Reading this warms my heart
The Habs have never been the same since they left the Forum but the reality is they have never recovered from one of the last games played in the historic barn.
Roy of course won the Stanley Cup later that year with Colorado and on his day with the Cup he showed up at the Habs office and startled a receptionist by plunking down the Cup and saying 'Remember me?'
The Habs have to hire him to be GM and see if he can work with Claude.
Stu Cowan: Ticked off — no scoring, few wins, out of playoffs … and boring
SUNRISE, Fla. — The Canadiens are simply a bad hockey team.
That’s the best way to describe this season that is basically over for the Canadiens two games before the midway point of the season with a 16-19-4 record following Saturday night’s 2-0 loss to the Florida Panthers at the BB&T Center.
Not only are they bad — they’re boring.
A fan sitting in the first row behind the Canadiens bench Saturday night got some TV time while wearing a red T-Shirt that read: “GEOFF FIRE BERGEVIN!”
It’s something that has to be crossing owner Geoff Molson’s mind at this point. If it isn’t — it should. Another fan in the stands was Patrick Roy, which should light social media on fire back in Montreal.
Whether Molson decides Bergevin or someone else is the man to turn his team around, it’s probably going to take a long time. As the legendary Red Fisher — who was properly named to the Order of Canada on Friday — might have written when he was still at the Montreal Gazette: the Canadiens are now in Year 26 of their rebuild since the last Stanley Cup.
