Puckpedia came up with 28 submitted rosters out of the 32. And guess what? Montreal is among the 4 missing :facepalm:

Just wanted to know who they did paper. Did they put RHP on LTIR prior to submitting?
Last year Montreal did expressively announce its paper transactions on Twitter, did the league veto it this year?

I don't think the league vetoed it, unless they miscalculated things.

They was articles about who is being shipped to Laval and who was at practices yesterday on the official website. Looks like they don't care to explain how they are meeting the cap requirement.

Tell me Montreal has intentionally played horrendously, it's like that they haven't got a clue how to play hockey, simply terrible boring hockey.

In this day & age of athletes training 12-months a year does pre season really add any value other than cash grab for ownership?

I wouldn’t use pre season as a data point for any kind of team based evaluation

Yay!!!

Since you asked,, sure seems like a cash grab. The way the vets and coaches go about the games is rather non-beneficial,can yield better feedback during intense practices.

I was kinda annoyed about ABB over Kapanen at first but with our first game at home I can understand letting him have that moment with his family since he likely won't be with the Habs all year.
Don't be annoyed by ABB over Kapanen, be annoyed by Anderson over anybody.

not to mention the regular season could start 2 weeks earlier and end before the summer solstice.

We're going to be 1-1-1

Toronto Close OT Loss
Boston Surprise W
Ottawa Deflating L bringing us back to earth.....
We are in a terrible slump against Ottawa. 9 losses in a row (in reg season). Ottawa averaging 5 goals per game during that stretch.
