Tanguay staying put

Alex Tanguay will not be a member of the Montreal Canadiens come Tuesday afternoon

According to a TSN.ca article, Flames winger Alex Tanguay won't be traded by tomorrow's Trade Deadline.

Flames GM Darryl Sutter said to the media that "Alex Tanguay is one of the top left wingers in the National Hockey League an he'll be a pretty good player for us down the stretch."

When asked precisely about Tanguay's status, he replied by saying
"I'm not trading Alex Tanguay. I already answered the question, I said Alex Tanguay will be a good player for us down the stretch."

This is the day's second blow to the Trade Market as both Tanguay and Mats Sundin have been pulled off of it. Once again, the attention has now increased on the Trashers' Marian Hossa, who is know, without question, the no.1 forward available. Brian Campbell and he are now the cream of the crop of this year's Trade Deadline Day market.

This is also a second blow to the Montreal Canadiens, as they reportedly coveted both Sundin and Tanguay. All the attention is now on Hossa, nothing more, nothing less.

Keep faith fellow Habs fans!
