Gainey QUITS As Canadiens G.M.? I Think Not!

The Canadiens press conference on February 8th was nothing but corporate
spin...Bob Gainey claimed he was tired of doing the job and had decided in December that he was not continuing as general manager of the Montreal Canadiens...With 3 months left in the season!In July,2009,Gainey changed the face of this team with ELEVEN new player signings.He seemed optimistic with the teams future.Of course the signings proved to be average at best and questionable...Why so many huge contracts,for so many years,for so many average players?Gainey panicked at the thought of not being able to sign anyone...And this mediocre team,with NO cap room,is the end result.Why would Gainey leave his post when his work was clearly never finished.Bob Gainey never quit anything in his life.
...Gainey read from his notes because nothing he said was from
the HEART...He was forced out as G.M. and the most delicate transition
the Canadiens' brass could invent to save face for the Canadiens' and
Gainey was for Bob to stay on as an assistant to Pierre Gauthier for the
remainder of the season...Yet he claimed in the ensuing weeks that he will be watching the Olympics and relaxing...If Gainey's heart is truly not into his
work,then why is he still being entrusted to make vital decisions for
the organization...The truth is that Gainey no longer works for the Canadiens and will be as visible as Howard Hughes was.
