Erik Cole saw just 1:04 of power play ice time in the Canadiens season-opener against Toronto Thursday night. Cole was inked to a four-year, $18 million dollar contract over the summer, yet there were eight other Montreal forwards who garnered more time with the man advantage than the former Hurricane against the Leafs. One game certainly doesn't make a season, but this doesn't bode well for Cole's current standing with coach Jacques Martin.
