It's not a Eklund rumour but it's a Habs rumour: Tony Marinero just said that the kids this year are nice guys. Except one guy who he said drinks a lot and it's easy to see during interviews. But he didn't say who. Who looks bad on television in post-games talks?
I kind of get the feeling that it'd be Pouliot, but as long as he's putting the puck in the net I don't give a ****.
Rinfret said he wears Robinson's number.. then Tony said "yeah but backwards".
... but seriously who cares?
Really the Habs could clean up this mess if they had their lawyers throw slander/libel charges out once and a while.
If they clearly said Gomez is an alcoholic, which is sounds like, and he isn't... Fire lawyers at them. Maybe people would think twice before stirring ****.
Normally I'd be horrified by this possibility, but with the issue of our secondary scoring, I could live with this sort of lineup when fully healthy...
With Cammalleri out 6 weeks (4 weeks in terms of NHL schedule), Whitney would be a very solid rental imo. I still hope for a big and gritty 3rd liner (especially if O'Byrne keeps providing us with solid hockey) but if Gainey acquires Whitney, I would be a happy fan.
D'Agostini for Whitney?

All the Eklund stuff aside in the Eklund thread
D'Agostini for Whitney sounds fair to me, but might not to Canes' fans. D'Ago has been a big ZERO this season. You'd be happy to get a 6th pick for him, honest.
I don't get it. Apparently Pittsburgh is turning away from Whitney because they don't want to cough up a 1st round pick, which is likely to be in the 25-30 range. If the asking price is a 1st, Montreal should have zero interest, even aside from his smallness.
