• 1:35 pm update: Habs headed to Quebec City for flight to Toronto. Cuts still unannounced.
• 11:05 am update: Head coach Jacques Martin is expected to meet the media shortly. He might be announcing the final cuts before the team breaks camp this afternoon and flies to Toronto.
• 11:25 am update: Martin says he has full confidence in Alex Auld in goal if Price can’t go. Didn’t elaborate on who’s Auld’s backup in event Price is too sick to dress. Roman Hamrlik is definitely out for tomorrow. Cuts will be made by 3 pm league deadline, Martin and Habs GM Pierre Gauthier still pondering roster at this hour.
Canadiens goalie Carey Price is not practising today, the final day of Habs training camp in Clermont, said to be suffering from the flu. The team is hoping he’ll be fit to start tomorrow night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. In the meantime, goaltending coach Pierre Groulx is the second netminder in practice today.
Defenceman Andrei Markov is not practising either, also reportedly with flu-like symptoms. Markov not is not expected back imminently.

for real, its going around. (around leaf town anyway, so maybe one of them will catch it)
my mom’s got the flu and my grandpa…..
If you’re extremely stressed, your immune system becomes weakened.
Dude, everyone I know has the flu right now, myself included.
Who gets the flu in October? Honestly.
Anyone else get the flu in Charlevoix (or wherever) or just our starting goalie?
Why couldn’t HALPERN get the flu? What the hell?
Put a SCARF on, dummy!
Quite self-satisfied, I smirk as

well… the good thing is that laffs may think the same way… hoping it will be a cakewalk for them. Silly laffs, they underestimate the power of The System.
No Carey, no Cammy, no Hammy
Makes my armpits and hands go all clammy.
Now the “realists” will shout
“It looks like a rout”.
I hope Auld doesn’t play like my grammy.
No Hamr, Markov, Cammalleri and maybe Price.
Right. So TV off tomorrow?
It’s a little worrying if we have Auld in net behind a defense without markow or hamrlik. I almost wish I wasn’t going to this game now.
no hammer, price ?, final cuts at 3
No worries. Price and the boys are ready. Maybe Gomez and Cammy spiked the punch again.
Via Stubbs on Twitter, Hamrlik is out for the opener tomorrow night in Toronto.
