In a move that many a Montreal Canadiens fan has been clamoring for since, well, really the end of last season, Pierre Gauthier is no longer the General Manager of the Canadiens. The circus surrounding him included firing an assistant coach before a game, firing a head coach the morning of a game, hiring a coach that can't speak French, and trading a player during a game. Oh, and he traded for what used to be Tomas Kaberle, but that's a story in itself. To say Gauthier overstayed his welcome is an understatement, but it does have to be said, and Bob Gainey is out of a job, too, as he is no longer a special advisor, a role he took after stepping down as GM, precipitating the Gauthier Error. Montreal needs to rebuild, and whoever gets named GM or coach (no way does Randy Cunneyworth begin next season as head coach) will be squarely in the line of fire from fans from day one.
