"Habs Breakfast: PK Subban to blame?"
Yeah. Best player on the team to blame.
He and Gallagher the last two showing a lion heart - for the team. The guy who nightly fights his talent, suppresses his natural gift for "the system."
To blame.
I recognize sports "journalism" is not the gathering place of tall foreheads or even those with a modicum of honour but this is yet another low from TSN690.
Sports version of Radio Rwanda.

So it's Therrien
After the initial shock and disappointment it wasn't Crawford or Robinson or Carbonneau it's sinking in that Michel Therrien is Canadiens coach for at least the next 3 years.
Marc Bergevin and Serge Savard got their wish. Another Francophone coach. But as Enrico Ciccone Tweeted 'Montreal is a world class organisation, why limit yourself to local candidates?'
Why indeed. Quebec is stuck in the 1970's. Bill 101, Thomas Mulcair's support of radical separatists, Geoff Molson's kow-towing to the French press and separatists. The loss of 800,000 Anglos. The ongoing union-financed student violence.
But it's not all bad. Therrien is a decent guy and a good coach. He did an okay job here and in Pittsburgh and he'll be better this time. Anybody's better than Gainey, Gauthier and Martin. The young talent in the pipeline is exciting. Let's see a return to French Canadian firewagon hockey.
Michel we love you win or tie. Go Habs Go.

Groundhog Day in Montreal
Guy Carbonneau played the best goalie and ended the pathetic charade of playing an unworthy golden boy.
Sports, even in Montreal, is not about politics or theatre or patronage. It's about winning.
Golden Boy was given the keys to the city and has never delivered.
He has maybe a year to justify five years plus of hype and zero results (hello 2010 Halak Miracle) then Bergevin, Mellanby et al will tire of the Groundhog Day stuff. You're on notice, Golden Boy.
