  Remember when PG talked about only needing to tweak a solid lineup this year. He added Cole and preened that we were ready to compete for a cup. The guy is not a good enough GM. Period.

  If you're going to force the fans to watch this kind of soul-numbing hockey, there is no excuse to be 11-18 in the regular season. They have a small supposedly skilled team that can't score 5-5,5-4,4-4 or 1-1. It's a disgrace.

  I want to have fun with this team, but the on-ice product keeps getting in the way. Still, Go Habs Go tonight.

  The only problem is that there's a huge gap in our prospects coming to the NHL. The 07 class provided a bunch of key players, but since then, no pick has made it to the NHL yet. Doesn't mean they're all busts but it sure does mean they're not here.

  Wouldn't having a mediocre lineup that lacks size, grit and a PP be part of the team's "circumstances." Isn't a GM with a top-level budget expected to ice a team that can compete. Even under adverse "circumstances." I mean Markov hasn't really played in two years. Spacek is 37. Campoli was unsigned all summer. White is a fourth liner. Can they really claim that they counted on these players to make the Habs a winner?

  What bugs me is Shannahan was just on the Radio with Melnick talking about he just watches the incidents and makes the call. If he was on a desert island and had sufficient coverage, he'd make the same call. So where's the Tootoo decision? Could it possibly be that because of how ridiculously he blew the Lucic hit on Miller, he's painted himself into a corner on what should be (and likely will be) a simple ruling that the game misconduct was enough. Whatever the reason, the decision should've come down Monday. Delaying isn't making the NHL's unforgivable inconsistency in applying discipline any less obvious. I cannot for the life of me understand why a guy with a reputation like Shanny took a job that requires him to be the public apologist for a league riddled with cronyism and inconsistency. Well, he chose to be a stooge and he's quickly becoming one in the public mind.
• Comment on Multimedia: HIO at practice
  I have no problem with it whatsoever. He's a first year pro, and missed a ton of time to injury this season and last. A handfull of games on the 4th line in the NHL is plenty for him to experience. Pat Burns kept Joe Thornton on the 4th line pretty much his whole rookie season. At Louis age (and with his frame) thrusting him into a top 9 role in the NHL may not be doing him a favour. Frankly setting up practice so that it most enables Louis Leblanc's develpoment and not so that it sets up the team to win its next game would be stupid. This isn't training camp.
