary Flames this evening, just a day after he made some disparaging remarks about his former team, the Montreal Canadiens. Habs’ GM Pierre Gauthier claims the comments had nothing to do with the trade, but it sure is bizarre timing. As we all know, the city of Montreal lives and breathes hockey, so it probably would...

Mike Cammalleri traded from Canadiens to Flames...mid game

Montreal Canadiens traded one of their alternate captains, forward Mike Cammalleri, to the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. Usually this would be newsworthy in itself, but the circumstances in which Cammalleri was dealt make this story pretty incredible. Cammalleri was pulled off the ice during the Canadiens Thursday night...

Cammalleri to Return and The Importance of Good Starts

Michael Cammalleri emphatically declared himself ready to play tonight, and in French no less. "Allons-y" were his exact words. His return will hopefully spark an inconsistent Habs offense. In between five goal outburts against both Winnipeg and Colorado, Montreal has only managed two goals in its other three contests. Pittsburgh will certainly be weary of his return. The...

Cammalleri’s Season Goes up in Flames…

If you haven’t heard, the Canadians and Flames paired up for a trade.  It was essentially Michael Cammalleri for Rene Bourque (there were draft picks & inconsequential players involved also).  In the short term it looks like a win for Calgary.  Camm-Camm should fit in nicely with the Flames, and as long as he’s healthy I think this trade will help him.  Cammalleri...

Ty Anderson: Cammalleri, fellow losers come to Boston; Three B's heading to Ottawa

There was a time when the Montreal Canadiens were untouchable. Now? Well, just about everybody is fair game when it comes to the blame-game.

In a city where calling out teammates would typically show the leadership qualities of X and how Y and Z could learn a thing or do from his heart, the words coming out of Mike...
