All these things took too long to happen unfortunately.
Radulov loved Montreal. He played for the Remparts for 2 seasons, and was hoping to be drafted in Montreal. He wanted to stay, but Bergevin disrespected him publicly during the negotiation, so he took the better option.
I don't feel bad for millionaires. They will be just fine.I'm sad for MB as a human that surely deeply cared for MTL's success, but we needed a new direction. The decade-long plan had ended.
Mr. Timmins, well, good riddance.
Totally wrong. The guy used Montréal ass spring board to come back to the NHL . Nobody wanted to hire him. Only Montréal and Detroit.
But how will he respond to the French Media if he doesn’t speak French?
BarginBin IS a very clever nickname.So many questions going forward.
How will this affect the futures of the likes of Gallagher/Price/Petry?
Does Gorton bring in staff now to get a headstart on the draft/trade deadline?
Does an extra layer between the owner and the team reduce Molson's influence?
How exactly will Gorton and the new GM separate their duties? (Could get spicy)
How will Habs fans en masse react to having a non french speaking president?
Will we finally get an honest to God rebuild, communicated as such?
What happens to Ducharme?
Will we be able to come up with a more clever nickname than Bargain Bin?
He was a huge reason why they made the playoffs that year. MB low balled him and he went to Dallas. He said he loved it in Montreal so you're right about that.He was probably the best all-round forward while he was in Montreal, and the Stars seem to like him...
I would luv to see MB join the Leafs. I see it now.Lets hope it's a team in I division
It would be great if he joins the bruins for 10 years
Radulov once said he loved it in Nash before bolting for RussiaHe was a huge reason why they made the playoffs that year. MB low balled him and he went to Dallas. He said he loved it in Montreal so you're right about that.
I'm sure this has been posted before but if this is true it's fantastic news
They all say that when they leave...He was a huge reason why they made the playoffs that year. MB low balled him and he went to Dallas. He said he loved it in Montreal so you're right about that.
He bolted for Russia because of ice off issues. Totally different situation.Radulov once said he loved it in Nash before bolting for Russia

He bolted for tax free Russian rubles, his agent had found a way around “the issues”…He bolted for Russia because of ice off issues. Totally different situation.
On 11 July 2008, it was announced that although Radulov was still under contract with the Nashville Predators for one more season, he had signed a three-year contract with Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), which would be extended to four years. Radulov had previously notified the Predators organization of his desire to play in Russia, stating that he was being offered better terms & conditions.
Youre right about that. We're heard that before. I genuinely got the feeling that he loved playing for the team though he was fantastic that season.They all say that when they leave...
This is looking like the Habs is Gorton’s team.
If you think that Roy will come in and answer and follow Gorton’s plan, you guys are wrong.
Roy would want complete control.
Nope has to be frenchYes!! Yeeeeesssssssss!!! YYYEEEESSSSS!! FINALLY! This feels even better than getting to the cup finals. So good.
Can we please get it right this time and hire the best staff possible?! Make a real plan. Vision. Start drafting and developing properly!
Ducharme said it best when he said "mmmppppfff mmmmmff mmm mmmm shit I'm next mmmrrpphh mmmerrrrmmp"
Lol 91.9 are saying that Bergevin and Timmins will easily find others jobs (as in equal positions).
Lol, all these years of suck are not enough?
This part of the MB regime that bothered me a lot. Here is Mitch's response:
MB's team was protected by local media. Lebrun, Engles, Lavoie all kissed ass and over showered the team with praises they didn't deserve. They became a propoganda arm.
@dinodebino you're gonna love this one
