I can appreciate your comments, and they are well written. However the purpose of my post was to tell our most impatient fans to wait a little while for a contender. It is not going to happen this year, unless Gainey sells all of our prospects for a couple of stars, that might put the Habs in the playoffs this year but do nothing for the future. I know there were some big name UFA's that we were unseccessful in landing, which would have helped develope some of the prospects, but in the end I would rather see the Canadiens save some money to keep the prospects that will be deserving of big contracts in 2-3 years, instead of spending big bucks on a star now, that will not be deserving of thier contract in 2-3 years ala Kovalev.

Well apparently you don't argue, because you like to present yourself as being above such discourse. Consider this an invitation to talk hockey, if you've actually have something to say.

Whatever you want to tell yourself, read my original post, its better most shit that gets put up on this site and is a pretty spot in describing the culture of the Habs.

"good job Winner!"

Exactly see I wanted to show you what it feels like to hear some ignorant comments like you take the time to make… Funniest part it you even took the time to had another little personnal attack. It's funny to see that I just did the same thing you did to make you realize, but obviously you are dumber than I thought I was making fun of you, but you did it yourself good job Winner!

Its funny, Gainey has no interest in buying a championship, yet he went to great lengths to sign Daniel Briere and Ryan Smyth this off season. Both UFA who are questionable long term investments. Gainey failed in securing either of those two UFAs, then overpaid Hamrlik (who will probably fit in well with the Habs, but without question is overpaid). Its important to keep in mind Gainey's intent to sign free agents and his inability to get land them. This being the case and assuming you're right, then Gainey's failures are his strength.

I'll take fake fans over shallow analysis any day.

I get annoyed at overly optimistic Leafs fans as well. Thats not the point here, why is that if someone buries the Habs like I did in my original post the immediate reaction is to point at the Leafs rather that actually discuss the Habs.

As for 89-90, you misread my post, I said, I wouldn't expect a Calgary fan to brag about a championship won in 89-90 (when the Flames beat the Habs) when discussing hockey today.

I see 1993 about as much as I see 1967. Its amuses me, because pretty everyone from both of those eras are retired today. They both have nothing to do with 2007.

Thats cute little post you wrote there, but allow me to bring some clarity to your confuse but cliche message board response. I only post here when I'm bored at work, I don't post here at night or on weekends, I have better ways to spend my own time.

Dude, you express yourself like a cartoon of that ignorant narrow minded fan stuck in 1993, whose hockey insight is as shallow as his personal attacks. Thanks for validating my original post.
