Montreal Canadiens interim head coach Randy Cunneyworth is at the center of controvery surrounding the plunge the Habs have taken, with the Canadiens' losing streak now reaching five games. Many in Habs Nation point the finger at Cunneyworth for his inability to speak French as the root of the problem, but Jack Edwards does not agree. French or English, it doesn't matter. The numbers don't add up, and with the recent acquisition of an expensive Tomas Kaberle adding to the already pricey Scott Gomez and Andrei Markov, both of whom are injured, the trio accounts for 27 percent of the...

December 23, 2011
The current general manager of the Montreal Canadiens has every right to be concerned. The recent coaching change has yet to work out well (on or off the ice) and trades and signings in the past few months have been slammed inside and out. Altogether, fans are ticked off and/or depressed. As it stands, Pierre Gauthier is likely the next to go. And that may happen sooner rather than...

Build your own team of former Montreal Canadiens players
Now that we've reached the yearly Christmas break hiatus, it's an appropriate time to look at the Montreal Canadiens situation and wonder why things have turned out so badly for a team that was supposed to battle for a least a playoff spot in 2011-12. Following their worst performance of the season yesterday night in Winnipeg, a 4-0 loss, the Canadiens are now mired in a...
Montreal Canadiens: My Christmas Wish List
I would like to think that I am a very rational man.
My emotions very rarely get the better of me, unless I am crying during Extreme Makeover Home Edition. I am the type of person who takes in information, processes it through reason and then responds.
Sure I am an odd ball when it comes to my thought process, but for the most part I am the type of person who reacts only after...

from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, As bad as all of this is, the Canadiens are just four points out of the playoffs. This season is not lost, unless the organization believes it’s time to start over. But the patient is not going to survive unless someone steps up with a defibrillator.
That person is not Pierre Gauthier. It’s not Cunneyworth. And it’s not Brian Gionta...

Canadiens/Blackhawks Post-Game, Language, Sweden Cheating and More
Good morning Habs fans! Do you have Chelsea Dagger in your heads this morning?
I don't.
But, then again, I stopped watching after the third Hawks goal.
Unprofessional for someone who writes about the Habs on a daily basis? A little bit, for sure.
Even writers get tired of losing and lackluster performances.
At least there is still reason to hope for the future...

The tabloid newspaper printed the word “INACCEPTABLE” across an image of Cunneyworth at the bench. However, it was the subtitle in English, “Another loss for Cunneyworth …” that stirred the pot across Canada...

from Mike Boone of Hockey Inside/Out, Write this down and take it to the bank:
P.K. Subban and Lars Eller will be in uniform on Opening Night of the Canadiens’ 2012-13 season.
Randy Cunneyworth won’t be behind the bench.
Add one more fearless prediction: Pierre Gauthier won’t be the team’s general manager.
Christmas has come early for Jacques Martin. Fired...

Protest planned against Canadiens coach, ‘Anglicization policy’
From the moment he was promoted, Montreal Canadiens interim coach Randy Cunneyworth has been assailed by some French-speaking fans and media for being an "unilingual Anglophone" in a job that they feel required a bilingual coach.
The primary language being French; the other language, we imagine, being optional.
The ante will be raised by the opposition to Cunneyworth'...

1) Michael Cammalleri has 3 goals in his last 24 games. Good for him for setting up a couple in the couple of games leading up to last night.
It's beyond comprehension as to how he could have such a poor effort in Chicago. Forget the fact that he and his linemates combined for a -9 rating last night; staring at the ref for a too many men call that wasn't coming while the...

Winnipeg Massacre?

Ok, that may be overstating it, but it’s 3-0 after two. PK Subban is a healthy scratch. Mike Cammalleri is taking shifts with the fourth line. Randy Cunneyworth looks lost, coaching a team that has given up 16 goals over 11 periods.
Magic solution Tomas Kaberle is, er, not a magic solution.
When was the last time the Canadiens were in this much of a state of flux? How did...
