After months of speculation, yet only hours after his agent appeared on the TEAM 990 reassuring all Montrealers that Carey Price would, in fact be at the Habs training camp this season, it was finally announced that the anointed number one goaltender has now officially signed a two year deal with the club.
So much for those pundits and naysayers that predicted Price was contemplating foregoing Hockey altogether in order to pursue his passion for the rodeo..
As per the official team press release (below), financial terms were not divulged. A media phone press conference will take place at 4:45 today where more news and details are expected to come forth. It is believed the total amount for the 2 seasons is 5.25 Million.
Please read on for the official Habs press release.

Can this be a repeat of last season's USL Championship run? Hopes are high again after the Impact defeated longtime rival and the best team in the USSF in the Rochester Rhinos 2-0 at Saputo Stadium tonight. Last season began with much controversy, and then after a coaching change and some roster moves, the Impact came together in time to make it into the playoffs and took it all the way to win a championship.

So yes, the Montreal Alouettes dominated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers by 22 points last night at Percival Molson Stadium, winning 39-17, but Als fans can be sure that they would have given up 21 of those points if it meant not seeing future HOF QB Anthony Calvillo go down to what was later described as a rib injury in the 2nd Quarter. Calvillo and the Alouettes were dominating the Blue Bombers, having scored 3 TD's, one by special teams, and the other two with emerging star SJ Green lunging both teams to get the 6 points. Leak did a decent job filling in for Calvillo the rest of the way by going 10 of 15 for 99 yards, but it was truly Brandon Whitaker (no relation to me) who kept the Bombers at by with 2 much needed rushing touchdowns after Winnipeg had brought it to within 7 points.

Before you jump to outlandish conclusions, and while I won’t say that the contract negotiations between Carey Price and the Habs are going as quickly as I’d like them, this goalie trade between Montreal and Tampa Bay is strictly an AHL transaction. The Canadiens have just announced that they have traded Cédric Désjardins for Karri Ramo.

So the pillaging of Montreal Canadiens talent, both roster and management, continues. You'd think that with all this demand for Canadiens', they'd have won something in the last 17 years...That being said, one has to wonder if this is a sign that perhaps the talks with Carey Price and his agent are a bit more heated than previously reported. While Ramo is not a bonafide NHL caliber starter by any stretch of the imagination, he does have decent NHL level statistics on what was a less than decent NHL team. However, he is in the 2nd of a 2 year deal to play with the Omsk Avangard of the KHL. Here is the official Press Release:
MONTREAL -- Montreal Canadiens general manager Pierre Gauthier announced Monday the acquisition of goaltender Karri Ramo from the Tampa Bay Lightning, in return for netminder Cédrick Desjardins.

Turnabout is fair play, one would assume, but the Toronto Argonauts didn’t have to rub it in the Alouettes’ faces did they? The Argos were all over Montreal en route to a 37-22 victory.
