Go Habs Go!
- Thread starter talkinghead
- Start date
On another note, there was a rumour circulating that Andrew Shaw was involved in a loud shouting match with Michel Therrien after a game in Philly when Shaw had once again taken a couple of stupid penalties which didn't the habs' cause in a losing effort. Carey Price has supposedly stepped in between the two to stop things from escalating. Shaw laughed earlier today when he first heard about it and flatly denied it.
Trade deadline is a week away. I'll once again make a bold prediction (like i did last winter/spring when i predicted PK Subban's days were numbered) and i predict that Alex Galchenyuk and Nathan Beaulieu will not be with the habs next season and one of them (or maybe both) will be traded next week if the right offer comes along.
I also predict that Greg Pateryn's days with the habs are numbers. His wife recently referred to the former and current coaches as 'fucking french fucks' on her since-deleted Twitter account and this is unacceptable. I doubt Pateryn will play another game in a habs uniform. For the past several days, he's rumoured to have been shopped around to every single team in the league, with no takers. No doubt his wife's irrational outbursts over the past year hasn't helped matters.
If they want to trade him they need to make him play. He did 2 days ago and had a good game. I hope the Habs will get at least something useful in return...
Cheers,
Word is that they're practically giving him away, but no teams have shown any interest. I'd take him with the Leafs, but the wife seems to be quite the baggage, which is likely why no one wants to touch him right now.
Julien on thin ice
by Billy Bottom, Montreal Examiner
MONTREAL----Insiders close to team management have learned that habs coach Claude Julien's days with the team may be numbered if the team doesn't rebound from its current skid and ends up missing the playoffs. "No job is safe, including Julien's and Bergevin's", said the source. Although Claude Julien was just hired and handed a big multi-year contract making him the third-highest coach in the history of hockey, sources say that team owner Geoff Molson has never been a huge Julien fan. "A friend of Mr. Molson's told a source of mine that when Geoff Molson was 12 years old, he had attended a Canadiens/Nordiques game at the Montreal Forum and when he asked Claude Julien for an autograph following the game, Molson was shocked and hurt to be snubbed by the one-time journeyman player", said the source. Another source heard that Julien had even given the young Molson the middle-finger "Trudeau salute", which Molson has refused to elaborate on. "Molson #### hates his guts!", said the source. "He always has!"
Those close to the team have maintained all along that Bergevin's job is safe for now, but he was given an ultimatum by Geoff Molson when he agreed to Julien's hiring: "Julien better bring us the Stanley Cup this season or else." With the team not playing any better since Michel Therrien's firing, Geoff Molson's patience may not be for long, especially since he still has to pay Michel Therrien's salary for another two years. What also infuriated Molson was to learn that Julien still had not converted to Molson breweries products since he was first fired ten years ago: "Geoff Molson's brother hired him the first time and hadn't even bothered to consult Geoff about the hiring, knowing full well the move would have been rejected by the younger Molson. Geoff Molson was very unhappy and threatened to leave the organization, but was promised Julien would have a short leash and would likely be fired within five years", said the source. This is also why Mr. Molson decided to get rid of Pierre Boivin and he took over as team president. He wanted full control of the team and not be blindsided by any more surprises.
The Canadiens next face the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday at the Air Canada Centre. The habs have owned the Leafs over the past two seasons and it will be quite a blow to Claude Julien's chances of remaining with the team throughout the rest of the season if the habs lose their next game.

Well, people should not be on merb anyways when they're at work.
Don't be silly.
The end of an era
The sensational David Desharnais was traded to the Edmonton Oilers for a defenceman who beat testicular cancer.
Long live the king!
In other news, the habs also picked up Steve Ott for a fifth-round pick. I like this trade for the habs. Mrs Ott is also one of the hottest hockey wives around!
