Hockey wise, we were treated to an excellent Winter Classic in Philadelphia which saw the Rangers come back to win 3-2.
And the World Junior Championship has conspired to give fans some classic hockey clashes, with Canada-Russia and Finland-Sweden facing off in the Semifinal.
All in all, it has been a rejuvenating and refreshing few days.
Clearly, that was not the case for the Montreal Canadiens.
Concluding their road trip with a miserable 1-5 record, the Habs look anything but refreshed. Heck, even P.K Subban and Tomas Plekanec came to blows at practice yesterday.
Meanwhile, Pierre Gauthier publicly apologized for the lack of a French speaking coach. Wonder if he would have done that had Randy Cunneyworth gone on a winning tear instead of a continued slide?

Louis' Note: Last year, the Devils showed that, even with a dynamite second half, overcoming this kind of hole is near impossible. Sorry Pierre, no playoffs at Bell Centre this spring.

Louis' Note: Mark Spector acts as if Shannahan's suspension will give Torres no choice but to change his game. Right, a two-game suspension in a week where Torres had three questionable, at-best, hits. Talk about sending a message. Oooo.
