He can still produce as we have seen him do it in Phoenix and if you can somehow get him to act like an adult, and about the team maybe just maybe he will change his ways, as he most likely believes this is his last chance to be a regular NHL'er.
Cheap, quick contract, if he is still a pain in the you know what, it is not a huge loss, he is only paid $405,000 more than Caron

You always hope people can turn it around, but I'm reasonably certain the B's would never touch a guy like this.
The tight knit, "playing for my teammates" mentality that's been established under the Chia (and Neely, and Sweeney, and...) is a special thing not to be taken lightly. We're lucky to have it.

I wasn't happy Kenny Linseman and Chris Nilan played for the Bruins. Absolutely, do not want this bleepin clown anywhere near the team.

That was a disgrace.
An embarrassment to the game. One of his own teammates should have dope slapped him.

Courage
Mike Ribeiro embodies the perfect Montreal Canadien. A overrated, whining, crying, arrogant, diving pansy. He should have remained a Hab forever and had his number retired as a symbol of what a sorry organization looks like. I'm sure if they showed that video at the Belle Centre, 20,000 would be on their feet applauding the wonderful hockey moment.
I feel bad that a team I like and a coach I like is going to be infected by this clown.

I agree with this, but in a latter day kind of way. Yes, MTL fans & media have always been certifiable, much of which has to do with a contentious relationship toward English speaking Canada. MTL fans & media may have viewed themselves as superior, but always with a chip on their shoulder (this last is familiar, no?) Exhibit A: The Rocket.
What we've seen in MTL the past 20 plus years is a grotesque inversion of the greatest franchise in NHL history.
I saw all of those unbelievable MTL teams in the 70's -- often up close, as we had season's ticket's at the old Olympia -- and know the prior history well. Every other club in the league hated them for the same reason: they were in a class by themselves.
They're on the upswing, and I suspect they're going to leave behind some of the stuff we've seen.
It's interesting how often teams embody the towns, and the fan base, they play for. Look at us; look at MTL. We all know what it means to be a Flyers fan, and celebrity culture of NYR. We see TO, and take pity. (Pity? The Toronto Maple Leafs Present Day = The Boston Red Sox, pre-2004, media & fan base. The most perfect analogy I'll ever conjure.
)But I digress,
I honestly believe one of the things the Habs practice s diving . It has to be, so many of them have been doing it through the years it has to be part of the game plan.

I don't know - the whining, diving culture is pretty ingrained in Montreal these days. Unless a forceful coach puts his foot down and demands an end to it, it's not going to change. And Therrien isn't that guy.
I know what you mean about the old Canadiens - I always picture guys like Beliveau or Harvey or Savard cringing at the antics today's Canadiens stage on a routine basis. But who's saying "enough!"? To paraphrase a certain coach, Rocket Richard's not walking through that door.

Toronto is more like the Cubs. Many awful seasons. No finals appearances since 1967. The Red Sox had many good teams and great players in their drought. 4 heartbreaking Gm 7 world Series losses. 46, 67, 75 and 86 of course. Leafs never got anywhere near a championship.

I will always hated that play when he was with MTL. That said, i may be one of the few who liked him a bit more (disliked him less?) once he left MTL. Not that I saw a lot, but I liked some of what I saw of him in Dallas....
I would hope he's learned some humility over the years, especially after being bought out while still in/near his prime.
But I ultimately agree, wouldn't want him on the Bruins.
And re: MTL moving away from diving? Well, not so sure of that, they seemed to do quite a bit of it in the last playoffs, under the new coach and GM.....may or may not happen, but I think it'll take a long time if it does happen.

This is ALWAYS what I will think of when it comes to Riberio...Him rolling arouind on the ice like the slime that he is.
It was pathetic.
I had forgotten that.
I am not even sure this was the game but Nick did that more than once.

Never... NO! He is right up there with Kovalev as players I never want(ed) to see wear the black and gold.
