| Strangely quiet in here lately. Where are all of the Hab fans? Or
should I say "where is THE hab fan"? Do they have any left? Will Hab
fans become like Leaf fans and rent a closet?
Last year the Habs lost four in a row and fired their coach. They've
just lost 4 in a row, all by lopsided scores. Will they fire their
cheerleaer...I mean coach? What does the head cheerleader do now? What
about the comments in yesterday's Journal de Montreal where it was said
under the cover of anonymity by some players that they had lost faith in
both T-Bo and Jablonski? Should they get rid of their GM? What about
Thorton, Corson, Richer and Baron? Are they getting the job done? Who
did Houle give up for these guys?
Some many things to talk about yet it's so quiet in here!
Bernie.
|
561.308 | They're going down.....fast!!!! | KAOFS::WATTERS | | Wed Jan 29 1997 20:12 | 17 |
| Here's a funny story.
After being shellacked at home, 8-1, by the Blues the reporters all
rushed to the Habs locker room.
Quintal had this to say:
"We had all planned on going out for dinner together since this was a
day game. The dinner's been cancelled since being in public may not
be a good thing at this time. ...... All I want to do now is go home,
order out some food and hope that the delivery boy didn't watch the
game."
This team has enough talent to be 4th in their conference. Tremblay
just doesn't have it as an NHL coach to bring them there. Next up,
Houle will make a trade for the sake of making a trade; this shuts up
the reporters for 2 weeks at least.

responds. Deep down I knew that coming from Val D'Or he had to be a
Habs fan. He's even tried to pass himself off as Mario Tremblay for
God's sake (KDHLers will know what I'm talking about)!
Andy,
I remember you saying to me "He's always down but damn he's good!". No,
you were not talking about Ray and his tendencies, you were talking about
Patrick Roy!!!

WOW!!!! there. That's a low blow. I was purely adding more salt
to their wounds after you'd started it.
>> I remember you saying to me "He's always down but damn he's good!".
Yes; he's always down. NOOOOOO he's not good. He's not even in the
league's top 6. Guys like Ranford, Joseph and Hasek have spent most
of their careers w/ average to mediocre defensive defensemen. I can
only remember 2 years in which Roy had this (his last 2 in Mtl) and he
stuck the joint big time.
So Bernie, retract your comments RIGHT NOW! People may start talking,
you never know. :*)

don't remember for sure is where we were when you said that. I think it
was Colorado six or seven years ago.
It was beer talk so we can forget about it.

| Hi,
This is like being in a funeral parlour with Bernie and Andy whispering
and giggling at the back of the room.
You've read the book, seen the games now buy the video of
"FOUR STRAIGHT LOSSES AND A FUNERAL".
Now we have a bit of an idea what fans of teams that were mediocre for
years had to put up with. It's only a game, there has to be something
more worth while to get worried about and I can think of many.
Ted.

561.314 | My prediction | POLAR::RICHARDSON | Patented Problem Generator | Fri Jan 31 1997 01:30 | 2 |
| If they lose tonight, and seeing the game is being played in Florida
it's very likely they will, Tremblay will get fired.
|
561.315 | Not just yet.....and he won't be the only 1 to go | KAOFS::WATTERS | | Fri Jan 31 1997 01:56 | 11 |
| I don't think so, why:
Cause they never have won a game in TBay.
Cause if Tremblay gets fired, so will Houle and Corey.
Apparently, Molson's Brewery (owners) are sick and tired of the
off-ice circus over the last year.
After NOT making the playoffs this year, I expect Molson's to fire the
3-some and hire Serge Savard as Prez. We're starting to see Savard more
and more in the media lately. ;*)

Well I guess it's time to face the music. I'm assuming Ray is using the
old "if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all"
approach. :^) Not a bad idea but hear goes....
I'm really having a hard time trying to figure out why this team doesn't
win more games. In a previous note Andy mentioned that Montreal has good
enough players to be 4th in the conference and I agree. So what's going
on? Defense definitely needs to be improved but...
I think it's more the coaching. I think they should leave things as they
are for the rest of the season. Not making the playoffs will simply
reinforce the need for WHOLESALE changes. Everyone from Corey, Houle,
Tremblay, and the scouting staff need to go. I wish I could follow this
up with some real options but the only thing I can recommend is Ferguson
for the head scouting position and Savard as president wouldn't be bad
choice. GM and coaches are anyones guess.
Anybody out there have input? I guess we'll be hearing from Bernie with
a big I told you so. It's probably well deserved. To be honest I'd rather
watch the Sens this saturday than my Habs. It hurts to much to watch them.

