Habs Hire Three, Price, Parise, Goldwater and More

Sylvain Lefebvre - Los Angeles Kings v Colorado Avalanche
Good morning Hab fans!

As you may — or may not — have noticed, I have been absent around these parts for the last few days.

In fact, I tagged along with a friend for a jaunt to New Orleans. My mind, spirit and tastebuds thank me. My arteries, not so much.

In any event, I also feel like I have missed a few things in the hockey world, both with the Canadiens and at large.

So, tell me, what did I miss?

you didn't miss much but we indeed missed you.

Well thank you so much for the kind words! Always nice to get a day going on such a positive note.

Apparently the Habs are going to hire Gerard Gallant as an assistant coach. I think it is a good hire if it's true.

Anyone else heard about this one?

@Hockeyhype. I heard the same. I also heard Clement Jodoin will be aboard as a henchman. I gotta say, I like the way things are shaping up so far.

Alex Kovalev is apparently done with his stint in the KHL and has hopes on re-joining the bleu blanc rouge. (Hmmm. Wonder how his knee is holding up?)

Welcome back from the "Big Easy" Louis. Another town that puts my français to the test!

@HockeyHype

Seems most major networks are confirming Gallant as assistant.

@4everHabs

Kovalev to Habs might get some traction in the media at some point, but I doubt anything will materialize.

As for the Big Easy, I even met some native French speakers in the nearby fishing communities. Crazy they managed to keep their language!
