When I was a teenager I read a book by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale called “The Power of Positive Thinking.” I didn’t do me one bit of good. I continued to think that my pimples were never going away and I wouldn’t be getting laid any time soon. However, I believe there’s some positives regarding the Habs and their injuries.

From friend of the blog Jim Cerny at Rink Rap: I am not sure if it’s a black cloud or a full moon, but there’s something wreaking havoc on the National Hockey League so far this season.

from Sean Gordon of the Globe and Mail, We take great pride in knowing our beloved city and province inside and out, but it doesn’t mean we aren’t surprised by new things from time to time. For instance: we had no idea Montreal was a really dangerous place to be a left foot. Just ask Brian Gionta’s podiatrist. Or Hal Gill’s, or Andrei Markov’s (or short-track speed skater...
- If you're holding onto Jean-Sebastien Giguere thinking he's going to get traded to the Detroit Red Wings, think again. There are a lot of rumors floating around about Giggy getting dealt to Detroit, but unless Brian Rafalski is part of that deal, its simply not possible due to the salary cap. Detroit's front office has also come out and said that they are not interested in Giguere and are happy...
via Pat Hickey of Habs Inside/Out, Right wing Brian Gionta will be out of the Canadiens indefinitely with a broken bone in his left foot. Gionta said he suffered the injury when he was struck by a shot in the Nov. 3 game against Atlanta.

Fleury steers is away. 19:10: Bourque takes the ice along with Malkin and Fedotenko. 17:35: Jordan Staal coasts down the right wing and backhands a pass into the slot. Matt Cooke is there but can't get a clean shot off. Craig Adams has taken Kennedy's place on the third line. We guess Dupuis is stuck...

Forget about Marc Staal and Dan Girardi being split up, at least for the start of this game - John Tortorella had been contemplating the change and had them apart in practice yesterday, but he'll begin tonight's game here in Montreal status quo on the blue line, and that duo can expect to see time against the Canadiens' Mike Cammalleri-Scott Gomez-Brian Gionta line. Donald Brashear will be the scratch...
