A Very Special Thank You to Bob Gainey

Thank you for firing Claude Julien, who OUGHT to be this year's Jack Adams winner as coach of the year.

Thank you for trading Mike Ribeiro for Janne Niinimaa. (One of them is playing in a conference final. The other is playing in Switzerland.)

Thank you for hiring your buddy Guy Carbonneau whose idea of coaching is wearing a different tie. And not even giving Michael Ryder a chance while sticking with Guillaume Latendresse, Mathieu Dandenault, and Mark Streit.

Thank you for trading the erstwhile starting goaltender, Cristobal Huet, for a second-round pick in a shallow draft, going with two inexperienced goalies for a playoff run.

Thank you for doing nothing else at this year's trade deadline to bolster the team (aside from trading a veteran goalie for a song).

Thank you for raising ticket prices at the Bell Centre.

Sincerely,
Montreal Canadiens Fans