3 players on the AHL team were suspended, the Frederiction Habs were
forced to have their coach, Paulin Bordeleau play !!! Bordeleau (father
of Hab Sebastien Bordeleau) played breefly for the Vancouver Canucks in
the '70s, before playing for several years for France' Olympic team.

Last week, the Penguins didn't play Lemieux against Montreal (Andy said
it was because they knew they didn't need him).
Now, the Dominator has gone back to the Czech Republic due to an
illness in his family. He will miss the game against the Habs this
week but will be back for the Sabres next game. Why didn't he miss the
game against the Sens on Sunday instead?
When will it end? This is on top of all the past incidents such as -
the league instructs the refs to favour the Habs; the league sets up the
schedule to favour the Habs; the league does not strip the Habs of some
Stanley Cup victories when they were found to have cheated (slanted

To the best of my knowledge, it has never happened. Since the first
expansion, the Bruins have missed only Bobby Orr's rookie year. Before
that, at least since the reduction of the league to six teams, four of
the six made the playoffs. While the Bruins of those years missed the
playoffs a number of times, the Habs hardly ever did.
The same question might be applied to any combination of two of the
"surviving six" teams, except the Bruins and Rangers, who were pretty
much league doormats in the fifties and sixties.

ice, when Richer tied the game up. Valerie Bure also scored for the
Habs.
With about 10 min left in the game, and up 2-0, the Pens had a goal
called back...because of the famous "in the crease" rule again. Turned
out to be a turning point in the game...

| The addition of Manson doesn't make the Habs instant Stanley Cup
contenders, but I think Houle made a good trade. Manson and Baron are
the same age (and both are - 20 this year...), so there's no real
advantage there. Chris Murray, who was also involved in the deal was
immediately traded to the Whalers for Gerald Diduck.

always been a good steady defenseman and in my opinion might even be

Last year, the Jets were on many times as the 2nd game of the
HNIC double-header; Manson even rode the pine a few times due to his
inconsistency. Back w/ the Hawks he was a nut case AND a good hockey
player when he found the time to play. Savard tried to get him many
times but couldn't afford him. Now, 3 years later, a WEAK Habs team
can afford him. Thing about this Ray! :*))))

You are right on with Manson. I always liked him, but he was in the box
too much of the time and he never really exploited his potential. He is
a good defenseman, and what many don't know about him is that he has one
wicked slap shot. But he never takes it enough. If somone can sit him
down and say "on the power play, when we give you the puck, wind up and
hit the puck, not our opponents".

Well I did see the Habs, and Manson played an all around solid game. He was
physical, he logged a lot of icetime, (Quintal was thrown out early for being
the 3rd man in a fight.) and he did did take a nice shot on net that resulted
in a goal when Brunet picked up the rebound. All this after a long day for
Manson that started at 05:00 am when he jumped on a flight for NY.

Brodeur is NOT the only goalie to have scored in the playoffs. Hextall
scored against the Caps on '89 (Arp11th); that must be the playoffs.
End of game fights; Rivet got speared by Gilmour so he tried to jump
him. The Devils took exception to that.
Habs got a goal called back when Richer was called for 'in the crease'.
Most Hab fans will say he was pushed in by Gilmour. If that game

his reaction when the Habs coughed up the puck, & his head
swivelling to follow the play back down to the goal at the Habs' end.

