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 things turn so quickly? At least Michael Blunden and Carey Price look like they care. They’re effort is obvious. The rest - not so much.
Somewhere, Jacques Martin must be chuckling.

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 Montreal Canadiens recent promotion of assistant coach Randy Cunneyworth into the role of interim replacement for fired head coach Jacques Martin has unleashed considerable criticism from Quebec-based fans, pundits and politicians.
It’s not Cunneyworth’s ability as a head coach, or lack of experience coaching at the NHL level which is the cause of their concern,...

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...

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...

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...

On Wednesday, Adam French and myself brought forth one of the more polarizing topics in hockey right now - the status quo of the Montreal Canadiens. One of hockey's proudest franchises continues to toil in mediocrity, much to the chagrin of the fan base in Montreal.
