The #Alouettes have clinched first in the East thanks to Sask’s win over Ottawa! First time the Als will host the East Final since 2012!

@brendanshowbiz Yes, I know what the job is and I feel like those questions are asked by myself and others (I dunno if RDS\TVA air them tho) - but my point is they (the players & mgmt) don’t go there on a day like today… for them this is a “hope springs eternal” kinda day… that’s all

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

@brendanshowbiz But I did ask molson about the economy and high prices to attend games… all he responded was they’re trying to build a team and they’re handling their business…

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

@brendanshowbiz overall.. it’s hard to be negative on day one when hope springs eternal… it’s like trying to ask newly weds about everything they went wrong in previous relationships on their wedding day. They won’t go there.

Montembeault - says hoping to be good enough to be in conversation to be one of 3 goalies part of team Canada at four nations face off this winter #Habs

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

Dach says that “everything happens for a reason” re: getting injured last season and he took time to learn from press box and it doesn’t feel like a “lost season” #Habs

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

Matheson says it’s clear that every team is saying at this time of year things like “in the mix” and playoffs is at least the goal. But what makes it real for him with #Habs is what he’s seen over last few seasons and how things have been building

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

Suzuki says #Habs are “being slept on pretty hard right now” and he likes being in that position

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

Suzuki says he knows mgmt has been saying “in the mix” a lot. For him it means at least being in the thick of the race for a playoff spot at the end of the season #Habs

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

On getting Laine, he says it doesn’t really feel like a reward like Hughes said but it is exciting to have a him here.

Says he really doesn’t want to be “sellers” at the trade deadline again this year #Habs

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

Slafkovsky says he’s set some goals for this season but he isn’t going to share what they are. Says he’ll let us know if he reached them at the end of the season #Habs

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

Caufield “were trending in the right direction” #Habs

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

Laine says he’s learned that this is just a game and there is always another one and that this year will be a good test mentally for him. Adds that he’s entering his prime and has many good years to come.

“I’m here to have a good time”

#Habs

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

Laine re: his expectations that he wants to stay healthy & have fun. Says it’s no secret last few years have been tough but he’s confident that if he can stay on ice & have fun it will all come together. Says he thinks it’s great fans here care & get pissed with losing #Habs

[Douglas Gelevan @DGelevan]

St Louis says aside from Laine there is not a lot of changes. He likes the continuity & believes it will help them this season. Very excited about roster “a lot it be excited about”

For him being “in the mix” means sticking to the process and it will all come together
