I enjoy the running down of all the deals McGuire said sucked, which Mitch disagreed with him on every account at time, weird he left that out.

GM's make good trades and bad trades...Pierre Gauthier has yet to make a bad trade IMHO. As far as Gomez...the team was being blown up and no one would sign in Montreal because of the negative media. Mitch...you're part of that problem. McDonagh was drafted from High School...it was worth the risk as no one knew what he would become. Our last HS draft(Fisher) didn't make the NHL. HS is too young to be drafting from. Gauthier is a great GM. I can make a very long list of all the good things he has done, which far outweigh the bad and petty personal knocks against him Mr. Melnick.

Wow your really lost. "a great GM" I can name 100 bad things but it's simple- how does a great GM put his team 2 points from last place in the east? You never played hockey - don't comment on things you know nothing about. And yes I played semi- pro

Great GM - he's clueless on cap and how to build a team

Maybe not the worst possible choice for the Habs next GM but McSplooge certainly ranks right up there with any of the stellar wannabes on l'antichambre. Seriously Mitch, the guy is a media star not GM material.

Did you also save the fact that McGuire said Price was a horrible pick? Or how about taking McDonagh instead of Angelo Esposito (remember him?)?

If you look through all those comments he made they’re almost all negative, or backhanded compliments. He begrudgingly offers praise of the Montreal Canadiens because he wants the job.

He won’t ever get the job because he doesn’t have managerial experience. He never offers a dispassionate view of the team, and because of that he’s prone to knee-jerk reactions when they aren’t warranted.

The biggest, most obvious example of this, is the Jaroslav Halak trade. It was a goalie rich free agent pool, with few teams looking for a goalie. One of the teams looking was Philadelphia (for obvious reasons), no matter the package that Montreal might have extracted from Philly it wouldn’t have been worth the trouble they would have posed in the Eastern Conference.

That left Gauthier with a small pool of teams in the Western conference looking for goaltending. We’re talking about a conference that left a defending Stanley Cup winning goalie walk away from an arbitration contract. Do you think anyone in Montreal would have allowed a GM to let a Stanley Cup winning goalie walk as a restricted free agent? You’re kidding yourself.

So Gauthier went out and targeted a need (instead of working a ‘market’ that didn’t exist for a player), a big, skilled center. Eller is big, and skilled, and at the half post of the season he’s got 10 goals playing in a checking role, more often than not against top lines from the other team. Eller has made both Moen and Kostitsyn better players: one who had hands of stone for his entire career in Montreal; and the other plagued by inconsistency his entire career. I’d say that’s a good jump forward in development for a second year center (he’s looking to put up comparable numbers to Tomas Plekanec’s second season, but Eller also has the advantage of being a big forward, not as easily pushed around).

The Pierre McGuire drinking game!
The best drinking game of all time. If you love hockey, you will think this is probably the funniest, and best idea for a drinking game. This game is so realistic, and guarente's drunkness, after just 1 game.

The Offical Pierre Mcguire Drinking game:

DRINK ONE GULP OF YOUR DRINK IF PIERRE USES ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
* Dion Phaneuf
* Mike Richards
* Carey Price
* Jonathen Toews
* Monster
* Whaaamo!
* El- Kabong
* Real Deal
* Puck Poise
* Big Body Presence
* Active Stick
* Calls a Player "Special" or " a fine young man"
* Wow!
* Tenacity

DRINK TWO GULPS OF YOUR DRINK IF PIERRE:

* Giggles at any point during the game(this just made me burst out ****ing laughing for no reason.)
* Pronounces a European club team using European Pronounciation
* Mentions people he met in Europe
* Says " Team 'X' Scouting staff did a great job finding this player"
* Says Something extremeley gay (EX. Big Stick...SHOWERS....player with shirt off)
* Goes nuts when a team, has two many men
* WJC host city is "Beautiful" or "Filled with great people"
* If a stick breaks and Pierre rambles on about one-piece sticks
* Says welcome to the Show (Ex. Welcome to the Crosby Show)
* Cuts off Gord Miller (Ex. WJC 2009 Eberle ties the game)
* If pierre says "Time and Space"
* If Pierre goes on about a players Junior Career
* If Pierre says "Its Hammer Time"
* Says "Sheer Larcany"

HAVE 3 GULPS OF YOUR DRINK IF PIERRE:

* Mentions a Staal brother who isn't playing
* Mentions a Sutter brother who isn't involved in the game
* Says the Game is a Classic!
* says " Team X should be so exicted about havng this guy he is gonna be great for them down the road".
* If Pierre says "Roof Daddy"
* If Pierre goes " Thats a Double Dion"
* Pierre uses his famous line "He suckin' dirty pond water"
* "x" player is oozing with hockey sense."
* drink if pierre uses 3 or more adjectives consecutively to describe a player or a team... Ie: "Size, athleticism, composure etc..." extra drinks if he uses terms such as "big body presence" that are already on the chart as said adjectives.

CHUG A BEER IF PIERRE:

* Has an Orgasm at the mic (Ex. Dustin Tokarski save WJC 2009)
* If Pierre ruins the moment aka butchers the call (Ex. WJC 2009 Eberle ties the game with 5.5 seconds left.... Gord Miller: Can you Believe it!..Pierre: I can!
* Says " Thats vintage X" (Ex. Thats Vintage Jake Allen)

I'd also like to include bringing up Clarke forgetting Giroux's name at the draft, because he brings it up every Flyers game.

Or his CONSTANT chatter about how he had the BEST teacher in Scotty Bowman, then follows that up with some kind of hockey coaching 101 thing, but he makes it sound like only Scotty knew about it and he inherited coaching greatest by hearing it from Scotty
