Canadiens Fire Guy Carbonneau

"Guy Carbonneau was fired as coach of the struggling Montreal Canadiens, hockey's most historic franchise that is in danger of missing the playoffs in its 100th season (Sportsline)."

Canadiens had to do something, because this team is way too good to miss the playoffs. They were probably watching the Penguins turn their season around after firing their coach, and hope they can do the same. Montreal went into a free fall in late January and February, losing 10 of 13. They currently are sitting at 6th place in the East, but there is a cluster fuck of teams from 5-10. I think this move will work, and that the Canadiens will be in the playoffs, and be a dangerous team.

Mike Peterson To Atlanta

Peterson 32, will a sign a three-year contract, league sources confirmed; financial details were not immediately available. Peterson visited with team officials and coaches on Monday and Tuesday.ESPN

I don't know why people were overlooking Mike Peterson as much as they were. Even though he is old, he is still a hell of a LB. He fell out of graces with Jack Del Rio last year, which may bring on some heat, and was suspended a couple games, but he still finished with 84 tackles. The Falcons got an absolute steal with this signing.
