• Comment on Canucks' Luongo outduels Price for fantasy win
  As a Montrealer that moved to China for a year on business purposes...I can safely say I don't miss the NHL. The KHL on my basic cable package more than makes up for it. This is ridiculous (the lock out) when you see the amount of people starving in this 3rd world country. AHL on internet, junior as well....who needs the NHL?

  The Gazette really dropped the ball on this limited article thing. They responded to having an outdated business model by taking a page from the music industry (which hasn't worked for them either.). We live in a day where even respected magazines like Time will send you hard copies for free (for a whole year) and concentrate on ad revenue to compensate. If you look at the people who have done this the right way, their readership has stayed strong all while remaining financially viable and making a profit. The only one that will lose out because of this will be The Gazette itself. Diminished readers will equate to diminished advertising, which will in turn lead to less staff and articles from local sources. With all of the options a reader has via the internet, this new policy is laughable. I can imagine it must of been the idea of a 50+ year old marketing director with no actual scope on how media is consumed today. Way too go on taking something already outdated, and pushing it closer to the abyss. Take a long look at the world today and wake up, before you wake up to the bankruptcy of a Montreal institution that has been around for centuries. The quality of the Gazette has suffered over the last few years, this move is beyond perplexing. This isn't a complaint so much as a wise word of wisdom. I'm not too bothered by this, I have limitless options today as an end user to consume the media that i want, when i want it. Life will not be as kind to the Gazette if they keep it up. Good luck, you'll need more than that. Jason.
• Comment on Teeing up Game Four
  That "MTL Stand Up" song is so embarrassing. Is it just me? I mean that is corny to the power of William Hung. All the song does is justify the pansy image that the rest of the NHL views this organization with. You have tons of playoff teams using war like songs to get their fanbase going because the playoffs are a war...the Habs respond with the Nhl's answer to tween pop. That felt good...rant aside this game means it all. Winner wins the series in my eyes. Get that first goal boys!
