► Bozon says thanks
- Canadiens prospect Tim Bozon visited Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon this week to thank staff for their care during his bout with Neisseria meningitis earlier this year.
- Some of the medical staff will be in attendance at tonight’s game between the Kootenay Ice and the Saskatoon Blades as guests of Bozon.
- Bozon: “It’s a miracle, I know. Now I know I’ve got to enjoy the life and be thankful for everything that happened to me.”
► Malhotra shares his secret
- It’s very evident that veteran, Manny Malhotra, is a face-off specialist and everyone knows how crucial a face-off win can be.
- Canadiens’ head coach, Michel Therrien, shared his views on Malhotra’s face-off magic, “It’s one of the reasons why we went out and got him over the summer. We understand the importance of winning face-offs. He does excellent work defensively, too, not only on face-offs. He kills penalties. He’s a huge addition for us, especially because we can use him when the game is on the line. He takes a lot of pride in the fact that he wins those draws. He’s an extraordinary person. He’s a well-respected athlete within our group, and that’s been the case everywhere he’s played. He’s a nice acquisition for us.”
- Malhotra added, “If I’m good at what I do, it’s also because of my technique and my speed. The more you take draws, the better your timing will be. And, I know how other players take draws, too. I’ve got a little book with a page dedicated to each centerman in the NHL. It comes with experience and repetition. I take a lot of pride in my work.”
