Because of the new NHL Covid protocol, the Canadiens executives and players have to be exposed as little as possible so they will not take part in the annual tournament. This year it will feature Habs alumni. Considering that the 4th wave is currently taking flight in Montreal, it’s probably not a bad thing. Besides, Bergevin recently spoke to the media and for now, there isn’t that much to say. Well, except maybe about Jonathan Drouin but we’ll hear about that in Chantal Machabée’s exclusive one on one with him on RDS on September 20th.



Speaking of the NHL Covid protocols, former Canadiens defenseman and farm team head-coach Sylvain Lefebvre was hired as an assistant-coach by the Columbus Blue Jackets in July but was fired today for refusing to get the Covid vaccine. According to the protocol, NHL coaches and other team staff who closely interact with players are required to be fully vaccinated.

Another sign that the wait for the start of the season will shortly be over is the fact that the NHL held its media day today in Toronto. For the Habs, Tyler Toffoli and Nick Suzuki were on duty. There are now only 9 days left until the Canadiens’ training camp kicks off, as for the rookie camp, it will start on Wednesday September 15.