Big press conference this aft given by Rejean Houle. They do this

a good marketing move.
The press conference will then be talk about for the next 2 weeks. At
that point, the Habs will fire Tremblay; another 3 weeks of media

I'm really hoping that all 3 get the boot. With the right people running
the show this team, (with some tweaking) could be a real contender.
Mario Tremblay - He's shown he isn't a motivator and the guys just don't
play for him.
Rejean Houle - The Odelein/Richer, Kovalenko/Thornton, and Turgeon/Corson-
Baron trades have proven he can't make the right trades.
Ronald Corey - He's responsible for the 1st 2 guys being there so he should
go. Besides, I'm sick and tired of seeing his face behind the
bench during every game. :^)
Corey's replacement should be Savard. I'm not sure about the GM position but

Pat Burns was offered the job of asst-coach in MTL around X-mas
this year, but turned it down. Bertrand Raymond (who else, right Andy)
came out w/ this scoop in this morning's paper.
What ticks me the most about this year's Habs is particularly the
way they lossed, not only in the playoffs, but all winter long. Back in
the 'ol days', I was used to see at least half the players on the Habs
being to sore to even carry the Cup over their heads at the end of
another winning season (Bob Gainey played an entire series w/ two
seperated shoulders...), and when they did get eliminated from SC
competition, the Zamboni machine would have as much blood in it as snow
from the players efforts before shaking hands w/ their opponents...My

I'm not surprised that Burns passed on the the asst. coach job. Tremblay
should be HIS assistant. But this doesn't mean he'd say no to being the
head coach. With regards to lack of effort, I was glad to hear Recchi
complaining about guys not showing up. Unfortunately, I'm now hearing
trade rumours involving him. I guess his grit, determination, hustle, and
effort are making the others look bad!

Well, Dave, call the wife; Mario has 'quit'. We'll know more in a 1
day or 2 but by 'quitting' Mario has saved Houle AND Corey's ass.
The reason he quit is simple; the Habs UPPER management of Bertrand
Raymond(Journal de Mtl), Rejean Tremblay (La Presse) and Red Fisher
(The Gazette) got together and went for the jugular. All 3 have been
even on TV (they're newspaper reporters for god sakes) cutting down
Tremblay and others. They got Burns out of Mtl, later got Demers fired,
and now it's Mario's turn.
Houle MAY have saved his ass for next year but if he keeps making bad
trades (Roy, Turgeon, etc.) he'll be gone too. Anyways, it's just a
matter of time before Molson hires Savard back....as President.

| I would think that they would have a hard time
filling the position.
I mean, who would want that job... really.
Molson should go in and clean house... I have to agree.

| Ottawa Citizen reprinted a column from today's Gazette (Jack Todd, not
Red Fisher) saying Corey, Houle, & Tremblay are all amateurs & Molson
should put a 1st class professional in charge of the Habs. He says
Savard's business interests made the GM-ship a part-time job for him, &
for that reason he shouldn't be re-hired. He suggested Lemaire, or
maybe Bowman.

561.466 | It would be a tuff job! | FSCORE::PAVEZKA | Hull Bound | Thu May 01 1997 01:17 | 9 |
| Errrr, I'd volunteer to clean out Molson's house! However, I'd likely
need help cleaning out the Ex (I do know someone who is a potential
candidate).

| A few names will definitely be mentionned in the coming weeks
(Robinson, Gainey, maybe even Ted Nolan) but the one that may stick
will be Ray's bud; Alain Vigneault.
He's a young Pat Burns. Tough and fair w/ players, has been coaching
for lots of years (replaced Burns in Hull when Burns left for Habs AHL
team), asst. coach for Sens, asst. coach for Team Canada Jr (gold),
was successful in all 3 QMJHL he's coached w/ the players he had.
He's a french canadian; the reporters will demand that.
Finally, he's played minor hockey w/ Ray. ;*)

or Gainey or Bowman) for Corey's job, not Tremblay's...

