  Logic? Are you kidding me. I thought Sather plain dumb to sign him to that size of contract even though they didn't have to give up any assets and Gomez was a better player when he left NJ than when he was when he left NY to come to Mtl. Gainey trading for Gomez after 2 seasons of decline in NY shows a serious issue with pro scouting. Actually, it's not even an issue with pro scouting. Most ordinary fan could see that Gomez for whatever reason, was a player on the decline with a huge contract. Gainey throwing in McDonugh at the time was totally brain dead. That trade ranks as the second worst in the NHL this century so far, just behind the Bruins giving away Joe Thornton

  They're 28th overall. If they string 10 wins together, they'll be back in the hunt. When was the last time the Habs won 10 in a row?

  Never mind this season, it's in the tank. Please anyone out there--take a minute to look at where the Canadiens have finished each and every season for the past 15yrs; it might shock you. Personally, I think it might be rather unique in North American sports. If you look at the last 15yrs, the Canadiens average 15th overall in the regular season. Only once have they finished in the top 10 in the league and only once in the bottom 10. Every other year between 11th and 19th overall. What in the world is this organization's philosophy? How can an organization be almost perfectly average for nearly a generation? It's truly a bizarre accomplishment--literally every good trade is negated by a bad one, every good draft pick negated by a draft bust. Wonder if this season given that it's trending way off the norm will be a positive catalyst or a negative one for the organization

  it's interesting that Gauthier is saying we need to get bigger when he was Gainey's partner in trading and signing small guys in the first place. Bourque helps a bit in the size department but you'd think if Gauthier had shopped Cammy around, he might have gotten a bit more. Would have liked to see a trade where it's obvious as to which direction the Habs are taking. Trading for a 30yr old with 4 more years on his contract suggests the Habs are still into finding band aids for their team

  The Lightning have 1 more cup this decade than we do.

  I'm begging that the organization will drop the mantra, "hey if we can just make the playoffs, anything can happen." I find it disgusting and rather mediocre. 1/2 the teams in the league make the playoffs, so the organization's mantra is, hey let's be average. I'd rather finish in last place and rebuild properly as opposed to the constant finishing between 6th and 11th every year for 16yrs save for 1 season. It's a bit of a farce

  Where have you been the last 16yrs? Aside from one season, this is what the team is--a vehicle that has somehow managed to defy reality and spin its muddy wheels in perfect unison so that it'll never plunge off the cliff to lottery status but unfortunately, never gain enough traction to propel it to elite status either. It's really quite a feat
