    I haven't been here for a while, but why don't we nickname Gallagher the tasmanian devil? There is no quit with this kid and it matches. Boston can have their little ball of hate, we have the tazzie devil! May this francise return to glory!!!

    Trade PK? Wow, this just shows how the french media runs the team. Trade a second year NHL d-man with potential to burn? Makes sense to me, morons in the french media. That's part of the reason why this team is useless. No patience means no potential. Will you look around the league at all of the players they've given up on way to early? Why don't we start a trade Price campain while we're at it. Heck, that might be good enough to get Garon and make everyone happy on the french side. Lets trade PK straight up for Robidas. That makes sense, doesn't it? Maybe that will be the little push I need to start cheering for the Flames full time. Or maybe I'll start cheering for the Leafs because their GM has a decent set of ba**. Maybe because I won't have to listen to a guy like Francois Gagnon dictate the pace of what's going to take place in Montreal. Maybe he can start a rumour too when it comes to PK, and maybe he can throw Price under the bus too while he's at it. I could see something coming out of this low 5 thing that Price and PK have. Am I surprised about what's coming out? No, the lack of intelligence in the french media doesn't surprise me because they all go to the National Enquirer school of journalism. Gotta love it, the press lives for years like this, it sells more copies, and it looks even better when they influence something.

    How right he is. Too sad that most of you are not motivated enough to consider the ending to what Andrew Cohen said. They got lucky a couple of years ago. This has been a mediocre team at best for the last almost 2 decades now. There has been no vision, no insite into how to build a proper team, right down to drafting the player best at his position for the draft. Consider this, when the need has been to draft a skilled forward with size, why keep drafting defensemen and a goaltender? How do you get away with drafting Kostitsyn instead of Carter? How do you trade so poorly without getting other teams to compete? Point in one direction. The last GM to win a Stanley Cup, to be worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the best in the NHL is Serge Savard. If you ask me, I think too many within the organization are drinking to many Molson products. I guess that's the perks that go with working within the organization. I was there when they opened up the Molson/Bell centre, working as a barman in Ovation, the restaurant before they changed the name. More times than not, Cournoyer and Lambert were getting drunk, I mean real drunk, after each home game. The quality the team has, they get rid of. The cr*p they keep. Can anyone tell me, what is the plan that the current management has for this team. What is the goal? To compete for 8th place? My disappointment stems as deep as Andrew Cohen and good for him for speaking the way I've felt for years. As well, this team, in case no one has noticed, has been run by the french media. Can anyone donate a backbone to these people? For the first time ever, my support wanes. Arrogance is what stops people and organizations from being the best. Call a spade a spade, this team hasn't been close to the best for a very long time. They had a very good, if not excellent coach in Guy Carbonneau, but they found a way to screw that up. Who fires a coach 11 games over .500? It's one disappointment after another. Look at it for what it is, it will take 10 years to rebuild into anything decent. Keep being distorted and it will never happen. Keep Gauthier, resign Gomez to an extension, it's the direction this team is going in. Thank you Jeff Molson, for thinking you're on the "Yellow Brick Road".

    Sorry, have to write this one. The team is crumbling like the city. For what I have seen, there has been a band aid program for about 18 year or more with this team, desparation to just stay in the playoffs, not a team with a plan. They got lucky for the last couple of years and reality is finally setting in. Sorry, I have voiced my complaints in the past, but I can finally say, I told you so. I have tried to put a postive spin on this team, but even if they are able to get past win number one, they are totally messed for the rest of the year. You can't possibly believe that this team will even come close to making the playoffs, time to cut your losses, make the right management moves and put a proper plan in place. I'm fed up with the lack of power on this team, a team full of smurfs, with no balance, no real game plan and only a couple of bright spots. Jeff, if you're listening, I could do a better job than this in 2 years. It will take more than that, but you have to have a solid plan, and scrapping the team they had to start 4 years ago to rebuild with the lack of size they have now doesn't work. I don't care how fast you are, there isn't enough room on the ice to make that much of a diffrence. At least, at this pace, you can bank on a top 5 pick. It's something that's been needed since Price. Good luck habs, on the ride to the bottom of the league..... oh, I forgot, they're already there. RIP: 2011-2012

  • Comment on Game 55: Defence disappears in Beantown

    Question, looking for an answer here. Pyatt, Kostitsyn, and Gomez, slight waste of space on this team? Maybe a second one to get people thinking. What about Hamrlik and Spacek? I don't understand how they are going to win anything with those players, and considering they are married to Gomez for 3 more year after this year, how many more minus 4 games will we end up seeing from him? Kostitsyn can be traded, should be traded. Pyatt doesn't have the skill for the NHL game. Hamrlik and Spacek are ready for the old timers game in Calgary in the next couple of weeks. At least they wouldn't look out of place. The problem with this team is there is no grit, no toughness, and against a team like this, they get their a** handed to them.
