The 2008-09 season is a major one to the Montreal Canadiens, as 2009 marks the 鈥渙riginal 6鈥?team鈥檚 one-hundredth year as being a franchise. To acknowledge this milestone, Montreal鈥檚 Bell Centre will host the 57th annual NHL All-Star game on January 25 and the 59th Entry Draft in June.
The Canadiens have likewise made some significant transactions on the 2008-09 off-season. However the team could not capture Mats Sundin the way it had hoped, the Canadiens were able to sign veteran forwards Robert Lang and Alex Tanguay and enforcer George Laraque to lucrative contracts.
Lang, Tanguay and Laraque now join an already impressive Canadiens lineup, which include Andrei Markov, Saku Koivu and Alex Kovalev. The lineup includes young goaltender Casey Price in net. The 2008-09 season will mark the Vancouver-born goaltender鈥檚 second season as both a Canadien and also a professional hockey player. Within the rookie year last year, Price recorded a 0.920 Save Percentage including a 2.56 Goals Against Average.
With the 2008-09 season now well underway, the Montreal Canadiens feel the being placed in one of the many top spots in a choice of their division and conference. In '09, the Canadiens went to the playoffs, but lost while in the conference semifinals, in the Philadelphia Flyers. This year鈥檚 team looks to visit two steps further and convey the Stanley Cup to Montreal now since 1993.
