i totally missed this yesterday -- the Montreal Canadiens actually moved on the trading front and nabbed themselves the incredibly talented Alexei Kovalev.
this surprised the hell outta me. of course they were looking around for at least one big player, but to actually get kovalev is amazing. we don't do that, other teams do. we usually get draft picks and bit players. this is so cool for the team. he was supposed to play last night but i couldn't watch the game so i don't know who he's playing with. gonna see saturday night. it's gonna be good :)
because of the looming lock-out next season, though, this is sadly a playoff trade. hopefully there'll be a season next fall and Montreal will re-sign the player. it's just too good to be true :) this team is picking up speed. all hail mr Bob Gainey.
