Could you give us an update s'il vous plait?
Man how things have changed in 2 short months lol...... karma karma karma, she is so sexy but such a bitch
I've always believed that our good friend JC was always a closet habs fan. Since he's currently unavailable, let me take care of the update:
The habs are the worst team in the entire NHL (by far!!) since December 3rd. The second-worst?? None other than the Buffalo Sabres, who beat these same habs last night. The habs are a very bad team!! As of now, the current edition is the worst habs team of all time!! I kid you not!!
Just an hour or so ago, i read an interview of former habs great and GM Serge Savard where he stated that using the old Carey Price excuse is ridiculous, no matter how good the player is. No single player, no matter how good he is, should have such a negative impact on his team once he goes down to injury. The fact everyone stops scoring and keeps making boneheaded defensive plays is the main reason why the team sucks so much. Mike Condon isn't Carey Price, but he's played well in most games. He's kept his team in most games and were it not for a pure lack of execution, the habs would still be a playoffs team. But they suck!!!
One of my sources told me last night that he was told by a reliable source of his that Michel Therrien will be fired within a week from now. Who knows, it may happen tomorrow. Marc Bergevin will address the media and will admit that he erred in guaranteeing Therrien's job for the rest of the season barely two weeks ago. We'll see.
People seem to forget that hockey is a business. The only reason a billionaire buys a hockey team is to make money. And the best time for a team to make money is during the playoffs when the billionaire owner gets to keep most of the revenue made during the playoffs. Marc Bergevin has a mandate to make the playoffs. If he fails to make the playoffs, it means the Molson family and its shareholders will lose millions this season. The fans have already started to stay away from the Bell Centre and the scalpers (good for them!!!) are now struggling to get rid of tickets. This is a franchise in total dissaray right now and there is no end in sight to their current freefall.
It doesn't seem that a major trade will happen. Bergevin doesn't seem to have the ability to make a major trade. Most of his trades have been bargain-bin type of trades with 4th liners and minor league players. These are typical 'Marc Bergevin' trades. He's also been firm in his press briefings where he told the media he will not part with the younger talent other GMs are asking for.
I have a question for you:
Will Carey Price be back with the habs??? What if his knee never heals properly and he's forced to retire from hockey early?? Many players have had to retire prematurely over the years and the majority of them weren't even goalies. A goalie needs healthy knees. What if he comes back and gets hurt immediately?? And will he want to return when the team wants him to if he doesn't feel ready? Don't forget that he'll be an unrestricted free agent in just a couple of years and right now, things aren't looking very good for him to be able to snatch that big contract he was hoping to get. Teams will stay away from a goalie with bad knees, no matter how good he once was.
