It’s been reported that Tomas Kaberle has been placed on waivers, and is there anyone out there who might be surprised by this? Kaberle was a decent player when he was a Toronto Maple Leaf, where he spent 12 seasons, and whether or not Boston and Carolina fans were happy with him, I’m not sure. [...]

Take your mind back, back to the summer of 2009, when Bob Gainey ruined our team? June and July of that year were when Montreal traded for Scott Gomez and brought in UFA’s Brian Gionta and Mike Cammalleri. I was excited at the time, mainly because the Canadiens needed fresh blood, and I’ve been an [...]

There goes 2012. Maybe it’s a good thing. The Habs were disturbingly mediocre in 2012, finishing 15/15 in the Eastern Division, one point behind 14th place Islanders and two behind the Leafs. I still feel nauseous. Along the way, Hal Gill and Andrei Kostitysn were shipped to Nashville and I miss Hal. The other guy – not so [...]

Pierre Gauthier has been hired by the Chicago Blackhawks as director of player personnel, and all I can say mostly say about this is simply repeat what someone commented on the CBC story pertaining to the news. He or she wrote that “I’m not a Chicago fan, but they don’t deserve THIS.” It’s not a big deal [...]

Before I get into anything else, I’d like to direct you to Hockey Inside Out which has a nice interview with Jaraslav Spacek, conducted by the Gazette’s Dave Stubbs. Spacek gives his thoughts about Jacques Martin, Pierre Gauthier, Geoff Molson and others, and I found the piece really interesting. I can’t top that. Geez. So I guess I’ll just go on [...]

The Canadiens took their time, talked to more than a few, including the high-profile Patrick Roy and Pierre McGuire, and finally made their choice. Marc Bergevin, a Montrealer, just 46 years old, former assistant general manager in Chicago, and a guy who most certainly watched the turmoil unfold in Montreal and decided that he can do [...]

Pierre Gauthier must have been some pissed off with Mike Cammalleri after the over-paid, underachieving rich kid called out the team in the waning hours before being sent packing to the wild west. First, it was Cammalleri being dealt to Calgary midway through a game. Then it was Gauthier not telling the guy right away where [...]

The Canadiens ended the season in fine fashion, winning 4-1 over the Toronto Maple Komisareks, and I’m sad as I sit in a Travelodge motel in Langley, BC, after watching the game at the Murrayville Town Pub which included several pints and a plate of onion rings which has lined my stomach with a grease [...]

Our wild and crazy Montreal Canadiens have an opening for a new general manager after Pierre Gauthier has been sacked, and rightly so. Gauthier can now slither back to his pad in Vermont and do whatever he does. I dunno, what do ghosts do anyway? Finally an excorcism from this season from hell. The first big [...]

Canadiens sign Greg Pateryn PRESS RELEASE MONTREAL (March 28, 2012) – Montreal Canadiens general manager Pierre Gauthier announced Wednesday the signing of defenseman Greg Pateryn to a two-year contract (2012-13 and 2013-14). As per club policy, financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Pateryn tallied 15 points (2 goals, 13 assists) in 41 games [...]
