Bob Gainey

MONTREAL - With all the new faces brought in and all the money spent in doing so, Bob Gainey and the Montreal Canadiens no longer had time to wait for a player like Guillaume Latendresse to develop. That was one of the reasons Gainey ship...  

While GM Bob Gainey plays his cards close to his vest, he was surrounded by most of his scouting staff before the club's Friday night game in Washington and the speculation is there is a move coming. Gainey would like to deal disgruntled forward ...  

We have previously wondered what were Bob Gainey's biggest moves since he came into office with the Montreal Canadiens. Some have talked about Alexei Kovalev, some about Carey Price, but here is another one that might top some charts: Guillaume Latendresse is no longer a Canadiens. The hype surrounding Latendresse has always been reportedly associated with his birth certificate. Drafted 45th overall, his arrival with the team has been...  

Yes, "the softy" has been moved to Minnesota for "the chicken." That's as far as my high school French, no doubt erroneously, will take me. Underachievers Benoit Pouliot and Guillaume Latendresse have been exchanged for each other. Bob Gainey suggested, "Often times a different environment, new teammates, and a new situation can be beneficial to a player." Latendresse was chosen in the second round, 45th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in...  

Has anyone ever played more, after a PLAY ME OR TRADE ME demand? I don't want Bob Gainey forced into any 'malcontent discount' in trading away Halak. And why doesn't anyone ever demand to be traded TO Montreal? Someone like, say, Ovechkin or Kovalchuk? If you or I were Jaroslav Halak, wouldn't we want to play more or be traded? That's the nature of every backup goalie...  

MONTREAL - Benoit Pouliot is headed to the Montreal Canadiens after being traded from the Minnesota Wild for Guillaume Latendresse.Habs GM Bob Gainey said the young forwards "are two players at the same stage in their careers who were still looking to make a place for themselves with the teams that drafted them  

Thoughts? Analysis: When Bob Gainey took over this team, they were small at center, lacked a powerforward and lacked NHL depth. Seven years later, the same problems exist. During the past couple of years, Bob has let assets like: Souray, Streit, Komisarek, Ryder, Koivu, Tanguay, Kovalev, and others move on to other teams without getting anything in return. Imagine the [...]  

It's unlikely that Jacques Martin and Bob Gainey wanted to see what their team looked like without power play quarterback Andrei Markov. Unfortunately for Martin and Gainey, Markov has been out since the first game of the season in Toronto. Although it has been a roller coaster ride for the Canadiens since, Gainey and Martin now have a much clearer picture of their team, particularly at the blue line, without Markov. Simply put, that picture...  

MONTREAL, QC - Montreal Canadiens General Manager Bob Gainey announced today that forward Sergei Kostitsyn has been recalled to the Canadiens from the Hamilton Bulldogs. Kostitsyn, 22, ranks second on this Bulldogs in points this season with 13 (four ...  

The Montreal Canadiens have reached the quarter of the season. That said, general manager Bob Gainey must be nervous and anxiously waiting for his summer spending spree come together. It’s been an “ups and downs” first quarter so far, but there have been a bit too many downs for my taste. The team is in the bottom half of nearly every category. So the first quarter in general is a fail in my book. There are big questions going down the road...