561.470 | Live on Radio! WoW! | KAOFS::WATTERS | | Thu May 01 1997 23:11 | 34 |
| After the press conference, Mario went to a radio station to be on
a talk show that he use to work on for 8 years (before becoming the
Habs coach). Rejean Tremblay has a 10 minute spot on that show and
called in a 5:20pm to talk about the day's event; he knew Tremblay was
on the air. They let both Tremblay's go at it.....for 20minutes.
Mario blasted him w/ examples of how Rejean T and Bertrand Raymond
(Ray' fav) went out of their to 'teach me a lesson'.
Here's one of the best examples given:
To talk to Mario, a reporter must go thru the Habs PR guy (Donald
Beauchamp). Every reporter does it except 3: Rejean, Bertrand and Jack
Todd. Mario decided to treat ALL reporters the same. One day, Rejean
Tremblay showed up and Mario told him he was in a meeting w/
Laperriere and he should see Beauchamp for a time slot. Rejean said:
"Tabernac, this isn't gonna end here. You better read the paper
tomorrow." Rejean then walked over to his colleagues and said:
"Tabernac, he's gonna pay for this in tomorrow's paper". The next day,
Rejean Tremblay said that Mario was a PeeWee coach and ran practices
that had no flow or sense....and on and on....
Mario said that that hurt him cause he knew this time that a reporter
went too far.
Rejean had this to say for his defense: "I didn't swear!"
What Mario did was what Burns/Perron/Lemaire/Demers didn't do.
He showed up to a press conference to announce his 'firing/departure'
and unlike the previous coaches he nailed the media for their lack
of professionalism in Mtl. Bravo Mario!
There's more (20minutes of it) but I'm cramping up now. :*)

| poor mario. He really didn't deserve it. Many coaches do so much worse
and never get crap.

561.472 | the real guily man: Ronald Corey... | POLAR::MAJOR | | Fri May 02 1997 19:27 | 28 |
| Well Andy, you fell right into Mario's trap.
By diverting the attention to the 'bad rap' he got from the press
during his coaching days, Tremblay deflected what the real root cause
of his resignation is.
I really like Mario Tremblay, the man. However, as a head coach,
Tremblay was way over his head. When he was hired, every fan scratched
their heads, and the reporters just wrote what people thought, plain
and simple.
I can't remember a season where there were so many disgrunted
players on the Habs (Savaga, Wilkie, Brunet, Thibault, etc). Also, I
can't remember the Habs playing so disorganized as this year.
Richer, Corson, Thornton, Baron and Manson are all players Tremblay
insisted GM Houle go get in trades. None of these players panned out in
the playoffs. Also, after the last game in NJ, when asked to confirm
Tremblay's return next year, Houls said he would need some time to
evaluate the situation...This was the REAL reason Tremblay decided to
"help" his buddy and resign.
BTW, I will never defend Rejean Tremblay because I don't read his
articles, but I will defend Bertrand Raymond. He never attacked Mario
personnally.
Ray.

561.473 | Burns said he's ready to listen... | POLAR::MAJOR | | Fri May 02 1997 19:36 | 6 |
| BTW, I doubt Alain Vigneault will be seriously considered for the job.
After what they went through w/ Tremblay, the Habs must get a man with
NHL coaching experience. I'd see Pat Burns w/ Alain as assistant-coach.
Ray.

561.474 | | FSCORE::PAVEZKA | Hull Bound | Fri May 02 1997 19:43 | 9 |
| What about Jim Monteith as head coach of the Habs?
He has been able to handle the Montreal media pretty well whenever he's
had to deal with them. Plus, his teams have been successful in
Montreal the past few years. Of course, the Habs may have a hard time
trying to pry him away from his current team...it would likely lead to
some messy negotiations.

Pete,
Why in the world would Jim leave right in the middle of a dynasty run?
Not to mention the fact that he would no longer have immediate access
to the penalty box to chew out his players. :^))))

| NO Ray, I didn't fall in any trap. I know exactly what Mario was trying
to do. He was very successful at it. EVERYBODY (I guess) agreed he
didn't have it as an NHL coach but what Mario did 1/2 thru his press
conference is chew the 'media gods' of Mtl. They seem to think they
can criticize in a very meaningful way, anybody they want. The tables
were turned on that day cause that's the only time that Mario would've
gotten the chance to do it; NOW was the time for him. It felt great.
For years, EVERYBODY's been saying how the Mtl media was mean and
nasty. Tremblay made them pay for it. The 'media gods' plain and simply
were going tooooo far in the Mario saga. I don't read Bertrand Raymond
like you do but some people that do find him to be the most 'negative'
hockey writer around. The dif'rnce between Rejean Tremblay and Bertrand
Raymond is that one doesn't mince words (ie. PeeWee coach comment)
while the other is very tactful; SAME DIF'RNCE!!!

