  1. The Habs are playing on a Sunday which can only mean one thing, it's time for another mind-numbing thrilling Rogers Hometown Hokey Hockey featuring musical artists no one has ever heard of, random former players to reminisce about the good old days, and two young hockey players to pick their favourite players as the three stars regardless of what actually happened in the game. All of this stupidity excitement comes in lieu of discussion about the actual game at hand as it will be ignored during the pregame and intermission. It's the new Canadian tradition...at least that's what Sportsnet keeps telling us it is.

  2. You mean to tell me you guys didn't enjoy the 5 minute piece they did on my buddy that is the equipment manager for our local junior team?

  4. I was optimistic until he actually started making decisions. His first two major decisions pretty much soured me on MB: 1- hiring MT 2- not resigning Subban to a front loaded contract prior to the lockout, or at least a long term deal. The only other team not to sign a young star to a long term deal prior to the lockout was the Avs with ROR. Both decisions backfired. hiring Daigneult instead of Robinson just made matters worse

  5. Like you, I was initially very optimistic about Bergevin, thinking we had a new-era GM who understood the direction the league is taking. The Subban trade was the decisive turning point for me. That revealed a completely old-school, hidebound organization that prioritized managerial ego over results. Nothing that has happened since has done anything other than reinforce that impression. This is the Toronto Maple Leafs 2.0, and being a Habs fan is analogous to cheering for the Leafs over the years that spanned Harold Ballard's time through to the Babcock era. Bergevin will need to be fired - or else will need to make some smart, forward-looking, franchise-changing moves unlike any he has made to this point - before I reassess what it means to be a Habs fan in this era. The franchise is a guaranteed money maker that does not need to prioritize excellence, and acts accordingly.
