Guest Low Roller Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 So has Cunneyworth shown more dedication to learning French in the two weeks he's coach than Saku Koivu had shown during his entire run in Montreal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 So are we back to panic yet or not?We're only six points out of a playoff spot, right. That's not completely insurmountable.Looks like Columbus is going to need a defenceman with a point shot after Wiz went down with a broken ankle... Weber might be available. Also, this may be our only chance to jettison Kaberle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Josh Gorges signed a six year deal with a cap hit of $3.9M. Great deal for a steady defenseman. Unfortunately it leaves the team very little cap space for next year. Gauthier just bought himself some time with this important signing, however I am still not convinced that he is the right guy to take this team forward.

Booche Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 HOLY SHIT! I love Josh Gorges but as far as I am concerned, Gauthier just played his "buyout" card. He's counting on being able to buy his way out of a shitload of terrible contracts this summer while the NHL deals with their next CBA. Looks like Geoff Molson has opened his wallet for further bleeding. If not, this franchise is fucking retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Will Gainey's legacy be handcuffing this team with several poisoned contracts? Will Gauthier's legacy be burning all the goodwill with the fan base that was built up during the Centennial celebrations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Cat Fight The new year got off to a bang for the struggling Montreal Canadiens as defenceman P.K. Subban and centre Tomas Plekanec exchanged punches during practice on Monday.The two clashed during a one-on-one drill. Both dropped their gloves and threw punches until Josh '3.9 million per for 6 years' Gorges and other teammates stepped in to stop it.No big punches landed, neither player was hurt, and both players stayed on the ice as practice resumed.

Guest Low Roller Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Someone celebrated Lars Eller’s hat trick with a sex toy By Greg Wyshynski Have you ever wondered who would think, "Boy, I'd so much rather be the guy who picks up the dead duck thrown from the stands during a hockey game?" The answer, we imagine, is the guy who has to pick up the rubber phallus thrown on the ice in celebration of a hat trick. According to Gerard Yee on Twitter, somebody at the Montreal Canadiens' 7-3 home victory over the Winnipeg Jets (a) brought a dildo to the game and ( was compelled to throw it on the ice after Lars Eller tallied his third of four goals on the night. Huh, usually you see those things when you have trouble scoring … Fans were confused at first, mistaking something red, stiff, immobile and deep in the zone for Hal Gill. Soon after, Brian Gionta was then seen frantically fleeing the ice, screaming something about a sandworm from "Dune" attacking him. (Yes, that was a height joke. Moving on…) Whether or not it was a sex toy doesn't really matter. They never said "Play It Again, Sam" in "Casablanca" either. Lars Eller is now irreversibly linked to a red pleasure pole landing on the ice during his 5-point night, as he no doubt found out when the hats and other items collected from his trick were presented to him after the game. It's nothing to be ashamed of; well, until the Photoshops start rolling in. An impressive moment from the Canadiens fan base. But you have ways to go to catch the Great Swedish Dildo Shower of '08, friends. Edited January 5, 2012 by Low Roller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Montreal Canadiens fans aren’t very happy these days. The team has been a disappointment all season, with a combination of injuries and lacklustre play leaving them well outside of the current playoff picture. But apparently that's not even the biggest problem facing the franchise. That honor would be reserved for interim Canadiens' coach Randy Cunneyworth, who's hiring generated controversy because he can't speak French. Tension over that issue may be taken to new heights today, when Canadiens fans (or at least groups claiming to represent them) are reportedly planning a pre-game protest outside of the Bell Centre. But while the language-based outrage is getting all the attention, it's actually only one of several demonstrations planned for today by fans in Montreal. As it turns out, Canadiens fans are fed up and they're not going to take it anymore.So forget about which language the coach is speaking. Here are some of the other issues that Montreal Canadiens fans are currently upset about.•Whenever you call Montreal's 911 emergency line, the automated attendant doesn't get to "report a Boston Bruins body check" until like the third or fourth option.•The team has refused to release details of team captain Brian Gionta's recent health issue beyond calling it a lower body injury, which on that guy doesn't really narrow it down.•While it was nice to see them borrow our patented "stuff the ballot box to elect all your mediocre hometown players to the All-Star Game" move, foolish Senator fans forgot the part about including an unrestricted free agent for Brian Burke to overpay in the offseason.•Scott Gomez continues to score goals at a slightly lower rate than other similarly paid players, such as Cam Ward.•In addition to his lack of French, coach Cunneyworth often struggles to say even basic English phrases, such as "We played well tonight".•By the third period of every home game, Youppi is inevitably staggering around waving an empty whiskey bottle and screaming at small children about how 1994 was supposed to be the Expos' year.•Management now admits they recently gave a $23 million contract extension to Josh Gorges under the mistaken impression that they were actually paying for several players who were all named Josh Gorge.•Even if you've only got one copy to make, Pierre Gauthier never lets you go ahead in line at the photocopier until he's finished making hundreds of copies of his resume.•Carey Price is one of the absolute best goaltenders in the entire league and does not get enough respect from the wait a second did he just give up a goal in warmup? BOOOOOO!!!•Every time we're sitting around reminiscing about all of the great divisional rivalries we've had over the years, some Sabres fan gets all pouty and then we have to pretend to include them too.•In many Canadian provinces, even after a Habs fan has mentioned the team's 24 Stanley Cups it is still technically legal for a fan of another team to continue talking.•Look, nobody's saying that the franchise has retired too many numbers, but it does get kind of confusing cheering for a team of 20 players who are all wearing #86.•When Patrick Roy inevitably takes over as coach he'll be able to explain to the players exactly what it takes to win a Stanley Cup in Montreal in the modern era, which will be depressing because what it takes is for Patrick Roy to be your goaltender.•Every time we think that we've at least wrapped up the title of "most hopeless Canadian NHL franchise", we catch the highlights of the latest Flames game and realize how far we still have to go.
