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 ...
A History Of The Montreal Canadiens Ownership 1909 - 1935
habseyesontheprize.com 6/20/2009 —
As the Montreal Canadiens imminent sale to the Molson family nears, it is interesting to note the diversity of previous ownership groups of the hockey club, their differing success, and the perception of these figures in the public eye.
This is Part One of a series on the Canadiens ...
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 ...

Carry On My Wayward Habs - Cheering for Dearly Departed Former Canadiens
habseyesontheprize.com 7/10/2009 —
I have been a fan of the Canadiens since 1971, but began watching televised hockey around 1969.
I didn't know much about anything back then. The Beatles were bugs, Woodstock was a Peanuts' cartoon character, and I thought it was a funny thing when Mom caught ...
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 ...
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 ...
Trading Places? Guy Lafleur and Marcel Dionne
greatesthockeylegends.com 6/24/2009 — Check out this photo:It is Guy Lafleur, sometime between the years 1966 and 1969. He was playing for the Quebec Jr. Aces. They would change their name to the Remparts at the end of the decade. The older Lafleur would blossom into one of the greatest ...
Every Contract is Moveable
gospelofhockey.blogspot.com 6/30/2009 — Or at least that's the way it seems. In my last post I outlined which teams were in a good cap position heading into free agency. One of these teams was the Montreal Canadiens. One of the teams in a bit of a cap pickle was the New York Rangers. Today these two organizations made a trade: To ...
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 ...
Will Leblanc be The One?
dailyhab-it.blogspot.com 6/16/2009 — It's time for the predictable Habs draft assumption. This annual ritual closely follows the conclusion of the Stanley Cup final (one, by the way, that I correctly predicted on April 15. Just saying.). It involves a number of draft "experts" from around the hockey world taking for granted that ...
