I have to laugh at constantly bringing up the fact that Gauthier could not tell Gill or Spacek where they were going before the deal was finalized. Yeah he should be classy like a lot of teams and let players find out on TSN or Twitter that they have been traded...
I'm surprised Gauthier has yet to be blamed for the robocall scandal. he's been blamed for every other problem recently.
When Pierre Gauthier is hired by another NHL team, you can follow him there as well
The guy is horrible and not what this franchise needs going forward

talking about gauthier, you can have an argument that his trades were good, or his trades were bad, but you CANNOT, have an argument that they have been handled in a professional, respectful way.
from cammy being traded mid-game, to chosing cunneyworth as coach, to gill not even having a good-bye press-conference, this automaton, has consistently understated the importance of the human element in his job.
argue his trades? ok. argue how he made those trades? no ****ing way...
Our resident "sewer rat" is at it again. I'm not posting the link because I don't want him to get the traffic.
As much as I hate the job Gauthier has done, Todd again lowers himself to the gutters to make a point. This time using the illness of Jean Beliveau to trash Gauthier.
I'm no fan of Gauthier's but to drag Beliveau into this (esp considering the timing of it) to try to make a point is disgraceful. Once again, Todd oversteps the bourdaries of good taste and turns this into a personal attack.
Some of his criticisms (I edited out the rest of the article) may be valid but Jack Todd's lack of journalistic professionalism overshadows any valid points that he tries to make. I've said it before and I'll say it again. He is an embarassment to the city of Montreal. He is an embarassment to his own newspaper. He is an embarassment to journalism himself. As much as I think PG needs to be fired, Jack Todd should come first. His writing is absolute garbage.
I think you are grasping on this one, his article wasn't bad at all this time around.

While I'm not excusing Todd over the Fleury article, I find that people should grow a thicker skin instead of looking for fleas everywhere and in every word.
Here's the link, as I feel it's only fair, if you're going to bash the guy and open a topic on it, to provide the link if, for nothing else, copyrights alone: http://www.montrealgazette.com/sport...270/story.html
I personally see nothing wrong with this article. Yes, he does mix the story of Beliveau into his story on Gauthier, but it's to prove his point. The focus of the article in question is about class and respect. In his opinion, he's showing the two extremes.
Like him or not, Todd isn't wrong on that, in my opinion of course.
With the exception of his pieces lambasting Brochu, Lorria, and his pee-wee son-in-law, Todd has always been a hack. It's not difficult to see why fellow hack Tremblay and he don't like Gauthier. Say all the silly things you want to about Gauthier but he doesn't bow down to them. They're used to the old school lazy way of getting a story: waiting until someone calls them and unloads. I bet these two don't even have a twitter account, not that anyone would want to follow them.
Could have omitted the Béliveau part, the pg part is about right, could have added BG to this PG part as well.
Never in my GD 42 yrs of habs, have i ever seen the crap management of those two.

Wow, you still can't get your mind around this can you?
Bringing Béliveau, class incarnate, who is in the hospital, into an ad hominem attack, is pretty terrible. I'd ask what was Todd thinking, but I think he stopped doing that a long time ago.
Tremblay had more class in his hatchet job dammit. Says a lot.