| When Mario was named head coach 2 years ago, only one reporter drove
from MTL to the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean area to do interviews with friends
and family; Bertrand Raymond. He came back w/ pages of positive
feedback from Mario's 'native land', and put it in the paper.
As far as I can remember, BR never went behond his responsibilities as
a sports reporter. It never was 'personal' between him and Mario. The
only thing I heard him say the other day after the press conference was
that most reporters found Tremblay had become very arrogant since being
coach, and for someone who had absolutely no experience at all, they
found that to be somwhat annoying...BTW, a lot of players also had a
problem w/ Mario's arrogance...
Ray.

561.478 | BR who? | KAOFS::B_CROOK | Brian @KAO | Fri May 02 1997 23:18 | 5 |
| re:-1 "BR never went behond his responsibilities as

not to be confused with our own Ben Robillard who would never berate
the Habs regardless of responsibilities etc.
|
561.479 | Any other BRs? | KUTIPS::ROBILLARD | | Mon May 05 1997 22:36 | 6 |

And not too be confused with Barney Rubble who never had anything negative
to say about anyone!

| Well, it looks like once again, ma man Bertrand Raymond was the 1st guy
to do his homework, as he announced on Saturday Alain Vigneault has
signed a contract to become the next Habs coach. Nobody on the Habs has
come out and made it official yet, but the entire NHL community are
treating the news as reality, because the exclusive report came
from...Raymond!!
Over the year, I've " earned " a reputation in here of being a dye hard
Hab fan, with all the "qualities" that come with that. Now, if it's
true that my friend Alain is now the coach of the Habs, some of you
lads won't be able to stand me in here anymore!!!
Ray.
|
561.481 | Good luck Alain!! | POLAR::MAJOR | | Tue May 27 1997 00:31 | 7 |
| It's now official. Bertrand Raymond (Journal De Montreal reporter)
called a news conference today to officially announce HIS choice as new
Habs coach, Alain Vigneault. Raymond let GM Peanut Houle make the
announcement, along w/ the news that Dave King was named asst-coach.
Ray.
|
561.482 | You can see Houle was in Marketing before eh! :*) | KAOFS::WATTERS | | Tue May 27 1997 00:45 | 10 |
| Dave King??????
Bertrand Raymond and Rejean Tremblay are gonna skin him alive.
King is known to be an anti-francophone (the Lemieux incident is
famous). Bert and Rejean are pro-francophone. I guess Houle hired
King so that Bert and Rej could feast on King for now and leave
him, Houle, alone for a while. :*)))

| There was an article in the Calgary papers last week saying that the

francophone, so they offerred King an asssitants job...
|
561.484 | good luck Alain | FSCORE::B_LEURY | | Tue May 27 1997 19:58 | 13 |
| Ray,
Did you hear your man Bertrand Raymond's comments yesterday? Your
friend Alain might be in for a rough ride. Raymond said "Apparently
Vigneault treated the press as second class citizens in Hull, he better
have changed!"
I think that Vigneault is an excellent choice. I've always been
impressed with him. He's bright, articulate, a carreer coach with 9
years of professional coaching experience.
Bernie.

561.485 | | CTHU26::S_BURRIDGE | | Tue May 27 1997 20:11 | 10 |
| Red Fisher in today's Gazette is somewhat negative -- he says the Habs
needed a coach with NHL experience, & basically dismisses Vigneault's
experience with the Sens, because the Sens were so bad.
It's an interesting choice, not a particularly safe one, although the
hiring of Dave King as assistant does put an experienced man in the
picture. Vigneault is perfectly bilingual, King not at all; so
presumably he's not a threat to step into the big job.

| I was very impressed w/ Dave King at the press conference. He actually
spoke (pretty good) french for the first 30 secondes!!!
I know he's been accused of being 'anti-francophone' and all, but I
don't buy that. Yes, he had a run-in w/ Mario 13 years ago, but to say
he's against the "frogs" because of that, there's a big difference...
Bernie, dont; worry about BR. I'll have a little chat w/ him...:*))
