If you're a Montreal Canadiens fan, I'm almost certain that you forgot Andrei Markov was in fact, under contract to the team. Okay, maybe you were trying to block that out (thanks to the "genius" Pierre Gauthier), but last night, for the first time in 17 months, Markov made his appearance in a Montreal Canadiens uniform and played an actual game. Granted, this piece sounds like the usual, sarcastic-laced diatribe that I've been laying on the Canadiens this year, but for Markov, his return marks his passion for the game and if he's healthy, maybe the Canadiens will be in better shape next year (I will have to check his contract status for next season to verify). As for the Canadiens fans, the next home game Markov gets to play, I should hope for a warm ovation for a guy that cares about the game and hopefully serve as an inspiration to those who are thinking of giving up on their goals.
Andrei Markov, welcome back to the NHL!
