I was so outraged I wrote a letter to the Gazette.
What ever happened to the sports media at the Gazette? The Canadiens get obliterated 5-1 by the worst team in the playoffs, and I read nothing but rational analysis of the massacre. Where is the irrational fist waving and bleating? Where are the demands that the NHL revamp its rules to let the Canadiens trade its entire team during the playoffs? How could such disgustingly measured, prudent and responsible stories make it to a Montreal newspaper??
In the future, please use headlines such as “Price Chopper” or “The Price is Wrong” and make sure that the story is accordingly alarmist. If this coddling goes on, players might actually like playing in Montreal and Jacques Lemaire might one day be in the coach’s seat – disaster!!
