Melnick mentioned the piece so I retrieved it for comedic purposes. And that makes me a reader of the rag it came from, according to you.
So you make it up as you go. Great.

Won't stop our man though. PAS D'EXCUSES used to be on the wall, but no longer. Notwithstanding that the team has scored 0 or 1 goal in a third of its games and 2 goals or less in more than half its games. The awful scoring woes would not be helped by Weber/Price being healthy. The moves Bergevin has made over the past 2-3 years have led us to this current abyss.
Too much to ask I suppose but perhaps some of the journos might bring this up vs. letting Bergevin slide with the injury excuse again.
Marinaro is a meaningless ass clown and isn't worth discussing any further .

Lol Engles is such a puke even when I agree with the overall premise.
This sort of bashing the fans is so stupid. People are going to boo him just like they booed subban and every other player of signficance who returns. But Eric "hockeybuzz" Engels knows more then us stupid fans who pay money to have a bit of fun at the rink.

So you agree with him but think he's a puke for saying it? He's not calling anyone stupid.

I'm on board with the fan bashing.
Idiots have been so f***ing soft at the Bell Centre on the clowns in charge.
Leafs fans are better than Habs fans right now.

Just heard the clip on 690 and Gagnon actually called DLR "useless" on air this morning. There's been a lot of useless with the Habs this season starting with the owner, GM, coaches, most players, the AHL so pretty much everyone in the entire organization.
Why even single out a 4th liner in DLR Frankie? Grow a set and go after the real problem with this organization Frankie with tough questions instead of going after a non factor 4th liner.

The only 'fans' who hold Radulov in contempt are the dwindling members of the Bergevin Defense League. Fans of the team identified Radu as a player we should have retained. Instead, he gets a take it or leave it offer from our noted talent evaluator.
Engles says as much in the piece. and if I happened to be at the rink tonight, I'd stand and applaud Radulov. Anybody wants to boo tonight, stroll up toward the Habs box and go boo the morons residing therein. Think how much fun THAT would be.

Come on. He's calling fans stupid if they boo Radulov. It's condescending not on jack todd levels but it's still bad.

No he's not. He's saying they're incorrect in blaming Radulov. Calling fans misguided is not calling them stupid. You're inferring way to much from the article.

Sometimes I wonder what the hell is going on behind the scenes on these nightly Quebec TV sports shows.
I have my doubts about the people who are co-hosts with Dave Morissette on his show. They're having way too much of a good time and there's nothing wrong with that. They're not meant to be taken too seriously and their "analysis" can mostly be reduced to tired cliches. I must admit, there isn't much by way of content but I PVR it anyway, since I get a good laugh from some of their hosts.
And then there was this past Thursday's show. Morissette breaks for commercials and returns at precisely the 34:49 mark, and while the show's logo and theme song are fading out, you hear the unmistakable sound of an epic burp that got progressively loud as the image fades in on Dave Morissette and Michel Godbout standing at a podium. Godbout is staring down visibly embarrassed and Morissette is looking at the camera and laughing his head off.
And then Morissette ensues with "c'est pas à cause que les Canadien perd, qu'on aura pas the plaisir, han?"
And Godbout retorts "Moi j'suis heureux d'être avec toi, Dave." Followed by Morrissette: "C'est le party pendant les pauses!"
TRANSLATION:
Morissette: Just cause the Habs are losing doesn't mean we can't have fun, huh?
Godbout: I'm happy to be here with you, Dave.
Morissette: There's a party (going on here) during the (commercial) break.
I mean, this wasn't just a regular burp -- it was one of those megaphone ones that gets progressively louder, where even if you only catch the end, it gives you a good indication of the degree of shamelessness the Morissette crew is willing to entertain, even if there is the very real danger that when you're doing a live show, this kind of behavior can bleed into the audio at any time.
Begs the question, what else is going on when they break for commercials? Are there any world-breaking fart projectiles? Any bodily fluids used for distance records? Artistic merit marks awarded for dry-humping techniques? This is a pig that no amount of lipstick is going to camouflage.
That reminds me of the ol' Yvon Pedneault off-air rant on Atlanta's ugly jerseys.

Was that caught on air? I don't remember it.
By the way, on a different topic altogether. You know your standard joke about Juliette Pétry? Guess what Petry's wife's name is.

I always notice that he will shit on Bergevin super fast but he is very careful with his words when talking about Molson, like he's trying not to shit on his future boss.
What do you expect him to say? He's not going to say F*** MOLSON... that would be career suicide. Wasn't long ago the Habs sent a memo to the media about talking badly about the team. Or do we still think that was made up?

Without deviation progress is not possible
Sending out a memo to curtail criticism with implicit threats will always backfire. The media have a job to do and will do it.
The trick is to do things above board, competently and professionally. This is what prevents criticism. Molson and/or Bergevin should clean up their acts on and off the ice if they want to feel less pressure from people paid to talk about sports.

So this Morning, all the talk is about Shaw.
Do you think that, if it was someone like Alex G instead of Andrew.... would the media be doing the same thing?
I am inclined to say yes only because his recent play has garnered some affection from the media. If he was still struggling then I am not so sure.
Of course RDS rules do not apply here....
