This week will tell all...

And-O Barry33 totally agrees with you. One of 2 things needs to happen very soon.

Gainey keeps Julien and makes a trade or 2. This tells the remaining players this. "We are in charge here not you. You willl learn the system and play it or be in Columbus or Hamilton

Fire Gainey and stand pat. This tells the players that Gainey has confidence in them and it is now up to them to right the ship.

To me there is no in between. I agree with And-o in that I see problems with how the players are on the ice with each other. Watching Toronto I see them ALL smiling and congratulating each other after a goal. I do not see that in Montreal.

A trade will not only benifit the team...but the posters...it will divert our attention to another BOB IS A CRAZY MINDED FREAK WHO PULLED ONE OUT OF HIS SLEEVE AGAIN!!!!! Some positive in that i guess...;)

Gainey's the best in the business. It's too bad that the Thornton heist happened before the Habs were able to pull off some grand larceny.

anyone have any guesses who the main problem player(s) in the dressing room might be??? And-o has his suspicions...you can see "issues" when goals are scored and players celebrate in isolation...or in small groups! ...ever notice that Craig Rivet always seems to either get REALLY happy about a goal...or merely turn and skate away????? Hmmmmmmm!

Something tells me its a division between the French and English speaking. No proof, just a gut feeling. ( Ribs/Dags/Theo/Begin) Vs ( Koivu/Rivet/Kovalev/Zednik/Souray).

Ribero is the problem. He actually thinks he is worth something. Lets get his big head playing in Columbas where no one will know him, or even give two SH$##'s about him. Finally that clown would recognize what a useles fool he is outside of Quebec...

Are you kidding??? That never happens in Quebec!

if you remember 2 years ago it was the same problem... 2 group in the dressing room. and guess what, Ribeiro IS at the head of one of them.

In my opinion, he's the first guy that needs to go. followed really closelly by Dagenais (i still can't figure out why he plays so much)

Earlier this season, Ribs made a comment to the Journal de Montreal to the effect that his line would be producing more if Ryder could finish more of his set-ups. A real team player.

And Dagenais -- that guy might have a good shot, but it looks like he's running on the ice. Not to mention that he can't turn left -- like Zoolander.

One thing the Broons wanted to make sure was that Joey Thornton was shipped as far away form beantown as humanly possible in the NHL. Ya don't get much further in NHL wilderness than San Jose.
