The Canadiens confirm the hiring of specialist Marc Bureau for face-offs.

In recent weeks, we have often seen Marc Bureau in the Canadiens’ environment.

Since he arrived in the Canadiens’ environment, we have noticed some differences. The guys are behaving significantly better when they are called to take face-offs.

Clearly, the CH seems satisfied with the work of the Quebecer.

Why? Because Bureau’s official hiring for the rest of the season has been confirmed by the team. He is not just an occasional consultant who will come by from time to time: he is a regular.
