bottom line, the montreal media here is constantly courting idiotic controversy. BUT it is part of their job to create this sensationalism. part of the problem is the undiscerning fans who continue to lap it up and suck it in as gospel truth. i met pierre gauthier about 3 months ago at a montreal resto near the bell center he frequents. his and i suppose bob gainey's take on the french media? and i paraphrase as best i can:
'this city is hockey mad, the passion is great and yes the media can be out of control but it is what makes this place special to play and work in. players and management realize the media is creating a show, it's a show and we don;t perceive it as anything more'
his words.
