Questions to ask the Canadiens

Nil d · Guru

Ask Cristobal Huet (1) if he expects to sign with the Habs for next season, and (2) what big free agent defenseman would he liike the Habs to sign or acquire to help out in front of him.

Huet: Who has become his closest friend in Montreal?

Koivu: What additions will it take to make the Habs serious contenders in the near future?

Kovalev: See above.

Souray: How have the rule changes affected your style of play? How have you been able to adapt?

Graham Rynbend: How often, in the back of your mind, do you question a player's injury, as to severity or legitimacy?

Simpson: How's the view from the gondola? How about the catering?

Ryder: Do you recognize this -

Zednik: Do you realize you have two hands?

Okay, I'm only kidding for the last three.

Heet, too funny. Great questions, too.

I'd want to ask Ryder is he had a chance to speak to Brad Gushue.

I'd want to ask Rivet how the atmosphere in the room has changed over the last few weeks comapared to it's low points this season and before.

And, yes, please beg Huet to stick around (so we can at least trade him lol)

Those Huet questions will have to wait. He's not starting so he won't be in the dressing room after the game.

You should ask if Aebischer and Huet used to summer together in the Alps.

I don't get this. He's not starting, but he'll be dressed (and have to undress, right? - where does he do this, if not the in dressing room?)

Ask Bob Gainey or Peirre Boivin if the lack of exposure on the CBC or English Television is a concern. Montreal used to be Canada's team but the CBC continues to neglect them. Maybe it's time to move Hockey Night in Canada to CTV or Global. Thanks Super Mario

Simple explanation. When the game is over, the dressing room is closed for about 10 players to allow players to remove their equipment, After that the doors open only a handful of players remain in the dressing room to answer questions. The rest go in the training room to do some biking endurance and the training room is off limits to the media.

Usually the goalie stays back, and someone from the defense corps and offense. if you get 5 players in there with the 20+ media frenzy that is more than enough to get a few sound bytes or appease the scribes

Everything happens so quick because Bob Gainey has his press conference 20 minutes after the game. Then the media run back upstairs to file their reports or upload their sound bytes.

Oh yeah, the press gallery has free wireless access too.

But I bet you'll love it, Johab.

i second that one. If i am correct, i recall Huet saying he plans on going back to france at the end of the season, at least thats what i remember him saying at the beginning of the season....
