According to TSN's Darren Dreger, Rick Dudley, now working with the Toronto Maple Leafs under Brian Burke, is set to leave Toronto to be the assistant general manager of the Montreal Canadiens. However it is more complicated than that.

This post will be updated when Dudley is officially hired. CHeers Follow me on Twitter: @YourCanadiens

The Whiteout What originally started out as a tradition in Winnipeg has become one of the coolest things to see during the playoffs. The sea of white surrounding the ice in Phoenix looks awesome, especially when it's a sold out crowd. Props to the fans for keeping this amazing tradition alive. 3. Rat Trick This tradition doesn't date as far back as the other ones but it's still pretty cool. Back in 1995- 1996 season, when the Florida Panthers last made the playoffs, one of their players Scott Mellanby killed a rat in the locker room.
