Karine Hains: Decision Looming Last night, the Canadiens’ new VP Communications Chantal Machabée was on Tout le monde en parle (the biggest talk show in Québec), and she said a few things about the GM search.

Should be an exciting week.....for a change. Too bad the only excitement is off-ice. Nice work as always Karine. Thanks for all of your hard work and research.

"Lepage also told Machabée that in the past, when the show tried to have players as guest, Paul Wilson (the former VP Communications) tried his best to make it happen, but some player had no interest to do so whatsoever. He then asked her if that was likely to change and she did say that’s one of the things she wants to happen, she feels the players need to be known not only for their statistics but for their personality and mentions that Habs alumni were loved because they were more accessible, and the fans felt like they knew them."

Yeah, this'll end real well

I wonder if Hughes is the guy Gorton really wants, and if he is still trying to convince him to be the Habs GM.

Just not Briere....

I'm hoping that the rumors aren't 100% accurate and that Marc Denis is still in the mix. I'll be kinda disappointed if they hire Brière but whoever it is I'll give the guy a chance to prove himself before criticizing too much lol

Previously it was based on loose comments and speculation. That's pretty direct and it's (frank)ing idiotic of a franchise who struggles so mightily to attract players but doesn't struggle to attract fans, especially when winning...to be this tone deaf is akin to punching oneself in the nuts and not understanding why it hurts

This!

It don't matter snots, it could be the janitor, this is Gorton's show..

I know this seems to really get to you but I think there's a healthy "middle ground" to be reached, I doubt that Chantal and the habs' point is to force players to go on every talk show in Quebec, give thousands of interviews, and be on the cover of every magazine.

The guy female doged/jokes about not hearing from Price since July. Is anybody not aware why that is really?

Would you want to be the person in the media everywhere with this poopshow of a team? There is a balance there, but Montreal is not a very friendly environment for players and the media at times, so I understand the reluctance.
