Bob Gainey Makes Worst Deal of Decade; two decades in a row!
Habs GM traded away Chris Higgins, Pavel Valentenko, Doug Janik, and prize 1st rounder Ryan McDonaugh for Scott Gomez, Tom Pyatt, Michael Busto. Blech.

I’ve heard and read a lot of things about [...]
DRAFT DAY – No Vinny Deal. JAY BO to CALGARY – Bob not Busy
No big surprises so far in the draft. Islanders pick Tavares; Tampa Bay gets Hedman; and Matt Duchesne is an Nordique Avalanche.
