News Article: Habs Bring In Carbonneau, Damphousse, Brisebois & Nilan as Ambassadors

[Adam Michaels]

Hoping they could bring in Larry Robinson in, as well. Larry has said he'd love to. And at the same time, have these guys mingle with the current roster to offer advice and some pointers.

Bravo! All good choices.

 

[Habs]

Chris Nilan is an embarrassment to this franchise when he opens his mouth, the rest are solid choices.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Chris Nilan?

That's a terrible decision, guys a f***ing idiot. He should be an ambassador for the Senators where he spends all day at the Freedumb Convoy.

 

[Deebs]

Absolutely love this. Great work by the organization

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Nilan really?

 

[Schooner Guy]

I don't think the residents of Ottawa would agree.

 

[PavelBrendl]

Breezer!

He was so much fun to rag on back in the day but we all know that in our heart of hearts, we always loved him.

Not a bad way to “shut him up” I guess loll

 

[417]

the premise that the Habs are detached from their past, is absolutely ridiculous.

Not sure if this is just in response to those complaints, but I hope they just hold ceremonious roles

 

[Ezpz]

Is this Brisebois' tenth stint with the Habs?

Nilan took a crap ton of punches in the face for us. He deserves respect for his courage and self-sacrifice.

 

[Et le But]

I hope these are solely ceremonial roles

 

[Mudz]

Nilan is probably a situation where they are just finding a way to give him a job. So we don't end up with a "could have the Org done more for the ex player".

Well I enjoyed him occasionally on 690.

He did it for a pay check. Let’s not exaggerate here.

I am sure there are toilets to be cleaned......just don't hire a brainless hot head who openly supports far right racist dog whistlers as a freaking ambassador for the Montreal Canadiens.

 

[dinodebino]

Guy was on welfare prolly. And he’s got allies within the Alumni, namely number 21. And Bob.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

I’m sure Nilan will be pounding the table for Slaf

 

[Treb]

Let's keep it clean, people.

 

[Habs]

What was plan B? Heart Surgeon? LOL at the self-sacrifice and courage remarks, is he in the same class as a war hero now?

Well I enjoyed him occasionally on 690.

I couldn't handle him on 690 and his rants that would start with 'Listen' , but I get it if people like the man he is now.. all good. I loved Nilan as a player, Kordic... all the scrappers from my favorite era of hockey

Fighting requires physical courage and self-sacrifice. End of story.

So does being a parent, am I also a hero?

Last I checked he’s being employed by a private business and not a government agency….

 

[BenchBrawl]

To your kids and family, I hope so for you.

Nilan fought for the team, so he deserves respect for that.
