- Comment on Tremblay and Roy haven't spoken since trade to Colorado
Usually, I concentrate on the positive, but I'd like to point out some negatives. For whatever reason, I am more bummed out about this last season then I was after a dead last finish the season before. The season from hell was necessary for major changes. It started very well with the cleansing of old regimes and the hiring of MB. The hiring of great hockey minds, and a new openness by the Franchise. Wow, what a great time it was. Then, the hiring of Michel Therrien. Yes, he did a great job during the regular season, but did he really? The team played above their strenghts all season and were pooped come the end of the season, and they hobbled into the playoffs. All his decisions turned to gold early on, but as time went on, his bench management began to stink. Personally, his emotional pressers made me wince with embarressment. Making Eller a healthy scratch, giving crazy minutes to DD, the list is long. He declared Anderson was the best player of the series, a "nice" way to deflect the lousy performance of our forwards who scored 1.8 goals a game. The Penguins scored as many goals in 1 game, chasing Anderson twice. Conveniently, Price was blamed both by him and MB giving even more ammunition to the Price detractors. Price wasn't at his best, but he is part of the solution along with PK, Gally, Chucky, Eller, Prust, Bourque and MaxP, if he ever finds his way to the net again. All the other players do not step it up when needed. How can Ryder have been so great in the Bruins' cup run, but be so terrible in ours? Injury? Coaching? Pleks is my daughters' favourite player, but he is no Patrice Bergeron. Patrice is a game changer and could be considered for the Conn Smythe, Pleks is not. As our highest paid forward, he brings almost nothing to the post season. It's time to cut the emotional cords, and think about the future only. Yes, there are very good reasons for the teams' early demise: injuries, bad calls, bad luck. It seemed to me the Hockey Gods just weren't on our side. But even if they were, it would have taken a true miracle to make it to the finals. Personally, I couldn't care less if they win 1 or 2 rounds. If they can't make it to the Finals, it's all the same. Moving forward, by the draft only, as MB states, cannot work unless the team tanks for a few more years. MB did not need a full year to evaluate the team. Maybe he tried, but couldn't come up with a deal that didn't mortgage the future, who knows? Definitely, he and the management group need to come up with some creative trades and draft well for future success. Say what you will about Patrick Roy, I think, eventually, he will be a great coach, because he knows how to win. I wasn't sold on Therrien, and still am not. I hope I am wrong. - Comment on Marking the 27th anniversary of Habs' 23rd Stanley Cup

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlIEoKg8ZQg Goalies are easy to love but they're not hard to scold They'd rather give you a save but sometimes they fold First star is tougher to get, goalie sighs And each night begins a new Ole If you don't understand him, then he won't stay around He'll prob'ly just go away Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be goalies Don't let 'em wear pads and sign big ol' contracts Let 'em be wingers and centers and such Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be goalies 'Cause they'll always be blamed and judged by their own Because he can't work his glove Goalies like pleasing fans, and elaborate masks hiding their mourning Big Defensemen and forwards who are with height Fans that don't like him won't ever like him, what can he do? Sometimes won't know how to judge him He ain't wrong, he's just different But his knees won't let him stand up to make you think he's right Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be goalies Don't let 'em wear pads and sign big ol' contracts Let 'em be wingers and centers and such Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be goalies 'Cause they'll always be blamed and always be alone 'cause he messed up his glove Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be goalies It's a thankless position to drive them amuck Let 'em be wingers and centers and such - Comment on Size isn't a problem with Habs, Plekanec says
