Pistol Peten soppari:
Niinkuin on huhuttu niin ilmeisesti Peter Vandermeer teki yhdensuunnan sopparin ja siinä on Montrealin uusi number one gooni. Hienoa koska tämä mies ansaitsee ehdottomasti mahdollisuuden pelata NHL:ssä. Onhan hän hidas ja kankea mutta silti. Antakaa miehelle mahdollisuus perhana :-)
Näin miestä kehuttiin hänen viime kauden otteiden jälkeen:
Peter Vandermeer (73-4-13-17-310, plus-4) — Vandermeer set an example for younger players to follow in the second half. His game is all hustle, and he excelled on a line with Eric Himelfarb. Vandermeer will do anything to win, and is a strong voice in the room.

Peter Vandermeer is coming to play "cop" for the Canadiens
"I can't wait."
Mathias Brunet
La Presse
The Canadiens have their tough guy for this season. He's called Peter Vandermeer, and his signing went rather unnoticed this past week.
Vandermeer has never played a game in the NHL, but the Canadiens management seems to hold him in very high regard. So much so that they offered him a one year one-way contract (probably at the minimum salary of $450,000).
This 29 year old ruffian notched 310 penalty minutes last year with Grand Rapids, the Red Wings farm team in the American League. The previous year he had finished at the head of the brawlers' class with 398 minutes in penalties for the Flyers' farm club.
"I haven't been able to stand still for four days," Vandermeer confided yesterday from his place in Alberta. "I live pretty far from Quebec, but I grew up admiring the exploits of the Canadiens players. I can't wait to get to Montreal soon and show what I'm made of!"
Mies on keskitasoa parempi hanskaaja ja ei pelkää ottaa haasteita vastaan. Tappelee kenen tahansa kanssa ja milloin tahansa.
ps. Peter Worrell voi myös olla tulossa Montrealiin...
