ANAHEIM, Calif. - Playing in Montreal wasn't always easy but Saku Koivu says he enjoyed every minute of being a Canadien.
Still, hockey is a business and when it became clear the Canadiens were not going to offer him a new contract this season he had no option but to sign a one-year deal worth US$3.25 million with the Anaheim Ducks.
"I enjoyed every moment there," Koivu said in a telephone conference call from Finland. "It's a great place to play hockey. Not an easy place always, but a very interesting place.
