Edited sentence: 2006-07 Season.2007-08 Season.Although coach Guy Carbonneau used Plekanec in several roles over the course of the season, including time on the fourth line, he spent much time centering a line with Russian forwards Alex Kovalev and Sergei Samsonov.At present, he centers the Canadiens' second line, featuring Alex Kovalev.At the start of the 2006-07 season, Plekanec's emergence as a player allowed GM Bob Gainey to deal the Canadiens second-line centreman, Mike Ribeiro.Following the season, Tomas represented the Czech Republic at the 2007 IIHF World Championship.From January onwards, Plekanec proved to be one of the Canadiens' top players.He found himself on a line with Chris Higgins and Andrei Kostitsyn which was Montreal's most effective line on most nights.He was awarded the Molson Cup in January, as the Canadiens' top player for the month.In January, the lines were re-shuffled, and Plekanec found himself centering a line with Kovalev, and teenage rookie Guillaume Latendresse.In his third season in the NHL, Plekanec has continued his strong performances with the Canadiens.Plekanec continued his stellar play down the stretch for the Canadiens, as they tried to make the playoffs.Plekanec has also played with Latendresse, and Kostitsyn , who feature on the other wing depending on their individual performances.Plekanec's best attributes are his intelligence (which has enabled him to be a key player in defensive situations, such as the penalty kill), his versatility (enabling him to work effectively as an offensive center, and a defensive center) and his work ethic.Plekanec's strong play has been credited in a revival of sorts for Kovalev, who struggled significantly during the 2006/07 season.The line was mostly disastrous, with neither Kovalev nor Samsonov contributing the desired offense.Unfortunately for Tomas, the Canadiens season ended on 7 April 2007, as the Habs lost to their arch-rivals, Toronto Maple Leafs, ending their playoff hopes
