Nhl all star game in montreal

I don't like him, not even for an All-Star Game. Montreal first staged the game, the seventh in NHL history, following their seventh Stanley Cup win the previous April. Played Oct. A crowd of 14, saw their legend-to-be assist on Richard's third-period goal -- the Canadiens' only score in a loss, stymied by Detroit goalie Terry Sawchuk's 30 saves.

Video: Terry Sawchuk was four-time Vezina-winning goalie. But it wasn't a total loss for the home team, as each member was given leather shaving kits and gold stick-pins by manager Frank Selke to celebrate their League title and gifted with silver rose bowls from the NHL. Players from both teams were showered with shoes, lighters, blazers, sweater coats, hats and fishing rods.

Perhaps the two most memorable of Montreal's 12 games were for, of all things, goaltending, in and In the first, Canadiens coach Toe Blake rotated Gump Worsley and Charlie Hodge a dozen times, roughly every five minutes, in a loss to the all-stars. For just two examples, neither No. At least, it raises the stakes for whoever gets to go and compete in the All-Star Skills Competition, right? You can probably see where this is going.

The final rosters will be announced the evening of Thursday, Dec. It should be pointed out those initial NHL. Put simply, Wideman is not having an All-Star-caliber campaign.

Lucas Raymond , Detroit Red Wings. Drake Batherson , Ottawa Senators. Aaron Ekblad , Florida Panthers. Rasmus Dahlin , Buffalo Sabres. Chris Wideman , Montreal Canadiens. Andrei Vasilevskiy , Tampa Bay Lightning. Jack Campbell , Toronto Maple Leafs. Scouting report: There are two changes to the roster in this round of voting: Batherson is in for Tyler Toffoli of the Canadiens at forward and Wideman is in for Chabot at defenseman.

This is still a team to be reckoned with, anchored by Vasilevskiy, the goalie for each of the past two Stanley Cup championships. How good is this team? Hedman, a perennial Norris Trophy candidate and another bedrock of the Lightning dynasty, didn't make the final cut. Campbell is the other goalie, and he has been near the top of the NHL in save percentage and goals-against average most of the season, but it's a question as to whether either goalie will even see the puck, as the forwards are likely to spend quite a bit of time in the offensive zone.

Huberdeau, Stamkos, Matthews and Marchand are each averaging better than a point per game this season. Alex Ovechkin , Washington Capitals captain. Artemi Panarin , New York Rangers. Jake Guentzel , Pittsburgh Penguins. Sebastian Aho , Carolina Hurricanes. Claude Giroux , Philadelphia Flyers. Chris Kreider , New York Rangers.

Adam Fox , New York Rangers. Dougie Hamilton , New Jersey Devils. Zach Werenski , Columbus Blue Jackets. If you don't see it, please check your junk folder. The next issue of Montreal Gazette Headline News will soon be in your inbox.
