Twas the day before training camp, and all through Bell Centre, were the players of the Montreal Canadiens, the cities epicentre.
Not the strongest rhyme, but you get the tone I was going for. Training camp is right around the corner! However, rookie camp is still technically taking place. The Habs sent eight players back to junior Tuesday including draft picks Allan McShane and Cam Hillis. Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Lukas Vejdemo, and Will Bitten to name a few will have a final practice at the Bell Sports Complex. Afterwards, those remaining 22 players are off to join members of the main team.
