I disagree with this whole celebration, I mean this guy is a professional and I'm sure he's well aware of his scoring drought and him seeing this type stuff had to hurt and make the guy feel even more worse than he already is feeling. I wish the fans wouldn't do this type of stuff, I'm sure players read or hear about this stuff and really want to jump on the chance to play for the habs.

Agreed with all this. I have nothing against Gomez as a person, and I would love it if he did well for us. But he isn't, and he takes up 7 million dollars of our cap, so this is the result.
Personally I hope this embarasses the Canadiens organization for (a) making that trade and (b) sticking with a $7 million dollar player who hasn't scored a goal in a calendar year when other teams would have cut their losses long ago.
