For Bob Gainey, this is probably the biggest day of his professional life. I know he had a lot of big games as a player, he coached in a Cup final with the North Stars and he won a Stanley Cup as GM with the (South) Stars, and on and on and on. But I would venture that his reputation as a hockey ...
GOOD-BYE CAPTAIN K
abehefter.wordpress.com 6/30/2009 — It’s over.
Saku Koivu’s career as a member of the Montreal Canadiens effectively came to an end yesterday, when General Manager Bob Gainey announced that Koivu was not among the team’s potential unrestricted free agents to receive a contract offer from the Habs. That honor ...
Sather evens things up
dailyhab-it.blogspot.com 6/30/2009 — I guess this is payback for Jozef Balej. When Bob Gainey hoodwinked Glen Sather into taking Balej in exchange for impending free agent Alex Kovalev back in 2004, Montreal was abuzz with the thought of a marquee name finally landing in the city. Now, just over four years later, those two men have ...
GAINEY WORKS PLAN TO PERFECTION
abehefter.wordpress.com 7/2/2009 — It was a brilliant strategy on the part of Canadiens’ General Manager Bob Gainey. Whether or not it pays off on the ice, however, remains to be seen.
After striking out time and time again in his efforts to lure big-name, free-agent talent to Montreal, Gainey went out and locked up ...
Haven't we seen this before?
dailyhab-it.blogspot.com 6/26/2009 — Habs GM Bob Gainey came right out and said it Thursday afternoon: he's looking for a big centre and he hopes to find it via the trade market at the NHL draft. The last time we heard Gainey speak so assertively and candidly on anything he planned on doing was when he was chasing after Marian ...
A man with a plan
dailyhab-it.blogspot.com 7/2/2009 — Say what you will about that plan, no one can argue that Bob Gainey was not focused on the opening day of free agency. Gainey obviously had a vision of the type of team he wanted, and he went out and got it. Yes, the Canadiens needed to add size, and Gainey failed in that regard. Yes, the ...
Good night: Unless you’re a Habs fan

The Lead
Remember back after the Habs got demolished in the playoffs and some reporter told Bob Gainey all about how even his wife was questioning Gainey’s use of Carey Price in the playoffs?
Well now I gotta wonder if the Habs can get her signed up to be GM, because Jesus ...

Did the Montreal Canadiens need to be overhauled?
lionsinwinter.ca 7/5/2009 — It's been swept under the rug a bit, but I still think it's a very pertinent question
To headline writers, Bob Gainey has blown up a team that crashed and burned in 2009.
To anyone with a developed memory and a modicum of sense, Bob Gainey also blew ...
Komisarek's no traitor
dailyhab-it.blogspot.com 7/3/2009 — I guess I understand why Habs fans are all over Mike Komisaerk for signing with the hated Toronto Maple Leafs, especially when the disparity between the two offers was so slim. It's very easy to call him a traitor, with the way the team cultivated him, the way Bob Gainey fired a pretty darn good ...

Gomez To The Canadiens —
Bleacher Report - NHL 7/1/2009
Everyone in the hockey world is aware of this by now, but Rangers GM Glen Sather may have pulled off the fleece of the year.
Not only did he get someone to take Scott Gomez and his $7.5 million cap hit, but he actually got something in return.

Report: Kovalev back with Canadiens —
NHL.com News in English 7/1/2009
Despite a disappointing season, the Montreal Canadiens reportedly have re-signed top-line forward Alexei Kovalev to a two-year contract. Sportsnet.ca is reporting the value of the deal to be $9 million.
Kovalev led the Canadiens in sco...
