This morning Colleague Charles-Alexis Brisebois reminded us that Nick Cousins will face the Canadiens again tomorrow night.. And since he attacked Ivan Demidov last time, there is a high probability that he will have a hard time tomorrow.
Remember, in that game Cousins was sent off… for something he said to the refs. So he didn't have to answer for his actions.
And it’s not just the appearance that attracts attention: in the locker room the guys are ready. And after today’s training, Arber Csekay spoke about this.
A man who clearly has no senators in his heart, as you can read about in the article by Jean-François Chaumont.(NHL.com), admitted: everyone in the dressing room remembered this gesture, and he was the first:
Yeah, I'll probably think about it [tomorrow]. – Arber Cekay
On the eve of the season's first showdown between the Canadiens and Senators, Habs players set the table with several statements following Friday's practice. https://t.co /yrUwDbdRex pic.twitter.com/dSAU1cCOPa

You have to wonder if it's Czekai who's in very a higher weight class than Cousins who will go and give him a message. We agree it would be quite uneven… but we suspect that Sheriff will not miss the opportunity to do this if such an opportunity arises.
Jayden Struble, who is already a little more in the same weight class as Cousins, was a little more thoughtful, saying the club will have to focus on their game… but he will be able to get his message across if given the opportunity.
Without falling into indiscipline, as they say.
Obviously we're in for a bumpy ride tomorrow. We know these two don't like each other, and some guys in the locker room seem willing to throw elbows at each other to avenge Demidov if the opportunity arises.
All this at the Bell Center on a Saturday night: there must be something.
After a while
– I love it.

– Interesting.
Elliott Friedman: There will be interest in Ryan O'Reilly when and if the time is right; last year he was asked about Toronto, I don't think he was keen on the idea; New Jersey would covet a player like O'Reilly; there would be others – DMase Vingan and Daunik (10/30)
