I believe it was even reported, after Gainey left Stars GM gig to take care of his daughters substance issues, he called up the Molsons and said “I’m ready to get back into management”, Andre Savard was promptly notified he was no longer GM...

George Gillett owned the Habs then, not the Molsons.

I just don't trust Dr Ducharme's evaluation skills and it has been this way for some time.

Chiarot will be out 8 weeks (ends up at 5)
Price will be out a week (ends up at 5 weeks)
Merrill will be out for 1 to 2 weeks (looks like 4)
Evans will out a loooongggg time (back skating in 10 days)

Dr Recchi > Dr Ducharme

Hopefully Merrill is out for the season. He’s awful.

Gainey called Dan O’Neill (then Molson CEO who was negotiating Coors deal), who let the Molson family know & who had poached Boivin from CCM to become Habs Prez before the sale to Gillet in 2000.

Concurrently the Molson / Coors deal was going down, HQ in Colorado where Gillet was based and was close to the Coors family who had let him know there was a hockey team for sale in Mtl - there was a cesspool of inbred dominoes.

There was an entire article on this, when it was announced Savard “had accepted to become AGM allowing Gainey to become GM”

Looks to me like far too many people in Vegas have been hitting the buffet tables HARD.

They do also have salad bars, guys. Just sayin'.

All this talk about size reminds of our series vs the Booins, many moons ago, when Saku/Zednik had to face the infamous 600 lbs line and we all know what happened there...
(yeah, you'll me that Vegas has faster guys but still...)

Quite vacuous

Going to game one. Hoping to avoid Habsy.

Dude. You're sitting beside me. Might be difficult.

Just get really baked.

Just get really baked.

It's a recreational marijuana state. That's a given. Not Ray though after the last time. Cops are still looking for the culprit.

 

[Habsy]

Ok. Someone has to know how to find out where the Habs are staying.

not so sure about that — was just browsing Craigslist Vegas and some guy called Pensfan is spamming the board offering to switch single tickets!
