This rumor has been hot and the response has been mixed on whether Habs fans would like to see Jagr in the "blue-blanc et rouge" or not.  For all the fans waiting to see Jagr play with the Habs and seeing Jagr and Plekanec united on a line, we have some disappointing news.  It seems that the Habs and Jaromir Jagr are too far apart.  Our sources have confirmed that Jagr's camp is interested in a 2 years deal with no trade clause and that Montreal is not interested in such a deal.

The Montreal Canadiens head coach Jacques Martin confirmed earlier today that forward Andrei Kostitsyn, fondly known among the fans as AK46, will be a healthy scratch going into tonight's game against the Dallas Stars.  According to Coach Martin, Kostitsyn, who has not scored a goal for the last nine games, has not been showing the required intensity in his game play.  Martin hopes that benching Kostitsyn will also send a message to some other veteran players who are in a similar boat.

With 2 goals and 2 assists for a total of 4 points in 6 games Andrei Kostitsyn is off to a good start for the 2010-2011 season.
