    Thanks for another great update. Watch for big numbers from Morgan Ellis this week. He'll likely have something to prove after not being invited to the world junior camp. He's been one of the top 5 defenders in the QMJHL this season. And with the trade deadline approaching (Dec. 19) suitors are lining up for his services.

    Watched Vincent act as coach and GM for 10 years in Cape Breton. He's a younger version of Jaques Martin. Systems coach, line juggler, loves to lean on his veterans. He built consistently talented regular season teams but couldn't find any real playoff success. In his defence, he had a knack for finding great goalies (Fleury, Pavelec, Houle, on and on). And the organization has struggled mightily since he left for the Montreal Juniors several seasons back.
  • Comment on Canadiens bulk up for Panthers
    well written, seriousfan. A reactive and unresearched submission is fine for a fan but unacceptable for paid columnists like Cowan and Todd. These guys are supposed to be impartial and above such emotional outbursts.
  • Comment on Update from Team M*A*S*H
    Thanks for the update. Ellis, by the way has been spectacular since his return from Canadiens camp. Look for him to have a great year on a vastly improved Cape Breton Screaming Eagles squad.

    I don't like "the without a headache" line at the end of Basu's story. First suggestion I've read about Georges being a late night guy. Hate when a columnist drops that crap in without attribution or evidence. Georges has been the same warrior type player before and after Gill's arrival so I'm not sure what kind of talking to he needed from Hal. Think I'll message Arpon directly about that one.
