I knew Wayne Bews, I worked at the station for a few seasons on the morning show back then, was on the morning show with Denis, Shaun and Elliot and did a bit with PJ and Co ... This station has a story to tell, especially when we were on Greene. I miss those days, lol, Pat the tech was a ball and Shaun pure classe as well as Elliot.

Still blab with the guys from time to time but I'd buy the book if it came out.

Damn it's a slaughter in the french sport media, nowadays. WTF is going on. JC gets axed on radio(to the joy of Michou), Morisette out. Some guys are quiting on their own too. I think TVA as a whole will be sold or they'll just close TVA Sport once the Habs contract is up.

I remain convinced if the Nords don't return, Quebecor should just start their own league. They have the money but I'm afraid Pleadeau is not much a visionary to do that.

Marshy will warm up to the Habs market when he’s 38 washed up and desperate for one last contract like all QC players ‘was always my dream to play in MTL’
This is the typical argument when a QC player wants to come here when he's 34 y or +. The argument is he's washed up and he will have a free pass from the medias and the fans because we will love him anyway. He could play like Armia (without any drive and emotion) and medias will not be on his case. But nobody are hard with non QC players over 34 yrs old anyway. So what's the point?

Or second argument : The QC player is in his prime, he negociate with many teams and the knowned fact Mtl market wants him, his value will raise so Mtl will have to overpay or he will sign with increased value somewhere else.

This is not totally false but so many posters will be negative about the player in any case because of the past examples. It's very old grumpy man way of seing things. It's not cold analysing, it's old rant, it could go on until senile old age in a wheel chair with diapers, lol. If a person is young and don't want to sound like that, I suggest to change his mind and be more open and positive. Leave the old rants for stubborn grumpy old men.

Have a beer, cheers !

Just seems like it is nonsense most of the time.

Nobody hated Danault, there was a battle of whether he was a 3C or more than that.. but that isn't hatred.

Really the fan base only rears its ugly head with the Slaf/Reinbacher picks.
There are plenty of assholes in EVERY fanbase world fn wide. I don't know if our group here are so Habscentric they have no clue what goes on with other teams or in other sports and other leagues. The players pay attention to the fans in the stands and are often astounded by how much support they get despite being ****. The last time I checked there were no where near the levels of vitriol on social media here that can be found in world/club football.

He was fine in the in the early 70's when shows were not bombastic and he does have many good tunes,but overrated as are the Velvet Underground and Grateful Dead.
The Velvet Underground & Nico is probably the best album of the 1960's, at least for rock and pop. Suck it Pet Sounds and Sargent Peppers. Come at me bro! :D

How was Danault treated badly by the fans? I mean there was some voices that thought he was barely a third liner but appart from that he was a fan favorite.
There was posters here posting every day negative about Danault. Thery didn't post the next day Danault scored. had 2 assists or was star of the game. When Danault was asking 5M or more, some people here called him stupid (he was worth 3M maximum) and the mods didn't do anything. Some posters had a free pass to bash him every day, it was litterally trolling. And mods didn't do anything.

Let’s write a book on the demise of 690 — we would easily outsell theirs.
I can't beleive the anglo people of Mtl can't bring anything better than this clown show, low quality, etc. The artistic life of anglos in Mtl is rich and diverse. Mtl anglos love hockey, how this 690 isn't better?

He shouldn't be a winger - he absolutely should be improving his shooting.
Yes he should improve his shooting as many players should work on this aspect as the majority of goals are scored from shooting the puck.
As for playing wing or center, he appears to be able to thrive in either role and be a positive asset. Will he play center or wing? so much depends on how this team will be when fully constructed. Who knows,trades can happen and Montreal acquires a proven # 1 or 2 center,being adaptable is a commodity that is desirable in my books.
