COACH FRENCHY COMMENTS ABOUT THE HABS LOSS AGAINST THE DUCK: AMID WORST START SINCE 1941, MONTREAL CANADIENS' LOSS TO ANAHEIM DUCKS HIGHLIGHTS CENTRE PROBLEM The Canadiens fell to 2-8-0 on the season with a 4-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. This one, more so than any of the others, highlighted a glaring hole up the middle of this roster. And not being able to fill that hole is going to be one of the team’s biggest impediments to getting their season back on the rails. Before the puck dropped at Honda Center, it was announced Canadiens forward Mathieu Perreault would miss two-to-three weeks with an eye injury. We reported during first intermission that Perreault would only be re-evaluated in 14 days and that he underwent laser surgery to fix a detached retina suffered due to lattice retinal degeneration — a condition he’s had since birth but was unaware of until the damage done caused him to experience blurred and double vision. “He was lucky one of the best eye specialists in the world was in Los Angeles,” said a team source regarding the procedure Perreault was able to get following Saturday’s 5-2 loss for the Canadiens to the Kings. he Canadiens were unlucky not to have him against the Ducks, and that only reinforced how much things have changed at the centre position for this team since they went to the Stanley Cup Final last summer. Perreault may have started his career as a centre back in 2009, but he hadn’t played the position regularly in over four years before being forced into it by the Canadiens a handful of games into their season. The centre position was a strength for this team before the departure of Phillip Danault in August created a hole that was widened by the Carolina Hurricanes poaching Jesperi Kotkaniemi via offer sheet. It’s undoubtedly a weakness now — even with the acquisition of Christian Dvorak made soon after Danault and Kotkaniemi left.
