There is a lot of rumblings, mostly from the French media that the Habs locker room has become dysfunctional, that the 29 minute player's 'meeting' was more of a battle royale that pitted captain Koivu against Alex Kovalev...reports are that Kovalev called out Saku, and Saku for his part told Kovalev to bring it on. Rumour has it that Souray then stepped in and may have been the 'cause' of Kovalev's elbow injury. Again much of this is hearsay, I would not doubt that the player's meeting might have been very heated, and not all lovie dovie, but it might be a stretch to think that it got to a point where one 'star' player attacked and physically injured another.
It seems at this point that there is absolutely no good news eminating from Mtl. The player's have folded up tent, management seems content to sit on their hands and the coaching staff seems incapable to get any kind of message through. If in fact the locker room has melted down to the point where 3 of its 'leaders' have resolved to settle things in confrontation instead of communication, is there any hope left that this team can get its shit together and make a last gasp push for the playoffs??? Can anyone say fire sale???

1) While its likely true that there has been internal dissension(what losing team doesn't?) leave it to the Franco-phone media to spice/embellish(make up) the details. LOL
2) As we mentioned yesterday its now up to BG to do something to stop the bleeding.
Well I think the Habs have (to steal a US political catchphrase) plunged into a quagmire, BG has waited too long to find a quick fix at this point. I am thinking he tries to get as much as he can in the Souray sweepstakes...and then pulls the Chicago deal for Aucoin...at least Souray's shot won't be all that missed that way.
