  Hope you're right as the team needs a new direction.

  While were dispensing with myths let’s get a few things straight. The language, weather, culture, are all secondary factors as to why players avoid Montreal. The primary reason free agents don’t sign is due to higher taxes – plain and simple.

  The only embarrassment is Pierre Gauthier. Even if Randy Cunneyworth was bilingual, he should never have been inserted as an interim coach to begin with. The whole thing wreaks and in my opinion was a spineless move by Gauthier. I really feel for RC. As for the language debate let me add this gem. I grew up in Montreal and moved when I was a teen. Unfortunately I never learned French. The fact that the Canadiens don’t have many French players is irrelevant. The key point of contact between the media and fans is the head coach. A majority of the fan base speaks French and wants to hear things in their mother tongue, its good business and common sense. The fact that two Quebecers didn’t see this coming speaks volumes.

  Agreed. I think Geoff Molson’s loyalty to the current administration is his downfall, “business is business is business.” If Geoff Molson doesn’t have the stomach for what’s required he should’ve placed another individual there that is more suited to make tough decisions.

  The problem here is Geoff Molson. When the team was purchased from George Gillett there should have been a house cleaning then. I agree with another poster that Pierre Gauthier should have been relieved of his duties. Geoff Molson should place a call to Serge Savard and find out if he would act as interim GM. Savard can conduct the fire sale. My fear is that Gauthier will keep his job and then hire Patrick Roy as coach (which I’m fine with). The problem is you can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear. People complained about Jacques Martin who has over 600 victories in the NHL. Well here’s a news flash, what has Pierre Gauthier ever won as a GM in the NHL? Guess who was hired as Director of Professional Scouting for the Montreal Canadiens in 2003? If Gauthier had done a better job running the scouting department Bob Gainey would not have been forced to sign so many UFA’s a few years ago.
• Comment on Kaberle? Really???
  Was it Sam Pollock that said: “I always trade for futures – not pasts”? Unfortunately we’re talking about Pierre Gauthier who has the same number of Stanley Cups as many that frequent this website.
