      After
      the
      first
      week
      of
      the
     
     
      NHL
      regular
      season,
      the
      biggest
      sur-
     
     
      prise
      has
      to
      be
      the
      play
      of
      teams
      who
     
     
      failed
      to
      make
      the
      playoffs
      last
      season.
     
     
      The
      New
      York
      Islanders,
      Montreal
     
     
      Canadiens
      and
      Calgary
      Flames
      all
      sit
     
     
      atop
      their
      respected
      divisions.
      Both
     
     
      the
      Flames
      and
      the
      Islanders
      made
      key
     
     
      acquisitions:
      during
      the,
      offseason.
     
    

    
     
      The
      Flames
      traded

      The
      New
      York
      Islanders
      made
      two
     
     
      key
      moves
      by
      landing
      troubled
      center
     
     
      Alexei
      Yashin
      from
      Ottawa
      and
      the
     
     
      troubled
      Mike
      Peca,
      who
      sat
      out
      all
      of
     
     
      last
      season

      also
     
     
      acquired.

      Detroit
      in
      the
      recent
     
     
      waver
      draft.
      Osgood
      became
      expend-
     
     
      able
      when
      the
      Red
      Wings
      signed
     
     
      Buffalo
      free
      agent
      Dominik
      Hasek.
     
     
      The
      Islanders
      wasted
      no
      time
      by
      sign-

      a
      ten-year
      deal
     
     
      worth
      upwards
      of
      $90
      million.
     
    

    
     
      The
      Montreal
      Canadiens,
     
     
      however,
      made
      less*substantial:deals
     
     
      and
      yet
      have
      seemed
      to
      improve
      their
     
     
      team.
      The
      Canadiens
      acquired
     
     
      defenseman
      Yanic
      Perreault
      as
      a
      free

      and
      also

      Joe
     
     
      Juneau
      from
      the
      Phoenix
      Coyotes.
     
     
      They
      were
      able
      to
      re-acquire

      Gilmour.
     
    

    
     
      Gilmour’s
      signing
      turned
      out
     
     
      to
      be
      key
      for
      the
      Canadiens
      who
     
    
   
   
    
     
      learned
      just
      before
      the
      start
      of
      training
      -

      team
      captain

      Koivu
      has
      cancer.
      Koivu
      will
      likely
     
     
      miss
      the
      entire
      season
      as
      he
      undergoes

      intense

      few
      weeks.

      it
      is
      still
      very
      early
      in
      the
      season.
     
     
      These
      teams,
      for
      the
      most
      part,
      have
     
     
      not
      yet
      faced
      high-caliber
      opponents.
     
     
      Also,
      the

      on

      The

      are
      still
      seven
     
     
      months-away
      but
      I
      can’t
      help
      but
      think
     
     
      how
      cool
      it
      would
      be
      to
      see

      play
      Calgary
      for
      the
      Stanley

      I
