Habs Hits

>GG announces the sale is all but final to the Molson's. He reflects on his time as the owner of the greatest franchise in pro sports and sheds some tears. Even apologizes to the fans for not bringing a cup to Montreal. Class act all the way, you will be missed GG.
>In addition to Scott Gomez, PK Subban has also been taking French lessons. Considering he is a quote machine, it's only fair he provides them in both languages.

>Rumor has it that Robert Lang has been invited to the Habs training camp. His agent says he is negotiating with 6 teams right now so he might not even make it to camp, but a good decision by BG nonetheless, if it's true. He was certainly one of the Habs top players last year and I for one would welcome him back, even at age 39. The only question mark is his recovery from the injury last season.

>Dandy has recieved and invite to the Sharks camp. I'm still not sure why someone hasn't picked this guy up. I would think the market for a excellent skater like him who can play both forward and defence would be a little better. Guess not. Franky B. still has yet to find a home.

>Single game tickets go on sale Saturday September 12. Those looking to get some will be praying the "site crashing" fiasco from last year doesn't happen again. I remember blowing most of a Saturday trying to get tickets, only to find out the system was junk and the date to buy tickets was moved to the following Wednesday. This in turn caused me to waste a day at work sitting mostly in the "waiting room" before I finally secured my seats. Thanks to scalpers, it has to be this way, which sucks for anyone trying to buy tickets for two games. Guess that's what ebay, stub hub, etc. are for.

>Kovy wants to retire a Hab, as per TSN. Good to hear, spare me the "well he should have signed here then" crap. It's nice to see players actually enjoying their time with the Habs. And if his heart is still in Montreal, maybe he will give the Habs a break when the Sens come to town....lol. Who knows maybe he will retire a Hab.

>The much publicized Team Canada summer camp has come to an end with a good old fashioned no contact scrimmage and the "why isn't Cammalleri there" debate has picked up steam among Habs fans. For a team that struggled to score goals at the last Olympics, you'd think a 39 goal scorer would be a welcome addition. In fact, the only Canadian players who scored more goals than Cammi last year were Carter, Nash, and Staal with Heatley scoring 39 as well (all of which are at the camp). Considering both Carter and Staal are centres (although they could be moved to the wing) that would make him the second highest scoring winger with Heatley. Oh well, just gives Cammi some more incentive to prove the Team Canada brass wrong I assume.

>BGL takes a shot at the media saying they invented a bunch of crap last year. Good to hear him coming out and saying this. Not a better guy on the team to do so in my opinion. Let him worry about keeping the media circus in check (and pounding on opponents) and let the rest of the team worry about playing. No sense in having everyone involved.

>The Habs will not play a game at the Big 'O' as was previously thought. The NHL requires 7 days to get the facility set up for an outdoor game and the Als will probably play (because they are running away with the East right now) in the East final within that 7 days. If only the Argo's played in Montreal instead....
