Process
August 2, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Bob Gainey, Bob Gainey, Bob Gainey. Bob Gainey. Jacques Martin. Qui et quoi? Roland Melanson. Perry Pearn. Pierre Groulx. Roman Hamrlik. Andrei Kostitsyn. Two-thousand phone calls. I’m plummeting toward my keyboard. I’m iTune play-listing my way out of the gm dance card imperatives. I’m watching old science fiction and looking for reasons. Sergei Kostitsyn. Brian Gionta. Mike Cammalleri. How many free agents can a team take on? As many as it can. Hal Gill. Cactus. Georges Laraque, expendable? Meals. Expendable? Mental health checkup. Undiagnosed? D’Agostini, Pacioretty, Plekanec, Latendresse. Regressed or unfulfilled. What are the percentages? Who gets better and why? Who gets worse? Bob Gainey, Bob Gainey, Bob Gainey. Alex Kovalev. Saku Koivu. Your Superman and my Batman. Gone. Who runs the Justice League now? Green Lantern? If Green Lantern scores 43 goals, there will be rejoicing at the Anti-Chamber. Brian Gionta. Scott Gomez. Earth Two resolution? Two seventy-point guys leave. Are we getting 140 points with a reduction in age? If we are, much will be forgotten. Some of us will remember. Cristobal Huet, Mark Streit, Sheldon Souray, Radek Bonk. Most of you have moved on. Bob Gainey, Bob Gainey, Bob Gainey. How many times can the summer turn on a sandstorm song set to a Billy Joel phrasing and a Sunday goodbye? As many as it can. Bulldog staff fired. New head coach. New goalie coach. Travis Moen. Paul Mara. Six-two, 215 is not as big as six-one, 224. Height is not size. Francis Bouillon, Mathieu Dandenault, Patrice Brisebois. The cap is not the Cat. And Spacek is not the Grinch. Jaroslav and Carey. The trade rumours continue. It’s a thoroughbred discussion. A list on a whiteboard, a splash on film, an auditorium of international scouts. How many sports psychologists can a team hire? As many as it can. Glen Metropolit, Josh Gorges, Andrei Markov, Yannick Weber. The team will brighten stripes. Who will be Doug Harvey? How many captains can a team name? As many as it can. Jacques Plante, Doug Harvey, Rocket Richard. Adieu. Lorne Worseley, Charlie Hodge. Welcome. Rogatien Vachon. Adieu. Ken Dryden. Welcome. Guy Lafleur, Mats Naslund, Chris Chelios. Au revoir. Patrick Roy, Mike Keane, Guy Carbonneau. Salut! Welcome our fifteen-year summer. How many summers can a true believer take? As many as I can.
