UP-&-DOWN CANADIENS MAKE LAST-DITCH EFFORT TO SAVE SEASON
Coming off one of their more impressive wins of the year, Montreal Canadiens general manager Bob Gainey dumped head coach Guy Carbonneau late Monday afternoon and stepped behind the bench. The Habs have won 5 of 7 to sit fifth in the Eastern Conference, but that's only 2 points ahead of ninth-placed Carolina.
Montreal's centennial season was supposed to be about a Stanley Cup run; instead, there have been links to mobsters, accusations of over-partying, Alex Kovalev's sabbatical, and now a new head coach. And with Gainey's failure to make a trade before the deadline, a fairy tale ending isn't likely.
There will be more on this story in Thursday's edition of "Dropping the Gloves".
