from Jack Todd of the Montreal Gazette,
Think of a shark in a Santa Claus outfit and you are probably closer to the real Mr. Gillett - because this is a team imploding from the top down, a team whose troubles are tied directly to an overextended owner and his reeling business empire.
There is nothing that can destabilize a team quite like like carrying nearly a dozen free agents, at least some of whom will definitely be playing elsewhere next year. Nothing tells your players you have given up like the failure to come up with significant help for the playoff run.
And nothing undercuts your team like having the news that the club is on the block break just as you are hanging onto a playoff spot by your fingernails.
Remember what Carbonneau said at his post-firing press conference? “It will all become clear with time.”
