HABS OPEN SEASON TONIGHT IN TORONTO AGAINST THE LEAFS
Tonight in Toronto, the Montreal Canadiens will open the season against the Leafs. Habs goaltender Carey Price will get the start tonight in goal. As for the Leafs, Vesa Toskala will get the start for Toronto. The Canadiens will try to erase memories of the 8th place finish in the 2008-2009 season, with a fresh start. Which Habs G.M Bob Gainey has tried to do in the summer by getting so many new faces. Paul Mara said he is impressed with the chemistry that they have built in the dressing room."I've been in a lot of locker rooms and the way this group came together, it's been extremely easy," said Mara. "The personalities in here have meshed and clicked extremely well and there shouldn't be any problems."
"We have lots of new faces but the chemistry is good," said Hamrlik. "I think it's a good thing to go to Toronto for some team bonding and spend some time with the new guys. We're like a big family and we have to stick together." Scott Gomez is going to be placed on the top line with Brian Gionta and Mike Cammalleri and Gomez said he has alot to prove this season. "We both know that me and Gionta have something to prove this season," Gomez Said." There's no better place to prove yourself but in Montreal." The puck drop for tonight's game will be at 7:08pm E.t on CBC and or RDS.
