    Really like the moves PG did today. Pretty savy and smart. PG now needs to address the goaltending problem in Hamilton. Really thin in this area. Habs didn't draft any goalies this year. What was once a development strength with habs is now a glaring weakness.
  • Comment on Audio: Habs sign Cole, Budaj; Hamrlik, Halpern join Caps, Pouliot to Bruins, Auld to Senators
    Good day for Habs. Now I think PG needs to look at another organizational weakness- lack of young quality goaltending in Hamilton.

    Good input Rusty! If this Del Curto is as you say, Jeff Molson should take a look at him. I agree, if he has been with HC Davos for 16 seasons I am sure he knows some French.

    Coaches Corner should be renamed Clow's Corner. He sure dresses and acts the part. Wonder what the clown would say if other sponsors like visa,canadian tire,reebok, honda and pepsi cameout with similar comments as via rail and air canada.

    Just watched Cherry's stupid anti-Montreal rant on coaches corner, Big surprise on his views  isn't it. He and other old NHL boys simply DO NOT get it. They are  completely clueless. 
     
    Anyone who doesn't think that Chara's use of his forearm to guide Pacioretty's head into the stanchion wasn't conscious and reckless is delusional. Chara chose to reach up with his left forearm and push Pacioretty's upper body toward the stanchion. It really doesn't matter if he realized the stanchion was there; he has to be held resposible for results of his actions.  The NHL brass must think the general public is stupid.
    There is a very fine line between clean checking a player and committing crimianl physical assault.
     The NHL has made itself look like a complete joke.  
    Now  even the sponsors are condemning the hit and the lack of consequences. 
    The NHL could have avoided this problem  perception with a multi-game suspension of Chara. Instead it chose to ignore it. What a  bloody shame that instead of looking to improve the image of hockey, Bettman uses this incident as an opportunity to create a confrontation with Air Canada and its interest in sponsorship. I am utterly dumfounded by this level of incompetence.
    Fans should contact the other  NHL sponsors like Visa, Canadian Tire, Reebok, Mcdonalds, Honda and Pepsi and make their feelings known about this. Wonder if Bettman would confront these sponsors too if they pressure him to do the right thing and suspend Chara.
    The NHL has set a bad another precedent: they are escalating the bar for hits not deemed suspendable, and thus the dangerous hits will get worse and worse.Hockey is a contact sport but unless some of this gets cleaned up, eventually someone will be killed.

    You are so right. Cherry putting this back on Montreal is disgraceful and pathetic. Exactly what you would expect from Cherry.
