Yeah, think about it, Gainey knowingly traded for a guy making $7 million a year who will put up 60 points, but he's being paid more than 80-90 point guys.

IHeartSteveMcQueen · 11-04-2009, 04:20 AM

Gomez is overpaid but he was also bait for Cammalleri and Gionta, nothing wrong there. And as much as I love Saku, Gomez is a much better player at the moment. I've also never bought into the whole Lecavalier thing, he seems like the sort of guy who can't take the pressure of playing in Montreal. He is also being paid almost 8 million dollars until he's 40 and already showing signs of wearing down. Gomez is much less of an albatross, and a bunch of pathetic, misguided people won't pin their hopes and dreams on him. Can you imagine the uproar in the press if Lecavalier started the year here with 2 goals in 15 games? And besides, last I checked we're only 15 games into this. Gainey's biggest mistake by far was hiring Guy Carbonneau, that set the franchise back three years.

so if we fire Gainey who becomes GM?

The reason we had to get the Gomez, Gionta, etc. is because the team Gainey built from 2003 to 2009 was a massive failure (taking the 2008 anomaly away) and because all those so-good-prospects are not able to take the lead. And that failure can't be all blamed on Guy Carbonneau, he had to work with the players Gainey gave him. Carbonneau wasn't a great coach, but to say he setted back the franchise a few year is excessive. The Cammalleri signature is OK (still 6 millions a year, he is not a bargain either) but we basically pay 5 and 7 millions a year for 50-60 pts guy in Gionta and Gomez.

You are probably right that Lecavalier here would have been too explosive, but still i'm not sure Gomez will still like the montréal pressure if the team ends up being officially eliminated from the playoffs in february or march and when fans and media will be searching for culprits (including overpaid players...)

You think Sergei would report to the Kandahar Bulldogs?

Ok I'm gonna send my resume. Who should I send it to, Mr Molson or Mr Boivin?

My first day in office. I fire Trevor Timmins and replace him with J-F. The french media will be thrilled the head scout is a pure laine

. J-F can then spend hours at the rinks in the 450 area and spot young french talents.

I then hire McQueen as head coach. Which would leave Jacques Martin as the assistant coach. Then we can finally see Kyle Chipchura blossom and become the team's number 1 centre. Of course this would mean I would have to sign Oleg Petrov, because Oleg Petrov is to Mcqueen what Ryder is to Julien.

And since we all have SA and don't want to deal with the media, I'd hire Lithium as team's official spokesman. He would handle all the press conferences. ''So what's the deal with Carey Price's confidence Ryan?'' '' He needs to conquer that mother freaker!!!!!''

How many years before we become cup contenders?

IHeartSteveMcQueen · 11-04-2009, 02:33 PM

I'm afraid that my french isn't quite up to the Montreal media's standards so I will just settle for the position of defense coach.

And Lecavalier would veto any trade to Montreal, I don't blame him. We will never have another french superstar here, we will just eat them alive or smother them to death, which is pretty sad.

IHeartSteveMcQueen · 11-04-2009, 02:34 PM

and its only been 15 games.

Haha sure, when the Bruins win, you and everyone has to change their avatar to Milan Lucic.

Since the Habs won't win, there's no need to discuss what I'll have to do if the Bruins lose.

That's fine. It's a naked man and not a naked woman, so I shouldn't get a warning/ban.
I hope Rask starts.

Ok so it's settled. Nude Chara for you, Milan Lucic for us.
1 week?

pokeherpro · 11-04-2009, 10:52 PM

Sure, if that's how long you want to see Lucic, then so be it.

I will turn Hal Gill into Larry Robinson.

La_Resistance · 11-05-2009, 01:44 PM

Do any of you play mise-o-jeu? I rarely play because usually I find the odds pretty bad. But I liked what i saw tonight and decided to play my first ticket of the season.

Montreal 2.10 vs Boston 1.85
Vancouver 1.85 vs Minnesota 2.10
Calgary 1.85 vs St-Louis 2.10

Savard, Lucic and Kreici are out for the Bruins
D.Sedin, Demitra and Luongo out for the Canucks
I actually like the flames on the road and the blues have been struggling as of late.

10$ for 81.60$

Carey Price better not screw me over.
