Patrick Roy, class act (4th class, but still, I guess that IS a class).

The soap opera which is the Montreal Canadiens.



In this episode, the search for a french speaking coach continues ...

While the current coach, who resides under the bus, awaits his fate the media is waiting for the next media moment from owner Beer Guy Geoff.
In a side story I was wondering, where is the highest paid Montreal player, Scott Gomez, right now ? It was funny how the NY Rangers suckered Montreal to take him after the Rangers realized the mistake they made. When you make a mistake, nothing better then to find a bigger sucker. Gomez does not speak french to make matters worse.
Summer 2014 is approaching, better resign Gomez now and avoid the rush later.

A win ! A win for the english only coach. OK so it was bound to happen at some point and it was against Ottawa, but still they won for their coach. Maybe he can ride in the bus for awhile now instead of under it.

Leaf fan Steven Stamkos and Quebecers Marc-Andre Bergeron and Vinny LeCavalier, from a suburb of Montreal, all scored to help Tampa to a 4-3 regulation win over Montreal. Vinny had the winner.
Back to under the bus for coach Randy. Maybe Geoff can order a specially designed bus with a seat underneath the vehicle or maybe he, coach Cunneyworth, can make use of the storage compartment.

I could not make up stuff better then this and be believable.

Now GM Gauthier takes his shot at Cunneyworth and apologizes for hiring an english only coach. As if that is not enough, the players are fighting each other at practice.
Subban and Plekanec got into it today. Punches were thrown after the players got into the fight until teammates broke it up.

P.K. Subban would look good in a Maple Leaf uniform and maybe Burke should make a pitch for him but unfortunately will do not have any trade bait francophones in the organization.:confused:

Who knows what will happen next with this soap opera known as the Montreal Canadiens.
Maybe if they lose again tonight the french GM will fight the english only coach at practice tomorrow.

Not looking good for Montreal already in tonight's game ... it is in Montreal. 5-7-6 at home.


Go Jets Go !

No Jet fuel last night. Bastards had some on New Year's Eve.


So does the english speaking coach get another week ... maybe even one without getting thrown under the bus by one of his bosses ?

I guess we will have to start calling Cunneyworth the english first coach as he is making an effort to learn french. I am wondering if owner Geoff has taken notice ? Is it alright for Randy to sit inside the bus now ?

Under the "It just keeps getting better" heading. Or is that funnier ?

Here we go again. The nutcase group, who want Cunneyworth out, are now targeting players. They have 'taken notice' that Montreal only has two Quebec players on the roster. They also note that the music(lol) played at the Bell Center, is in english. They blame Geoff Molson for much of this mess.

I believe the kooks would be happy with Roy as coach/GM. Hire him now ! Before another team grabs him !




The circus IS in town.
1993 is getting further and further in the past.

To the clowns on this thread, you have noticed that MTL has won their last 2 games right?

And even better that the Sens are ahead of the Leafs in the standings? Geez I wonder why the unbiased faithful haven't brought this up,lol.

The protest group must also love Captain America wearing the 'C' for Team Quebec. In addition the assistant captain is also an American and the other assistant is the often injured Russian d-man.

Almost four million dollars per for Josh Gorges ?
Where is the $7 million dollar man, Scott Gomez ?
Kaberle at $4.2. What ? Did the GM feel Montreal did not have enough of the cap on overpaid players ?

Pat Roy is the only missing piece. They should get him while they can.

GM Gauthier should be extended and given a raise.


I cannot wait to see if they win their third in a row. Should book the parade route just in case.

I would like the Hab-lettes to hire Patrick Roy as Montreal coach just for the sake of seeing him get fired quicker than Barry Melrose but the Francophone way!

Tonight, at the ring my Bell Center, Halak returns !

Jaroslav Halak returns for the first time since the infamous(?) trade that sent him to ST.Louis. The Blues are in fourth in the West on a three game win streak. Nothing they would like better then to give their teammate a solid win in Montreal.
Eller came the other way in that deal and he has been hot lately. Should be a good one to keep an eye on.

SHUTOUT !

Halak gets a shutout in his return to Montreal. ST.Louis wins 3-0.
Montreal managed 19 shots on goal.
If only the coach spoke french everything would be OK.
