It’s Montreal Canadiens day on PHT

Montreal Canadiens

Welcome to the start of our offseason initiative -- 30 teams in 30 days.

From now until Aug. 14 we’ll be dedicating each day to a new team by recapping the offseason and looking ahead to 2012-13.

There’ll also be a series of posts looking at key stories, player profiles and burning questions regarding each squad.

Today, we begin with one of the most storied franchises in hockey history, the Montreal Canadiens.

Les Habitants are coming off a disappointing campaign that saw them finish with 78 points -- their lowest total since the lockout -- and a last-place finish in the Eastern Conference.

Following the season, sweeping changes were made. Marc Bergevin became the 17th GM in club history and he proceeded to overhaul both the coaching staff -- most notably by hiring head coach Michel Therrien -- and the front office.

Bergevin also added toughness to the lineup with free agent acquisitions Colby Armstrong and Brandon Prust, and extended the contract of starting goalie Carey Price.

So, what does the future have in store for the Canadiens? Stick around PHT today to find out.
