Montreal Mystique interviews former Canadiens captain, head coach, three-time Stanley Cup champion and three-time Frank Selke trophy-winner, Guy Carbonneau.
And to those who insist the Canadiens are, in mid-October, done like Thanksgiving dinner; basted before their time, let’s get a better grip of the wishbone.
Just over five minutes left. Hunger. Ice-tracks. Roughness. Moen nails Foote. Crowd loves it. Now Laraque is trying a one-hand back-hand wraparound and is taken down. This one could have been called. Crowd sounds unruly. Booing is scattered but breakless now and the crowd is cheering three different chants. Chaos on the ice reflects the crowd’s anger and unease. Just adrenalin and effort from both teams. Goals come from these heartbeast moments.
A list on a whiteboard, a splash on film, an auditorium of international scouts. How many sports psychologists can a team hire?
Elliotte Friedman commentary.
The Canadiens have named 56 year-old Jacques Martin as successor to Guy Carbonneau. It's a good selection for a variety of reasons and there are no concerns to voice.
Islanders take another penalty. Blake Comeau. He hit Kostitsyn from behind. Could have been a payback hit but it looked chicken cheap. Strutting tough in the barnyard.
Old-school refs. Just making things even. Huet exaggerates the hit, too. Falls like a dehydrated, lunging elephant. Legit call, though.
However, if one is going to make the rash claims of "greatest ever" one must be prepared to talk about "ever"(
