| Recent Blog Post: Improved Prospects For Habs' Road Trip |
The schedule makers seemed to be giving the Canadiens a hard time of it this week, calling for five games in eight days, all on the road. But Les Bleu, Blanc et Rouge answered the call Sunday night with a 4-3, come-from-behind win in Beantown. Suddenly, the rest of the week looks quite a bit brighter.
Of the remaining four games, only one is against a team with a winning record. That would be Thursday night’s trip to Raleigh to face the Hurricanes. But two factors make that game significantly easier for the Canadiens: The ‘Canes are a so-so team at home (5-4-0, compared with 7-4-1 on the road), and Carolina’s starting goalie, Cam Ward, is out for at least a month and a half with an MCL sprain. Backup Dan Ellis has played well (3-2-0, 2.53, .923), but beyond question, the Carolina coaching staff would much rather have Ward between the pipes.
The other games on the slate are against sub-.500 teams: the Islanders (9-11-2) on Tuesday; the Bolts (9-11-1) on Saturday; and the Panthers (6-11-5, last in the Eastern Conference) on Sunday. Tampa Bay is better than its record would indicate, but there’s a good chance that the Habs could come out of this five-game swing with something like eight points, counting the two that they already have in their pocket, courtesy of the Bruins.
A couple of final points: Montreal doesn’t feature any elite-level scorers, except perhaps Max Pacioretty. But you may want to give an edge to the team’s skaters this week. The Panthers, Islanders, and Lightning are among the worst four teams in the NHL in goals allowed per game. Tampa Bay and Carolina are #1 and #6, respectively, in goals scored per game, so you might ponder sitting Carey Price on those nights, particularly if you have a strong alternative in the crease.

| The Panthers on Thursday announced a full American Hockey League affiliation with the Rochester Americans. For the past three seasons, the Panthers and Buffalo Sabres shared an affiliation with Rochester. Florida will supply the Americans with a full roster of players for the 2008-09 season. Established in 1956, the Americans are the second-longest running franchise in the AHL, having won six Calder Cups as league champions.

| Peter DeBoer was named as the new head coach of the Florida Panthers on Friday. The Ontario native will be formally introduced by the Panthers during a news conference Monday.
DeBoer, 40, was a front-runner to fill the Ottawa Senators’ coaching vacancy after guiding the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League to a 53-11-0-4 record this past season. But the Senators ultimately hired Craig Hartsburg, who was officially introduced Friday morning.
DeBoer takes over for Jacques Martin, who coached the Panthers for the past three seasons. Martin was relieved of his duties in April but stayed with the club, becoming the general manager. DeBoer also coached the Plymouth Whalers and Detroit Whalers of the OHL prior to joining Kitchener, where he spent the last seven seasons. He is one of five coaches to ever win 500 games in the OHL, recording 539 career victories. Florida has not made the playoffs since 2000 and has finished no better than third in the Southeast Division in each of the past five seasons. The Panthers went 38-35-9 this past campaign. |
