You are right Kyle. The list was not intended to be completely realistic.

As far as dropping the 'Habs for sale' story, see my article on the subject. I agree completely.

I agree with you EP. I don’t expect Boivin to go. But a President is paid to smoothly guide the organization. I don’t think anyone can describe his comments about the next coach as smooth. He basically threw a hand grenade into a volatile situation.

Really good point Sarahabana. The Bell Centre fans seem to have a hair-trigger ready and waiting to be critical. I would prefer if they showed some patience and class in their support rather than being so fair weather.

"freaky facial hair scaring the hockey gods"

That line is a gem and is worth repeating! Thanks for the smile Sarah.

I'll leave out whether I think some things are realistic or not, but I like the list a lot.

I would also submit that the media needs to drop the "team for sale" story for now.

I’m personally hoping that #10 happens as well… Although for some reason I just don’t see Boivin going…..

Awesome list…I especially like #5…I went to the last game against the NJ devils and was embarrassed when the fans started booing the Habs…Not a great fan moment if you ask me, utterly classless!!

Luckily, I don't have to look at him as often as his wife, so I don't really have a preference. =P

But as first reaction, I think he looks pretty skeevy all bearded up.

I keep mentioning that the one and only time he's won a Stanley Cup, he didn't have the hideous beard thing going. Since then, he's done the hideous beard thing. Coincidence? Or is his freaky facial hair scaring the hockey gods?

Hey Sarah, thanks for the photo. Maybe Schneider is one of the few that can do the full playoff beard. Do you have a preference? You would rather see him clean shaven?

early playoff beards? Are you sure you want to go there with one of your newest editions?
