In case you missed the off-season news, Scott Gomez was traded this summer from the New York Rangers to the Montreal Canadiens. Training camp has begun, and some profiles about the Alaskan center's adjustment to hockey-mad Montreal have been published recently. USA Today reports that Gomez is ready to embrace the pressure but knows it won't be easy, saying, "I think my dad put it best when he said, you are going from the stove into the microwave." A longer piece from the Montreal Gazette also records how impressed Gomez was at the number of fans who turn out to watch the Canadiens' pre-season workouts. Read that hometown report here, including what The Gomer did after a fan yelled "Hey Gomez, you better wake up this year!"
