Mighty Montreal Canadiens Immitate Mickey Mouse

*Face palm, face palm, face palm* and repeat.

Man, we didn't know it at the time, or some may have, but who would have thought Pierre Turgeon dropping the spine shivering torch at the opening (or was it the closing of the Forum? I forget) of the Bell Center would be symbolic of how hard the Montreal Canadiens have fallen.

The recent turmoil hitting the Habs has to be among the most serious I've seen in any sport; let alone a premier brand like the Habs.

This is one disjointed and incoherent mess.

The only ghosts visiting the team these days is the one Patrick Roy left behind. Since that day, it's been nothing but mediocrity with this team. Think of it, the two lasting impressions this team has left is the infamous Roy meltdown and sending Michael Cammalleri home after the second period because of a trade. Not standard protocol in hockey.

Since then, the organization seems to have become experts in trading from a position of weakness.



That year was the start of the Red Wings dynasty by the way.

***

The team is poorly run with little standards. Simple as that.

Once upon a time....once upon a time this was the greatest of all hockey organizations.

Now.

Detroit Lions north.

Well, up until this year.  The Lions are now legit contenders for the Super Bowl next year!

Ok. Not quite as bad as the Lions. The team has won exactly ONE playoff game since 1958. That, my friends, is bad.

Oakland Raiders?

Anyway.

It's ironic the team unloaded two players - Jaroslav Halak and Michael Cammalleri that have given the team and its fans some of its best moments in recent memory.

It's ok. The team still has its memories. Like Rome I suppose.





I can't find the full ceremony.
