The Canadian begins its season at home this Saturday evening by hosting the Chicago Blackhawks, and the visit of Connor Bedard is causing ticket prices to skyrocket! The Canadian also returns from a visit and a first game with the Leafs in Toronto. Did this first game teach us anything and, if so, what? And from this match, who came back with one mention up and one mention down?

Meanwhile, there are still three goalkeepers in front of the Montreal net and we wonder if that can last. Another juicy detail: GM Kent Hughes suggested that the Canadian could be in buying mode if he is ever in the playoff race. Finally, we look at the vagaries of the salary cap and another questionable move on the ice.
