The E-mail Chain - Patrice Brisebois and My Ulcer

So if you read HF29's profile on the right, you'll see that FHF arose out of the FHF's email exchanges. Then we thought, WTF, we'll just post the email exchanges, unedited (typos included!). And a cheap blogging shortcut was born. Here's Volume 2.

Panger76: WTF is up with Brisebois? I am starting to lose faith in Bob Gainey. Beginning to remind me of Dick Cheney: ultra secretive, powerful, but making wrong decisions at every turn

Habsfan29: hehehehe

You know yesterday I had several moments when I actually believed it may be a good idea. Veteran D, cheap, as long as he’s the 6th D, backup up PP QB, leadership role with Souray et al gone, etc. Then I slapped myself across the face and snapped out of it.

Habsfan33: I also felt for a fraction of a second that it actually could work out. But only if the NHL afforded a special rule to the Canadiens whereby the nets at the Bell Centre could be elevated to the glass boards in the corners.

Panger76: Oh I have heard the arguments, and the one that sticks out is that he will absorb criticism from the rest of the team and be a lightening rod so to speak for French media. But isn’t this a slap to the face of fans? I mean, why doesn’t he just sign Lindros and trade for Riberio?
