The Canadiens are making changes at training camp, they have now divided the players into two groups, A and B.
Terry Kirby Jersey . Group A is the team that will most resemble what the Canadiens opening night roster might look with the addition of a few top prospects. Those prospects include; Nathan Beaulieu, Jarred Tinordi, Greg Pateryn, Jacob De La Rose, Nikita Scherbak, Jiri Sekac and goaltender Dustin Tokarski. Michel Therrien stressed that players in group B will still have the chance to make the team and will continue to be used in the pre-season games. The decision to split the group was so Therrien can focus on preparing the majority of his team for the start of the season on Oct. 8 in Toronto we only have six full practice days from now until the start of the season and we need to take advantage of them as best we can Therrien explained. He is also looking to prepare his goaltenders; the Canadiens announced on Tuesday that Zach Fucale was sent back to his junior team the Halifax Mooseheads before having the opportunity to take part in a pre-season game. It wasnt because of a poor performance, in fact coaches and management were very impressed and felt he had a better camp than last year. But right now the focus is on the immediate goaltending future and that is getting Carey Price, Peter Budaj and Tokarski more playing time before the start of the season. Beginning on Friday in Quebec City each goaltender will get to play a full exhibition game. It has been no secret that the backup goaltender job is up for grabs and this will be the chance for Budaj and Tokarski to show who wants it more.

Michael van Gerwen admitted he was not at his best despite a comfortable win over James Wade Sky Sports expert Mardle admits that Van Gerwen will be hard to stop when the sports top competition starts next month, if he maintains his dominant form.I think it will just be a travesty. Ive said this before, hes too good to win one, Mardle told Sky Sports. Hes so dominant now, it would take a?Barney-like performance this year to stop him. Wayne Mardle onn Michael van Gerwen We know no-one deserves anything, no-one deserves to be given a world title, but hes been unlucky.
Matt Light Jersey. Hes played Phil [Taylor] in a final, hes played an inspired Gary Anderson when he got beaten in the semi-final. An inspired Raymond van Barneveld.Hes so dominant now, it would take a Barney-like performance this year to stop him. Those performances are not always there from everyone, are they? Wade was disappointed with his performance against Van Gerwen Wade briefly held a 3-1 lead over Van Gerwen and moved to within three legs during a brief rally, but Mardle never felt that Mighty Mike was under serious threat at the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton.James didnt play particularly well, so Michael did enough, said Mardle. I didnt think at any point Michael was going to let that slip. From 11-8, he ran out the winner without dropping another leg. Hes just so dominant, he really is.
