Roman Hamrlik was also involved in the alleged crime that originally just involved the Kostitsyn brothers.Montreal's La Presse newspaper had 5 pages on this story.One of the points in the La Presse newspaper was that the three Canadiens stars are no longer suspects of any criminal activity.
Today,Canadiens general manager Bob Gainey talked to the media about this issue and this is what he had to say:
"I can only go on what I know today, and what I know today is not good. It's not good for our team. It does not reflect well on our team, it does not reflect well on the individuals. It cannot be extinguished as a possible inhibitor to our performance.I'm not naive. I played, I was around, it was a different generation and a different time but when a player does not arrive to perform at his maximum because of his own making he really lets his teammates down.We've made the players aware that this is not the kind of conduct that is part of people in our organization and for them individually as young athletes, as professionals who are trying to attain their goals, that they have to make stronger choices than the person beside them.
We're very concerned because we know that this person who became involved with those players, he's not the only person who wants to find a place to enter the inner area of the hockey team.There are also not good people, who are looking for either trophy friends or the possibility of being close to somebody who earns a million dollars plus, young people who are still developing their ability to reason, take in information, some of them could still be in high school,"he explained.
The Canadiens will look to get back on track at home tomorrow after a lousy road trip where the Habs went 1-4-1.

P.S Kovalev will play tomorrow against the Senators."Ya he will play tomorrow. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't play. Kovalev is still an important aspect to our team," Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau told the media.
