A lot of media driven talk about hiring Pierre as Habs GM. Someone found this article from 1994 after Paul Holmgren returned from rehab to fire Pierre McGuire as Hartford's head coach after less than a full season. It's amazing.

http://articles.courant.com/1994-05-21/ ... l-holmgren

Wow. It's incredibly blistering and, let's be honest, it sounds exactly like Pierre McGuire.

You know how one of McGuire's favourite anecdotal stories is about a young Michael Nylander claiming to be the 'Swedish Gretzky'? I love the paragraph on Nylander in here to add some depth to that relationship.

Wow! For some reason I don't remember him as coach, then again, the Whalers sucked and I paid little attention to them.

Great article!

Come on even the Molsons are not that stupid to hire McGuire....

Are they? :ohdear:

The campaign for Pierre is entirely from his buddies in the media, no evidence he's a serious candidate (and frankly we don't know if Gauthier is even going to be fired). But just in case, it's important that Pierre's qualifications are completely ripped to shreds in case Molson is not aware of these stories. I mean, you would think not being employed by a NHL team since 1996 would be enough of a red flag...

Depends on how big of a fucking lunatic your owners are.

I will trade you monster Hal Gill for monster Steven Stamkos! Both Monsters but you will get the bigger monster! Then we will ban all composite sticks and acquire big body turning it up a notch slot area presence monsters from the Brent Sutter-coached Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey league. And we will hire Darren Dutchyshen because he's an announcer with a big stick.

Now excuse my while I change my pants because Double-Dion Phaneuf' Leafs and Nick Lidstrom's Red Wings are playing each other.

I don't think it's his media buddies driving this- I think it's people who have to watch his sorry ass on TV who are driving it: So they don't have to see him anymore.
