It’s been a busy few days in Hab-land behind the scenes, but the Montreal Canadiens will carry on as usual when they take on the Vancouver Canucks at the Bell Center on Monday. Puck Fall 7:30 pm. (SNE, SNO, SNP, RDS, TSN Radio 690, 98.5 fm)

In case you missed it, general manager Marc Bergevin was relieved of his duties on Sunday, along with assistant general manager Trevor Timmins and vice president of communications Paul Wilson. Earlier today, owner and president Geoff Molson announced the arrival of the new executive vice president of hockey operations, Jeff Gorton. Assistant general manager Scott Mellanby also resigned Saturday.

Habs fans hope nothing touches them in these Gorton years (whop whop whop):

We apologize, but this video could not be loaded.

On ice, no line-up changes are expected. Defender Brett Kulak and Mathieu Perreault practiced in contactless jerseys, and Carey Price skated without a team.
