Now if the Habs can convince another GM to take that suckbag Scot Gomez and his 7.5 mil contract then they would be on to something.

From TSN:

...
"One of the reasons that it would improve the club is that we need to score harder goals, we need to score the goals that are not the fancy ones and are not the outside shots. The outside shots don't go in anymore. It's the second chances, the third chances, the rebounds, the screen shots, the tip ins and the stats show it very clearly," said Gauthier.

"That's why Mr. Bourque is a very attractive player to us because he scores most of his goals from those areas," he added.
...

Don't forget the head shots; you can't score when you're suspended. Maybe Gauthier thinks he's traded for Raymond.
Cammalleri said that that Gauthier told him that the trade was being worked on for the last month. I don't believe the for a second.

My point is their desire to get another French Canadian likely had something to do with this trade. As I stated, Cammalleri had a lot of big goals for them.

Rene Bourque is from Alberta and does not speak a word of french.

Buddy, make sure your facts are straight

I think it's a good trade for, and I hate to say this the Flames. Just seems so werid though, Cammalleri is playing in the game then after the second period he's told to have a shower and take a cab back to the hotel

Why is Montreal soooo f***ed?

Why is Montreal soooo f***ed?

Clearly it starts with management. The team has no identity. In 08/09 and 09/10 they were fast, skilled, and exciting. Then the skill dissapears and they're soft. Now what the hell are they? A mess. If the fans and media would just screw off and let the team conduct business and implement some form of long-term strategy outside of public influence they may turn it around. Aside from their run in the spring of 2010, this is a team that's supposedly been on the re-build since Roy was traded in 1996. This club reminds me of the Rangers organization in every way, except for the results this year's Rangers team has produced.

When Daniels reported the fact that he was sent to the hotel and related it back to the comments he had made previously my fiancee actually started listening and said, 'Wow, teams will actually do that?', to which I had to reply, 'No' and try to explain why Montreal is so dysfunctional. It's hard to grasp how a team like that with so much history and prior success is so hell bent on tearing itself apart the second they aren't up to par.

Like they care.

It sounds French enough.

I have to imagine a few more trades involving Montreal are on the horizon.

I can see anyone other than Carey Price being traded.

He is Metis (half french half native) and is from a French settlement in Alberta. He speaks French and will be a good addition to the Habs.

Anyone else think coach Cunneyworth will be searching the want ads by mid April?

Yep, he is only there until April then will be replaced by a Frenchman.

He better learn how to speak French fast.

[F.Michael]

Rosetta Stone can't work fast enough for the poor guy

No matter how good he is with the players, no matter how positive he can portray himself and the Habs as a franchise, I'm afraid the Cunneyworth will never be "one of them".

I would say this phrase best describes how Monthreal franshise is managed.

He doesn't speak french.  He said so last night when he was interviewed about the trade.

[LeftWinger]

Erik Cole anyone?

[GMRwings1983]

Does Hudler speak French by any chance?
