My Damphousse prediction from yesterday is gaining momentum!

Nill would be a miracle in MTL

Always had a lot of respect for Bob Gainey. But I'd be lying if I said I'm not happy he's gone.

he is paid better than some gm's in detroit. i agree with you that he should be a candidate they interview, but not sure he'd want to come here.

I very much agree.

With what he was given he did ok, up until the Centenial season and everything after that was a failure.

Molson: Best GM possible, french a plus

Savard: French a must!

No wonder this organization is where they are.
- Oilhab

That was the politically correct thing to say. What I don't get is why the GM has to abaolutely speak french. They don't talk to the press very often (unless you are Brian Burke). The coach makes more sense, but not the GM.

I know I just don't know why the next guy to speak contradicts the owner, why not atleast try and show a unified front.

Besides most smart phones have a translator app, that's all any one needs.

Il a failli passer incognito avec sa casquette...le fait de dire monsieur à tous les 3 secondes au téléphone l'a trahi.

So Burke is an Option?

the worst part is most of the french journalists speak english. in fact, most of them also tweet in english. i don't understand what the problem is. the fans? (frank) you can't read subtitles or a translation 2 minutes after he's done talking?

Yeah, I don't think the money Gomez made this season had much to do with the level of suckfest we had to go through as fans this season.
- Pecafan Fan

If you have no way / no one to use that money, then it is not really an issue, except to the bottom line profitability of the team.
