a quote from espn's rating of the hurricanes:

The Hurricanes move into the top spot after another perfect week. Yes, some of those wins came vs. Montreal and Florida

So we're officially a joke again... I don't mind regular ups and downs, but at some point the chain has to be broken. Whatever common factor, be it personnel, bias or attitude, that has plagued this organization for the last umpteen years needs to be exorcised.

How teams from non-hockey towns can keep embarrasing us at home is beyond me.

And why? Cronyism and favouritism mixed with a cult devotion to a defunct way of hockey. Satisfaction with "Hey, I know you... didn't you used to be the Montreal Canadiens?". Status quo for ever mo'...

Part of organizations is organizing. The precious little we have is tarnished by ridiculous mythology and cultural bias. No drafting, no scouting, no development, no discipline - no central theme directing progress. No brain needed to figure out the result.

It's time for the people running this team to stop acting as if they're teenagers afraid of what their parents will think, and to grow up and face the fact that they are shaping a 21st century professional franchise.

Not a ghost ship from the past...

That would have made a nice blog, Brook.  You should get yourself hired out as a ghost writer for Mario!

Well put, brooklyn.  I am so tired of hearing the TV commentators talk about the "storied franchise", the "legendary Habs", and, in apparent ignorance of the fact that the Forum is now a shopping mall, "This famous building" in reference to the Bell Centre.  That kind of BS makes me think that we've all missed a major point, and that is in the minds of most of the Free World, HNL hockey in general, and the Habs in particular, are the modern day equivalent of Roller Derby.
