It wasn't saying that he didn't mind the trade that angered me. It was the racial stuff. No need to go there.

lots of funny people out there

I'm just angry about the PK thing. Cant you guys recognice a rage induced rant when you see one? Lol

Actually, its not that PK was traded that has CC-- and many of us, including me--going through the five stages of grief mostly alternating between grief and despair( kudos to Norm for helping me identify what was happening). No. Most of the die hard fans that are taking this trade badly are questioning our fandom because the trade seems dumb. How could management not get more?! And if they couldn't get more then they felt compelled to take what they could get for PK. In that case, they weren't just shopping him, they were desperate to get rid of him. Once again, if PK had brought back Weber and a top prospect we wouldn't be so devastated as our faith in management--a relatively new group, which we had high hopes for-- would not have been shattered. I was hoping that if they did trade PK the return would be a home-run for Montreal. As it turns out, MB couldn't even get Nashville to include a top young forward or a prospect. Given that our most desperate need is a top 6 forward this trade seems like a sideways move at best and given Weber's age, far more likely to turn out like the Chelios or Gomez deals . To summarize, we have not "gone off the deep end". On the contrary, we are bereft, because a manager we had faith in made a bad trade that has almost no hope of being a long-term win for our beloved Habs. From a manager who preaches patience and a long term plan it is a hard thing to swallow That's why CC is mulling over As I have already posted, I can't seem to break my own addiction to this team so I will continue to hope that everyone who thinks that Nashville got a steal on this trade is wrong and that Bergevin is a genius. However, only a Cup will make me feel better about this trade. .

Yeah, it seems stacked odds Price makes the team immeasurably better Radulov fixes what has been a long term problem Petry missed half the year Max will be healthy as his knee bothered him last year. Galchenyuk and Gallagher are still taking steps forward All of that offsets any loss from Subban to Weber. That said, this trade... by itself... is a downgrade that didn't need to be made.

Welcome number 2 to my ignore list....

why thank you Don, I put a lot of thought into it.

The wording for the Foundation Award suggests that the club (ie, management) submits the nomination, not the players. The player vote one is the King Clancy, which is what Pacioretty was up for. (Condon was the Masterton nominee.) https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-foundation-player-award-finalists-named/c-280547474 For the Masterton write-up, it states that the players voted: http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=877399

Radulov is the most purely offensively talented player in this class, not named Steven Stamkos. We didn't get an Alex Semin. We got a better version of Alex Kovalev. Also Radulov does backcheck and play two-way hockey, he was doing that very well and was the best all-around forward in the KHL. Don't think that he can't play in his own end, he can, and does.

You and me both. Only harder and with more feeling. and if he could catch MB on the back hand that would be good too. JK

I'd like him better if he did do that to le genius.

Yah, the best thing about this signing is that it finally frees us up to trade Subban in exchange for that stud FW the team so desperately needs

The team won't struggle as long as Price is healthy - unless, of course, the players have tuned Therrien out. It would be hilarious if Weber ended up leading a rebellion against the coach Hey, a man can dream.

As soon as you said you don't mind the trade, you knew you would have crap heaped on you didn't you? Even minor criticism of Subban in the past was met with a ton of supporters freaking out in his defense.

I guess it's okay for some Habs fans to be racist again? Wonderful.
