The arrival of Jeff Gorton has brought a positive breeze back to the most decorated franchise in hockey. Three days ago, we saw him make his very first move since Geoff Molson hired him as the new Vice President of Hockey Operations, claiming former Los Angeles Kings defenceman Kale Clague off waivers. Clague went straight into the team for Tuesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, getting paired with Brett Kulak for his Habs debut.
Another player who has been waiting considerably longer for his first game in a Canadiens uniform is Laval sharpshooter Laurent Dauphin.
