Video : Samuel Blais and Cayden Primeau in their new colors

Seeing Primeau in a Leafs uniform feels weird. We’ve been used to seeing him in a Canadiens jersey for the past few years, and now he’s gone over to the enemy, but I thought it was just as special to see Primeau in his Leafs gear. Remember: even in Carolina, Primeau played games in his old Canadiens helmet, and now, less than 24 hours after being called for waivers by the Leafs, he’s already got his new stock…

We can’t necessarily expect Primeau to be in front of his new club’s net for the game… but I wonder if Blais will be in uniform. And I tend to think that if he is, the Québécois will have a field day making the Canadiens look bad. We know he’s capable of being physical on the ice (we’ve seen it in the Habs’ preseason games), and if he starts shaking down the Habs players, it’s going to make for a funny moment… It’s always special to see former Canadiens players wearing the colors of another NHL team, but it seems even more so when it’s the Leafs we’re talking about. It reminds me of seeing Tomas Plekanec and Max Pacioretty in Leaf blue: it’s just… weird. It’ll take some getting used to, I guess!
