Pre-season: Plekanec shines.

The Montreal Canadiens continued their loaded pre-season schedule yesterday, this time the Boston Bruins were the visitors for this match presented in Halifax. The Habs shooted out of the gates early to finally win the game 4-3.

Tomas Plekanec scored the first 3 goals of the game sending the Habs well ahead. The team then cruised all the way to the win. Sergei Kostitsyn, Kyle Chipchura and Ryan O'Byrne were once again the best players coming from the youth squad. Some of them will manage to pierce the lineup for sure.

Today Guy Carbonneau will perform a cut, sending many players with the Hamilton Bulldogs, the team's farm club. We expect at least 10 or 15 cuts today from head coach Carbonneau.
