Did he say anything out of line? The team has been terrible. Much worse since the coaching change. Any chance of the playoffs is fading fast. Montreal this year has become the hockey equivalent of People Magazine. The tiniest comment from anyone of significance is blown way out of proportion.
Lighten up, people. Cammalleri wants to win just as much as anybody else, if not more. You’ve seen what the guy does in the playoffs, in big games, and through injuries. There is a serious management problem here and it has yet to be addressed.
A sidenote: Yannick Weber made much more controversial comments today about being better than the guys on the ice in recent games - and it goes virtually unreported. That says one of two things: a) the French media has it out for Mike Cammalleri, or b) Yannick Weber is insignificant in the grand scheme that is the Montreal Canadiens. I think it’s a lot more a than b, but that’s debatable.
Now, Boston, let’s see what ya got.

BOSTON -- With its rabid fan base and media contingent, there's never a shortage of drama in the soap opera surrounding the Montreal Canadiens. The latest episode coincided with the Canadiens' arrival in Boston on Thursday, one day after Montreal forward Michael Cammalleri made waves with some inflammatory comments about his club bemoaning the "losing mentality"...
Cammalleri’s Season Goes up in Flames…
If you haven’t heard, the Canadians and Flames paired up for a trade. It was essentially Michael Cammalleri for Rene Bourque (there were draft picks & inconsequential players involved also). In the short term it looks like a win for Calgary. Camm-Camm should fit in nicely with the Flames, and as long as he’s healthy I think this trade will help him. Cammalleri...

Welcome to the TD Garden for tonight's game between the Boston Bruins and visiting Montreal Canadiens.
Montreal forward Mike Cammalleri held no punches back earlier when he essentially called the Canadiens a group of losers. Perhaps lost in the language of how to properly call out/motivate your club, the biggest loser of all may in fact be Cammalleri himself. Chiming in with...

FANTASY MINI TRADE IMPACTO:
So the 11 games last night did not make the biggest impact necessarily but a trade did. Michael Cammalleri was sent to the Calgary Flames along with Karri Ramo and a 5th round pick in 2012. Montreal's return was Rene Bourque, Patrick Holland, and a 2nd round pick in 2013. It seems both teams...
