    Ole, you beat me to it. Eller may be the best player on this team and if you can't see any of that in him, you just can't see. Deuce, you also have it right. Where is Patch from last year. Brutal so far but I will also give him the benefit of the doubt and say he may be playing injured, which IMO is wrong in any sport. Pure BS for anyone, anyone whatsoever, to try and be a man and play hurt. It doesn't work. Expos, please come home.

    Chris, an informative, smart and well written post. My only other point is that I don't believe $26 M is actually doable for these 10 guys and if we consider the recent signings and non-signings, we're in for another round of unhappiness. Let's hope we at least hang on to Georges as I agree with your evaluation of him being our best. Expos, please come home.

    Nice to hear there are are still passionate Expo fans out there. I went to the last game in Montreal. It was pretty sad, not only because they only announced that it would be the last game that very day, but also because of the actual game itself. Big loss to Florida and nothing really special said or done by the organization to say good-bye to the fans. I remember using my binoculars and catching a close up of Tim Raines in the dugout. He alsmost looked like he was crying. The only way we will see a Team back here is if a Billionaire wants one here, and certainly not because the city or Province wants it. I will continue to hope for two things. One, that a billionaire comes along or, two, that I become a Billionaire myself and bring home the Expos. Expos, please come home.

    Wow, I really didn't think the team would take action so quickly in trying to resolve their problems. This move will go a long way in making us a much better team. Not!!!! Expos, please come home.

    Un Canadien errant, first of all my statement in English language schooling in no way indicated a political bias, however, I do have a bias toward people who assume biases. Although I should maybe have clarified my schooling statement, I'm afraid that you are the one who is misinformed. Due to Bill 104, not all new immigrants to Quebec have the right to register their children into English language schools and although the Supreme Court of Canada ruled, in 2010, that Bill 104 is unconstitutional, nothing has yet been resolved on the issue, so people are still being denied the right. Expos, please come home.

    HabFanRookie, where exactly did you read anywhere in our posts that we think the Habs haven't won because of the French coaches?? The two main ideas mentioned were that, one, I didn't believe the organization is willing to hire someone who doesn't speak French and habsfan0 stated that any pro sports organization who hires based on cultural background and language rather than pursuing the best talent available is simply not doing themselves any favours. That's not to say that a French Speaking coach or GM isn't the best talent and it's not even saying that he's an Anglophone or Franchphone, simply that he or possibly even she can speak both languages. Expos, please come home.
