    Alright Mr wilde . What is the feeling on Mr letang? Too much health concern? Would you take him if they can pass alzner somewhere . Anywhere . ?

    • Brian Wilde says

      I would not take Letang. He has seen the better side of his career already. He is playing terribly. He won’t find his game again. He has massive injury history. If Bergevin gives up something big for him, then you are free to give up on Bergevin. I will join you.

    Thanks Brian, great summary. This is the first Habs loss this year where I have to admit, I am indifferent, because it does not matter, nothing will change. That’s sad. It really is in my opinion about next year. Happy New year!

    • Brian Wilde says

      I agree Vic. Though they are only one game under 500 and many people are acting like they are the Coyotes, it is hard to see where they can string the 8 together that is necessary for the playoffs.

      • Elisabeth Di Niro says

        It’s not gonna happen. Their season is over. I would take letang either. Let him go to a rebuild team where he can mentor new young players. Or keep him in Pittsburgh and have him mentor the blue line there. He did a great job at it last year when he wasn’t playing.

    I cant even listen to the radio anymore,hours of whats wrong with the habs blahblahblah..nothing is wrong,they are icing the least competative team possible to help ensure the needed loss to draft high.flu,foot injurys whatever sit em out,lose,lose,lose.
    Top players not producing because they are “wink wink” in with the secret dont tell the media,but its make sure we dont score and lose mode.
    Im still a fan luv habs hockey,still cant wait for the game,cheer for every habs goal,but just hope they end up losing…for the good of the outfit. Trade freeze lifting very soon.watch for driftwood to be moved out for draft choices.
