All Star Break!

Its party time in Montreal this weekend. The NHL has all kinds of events taking place, and will be showcasing some of the best players in the NHL in the Skills Competition on Saturday, followed by the big game on Sunday. Losers of their last two, the Canadiens will have an opportunity to clear their minds and reset for the second half of the season. While many fans have been pleasantly surprised by the play of Robert Lang and Andrei Markov, most are hoping for better things from stars such as Alex Kovalev and Andrei Kostitsyn. The break will be important in order to rest some of the bumps and bruises that have accumulated through the first 46 games of the season. Hopefully the game is entertaining and we’re hoping for a good showing from the Canadiens players involved.
