Better Know a Molson Brother: Geoffrey

Welcome our new swill-producing overlords! In an effort to get to know the Habs new owners (pending league approval), FHF is pleased to present our three-part series Better Know a Molson Brother. Today: Geoffrey.

Name: Geoffrey E. Molson, aka "Geoff" aka "the good-looking brother." You'll know why when you see photos of the other two.

Current Molson position: Vice-President Marketing of Molson Canada and member of the Board of Directors of Molson Coors. Also serves as Molson Coors' rep on the Habs' Board.

Favourite Molson product: Heineken. This guy is class. Think he's drinking any actual Molson crap?

Family line: Great great great great grandson of Molson Breweries founder John Molson.

Bio: At age 38, Geoff has done more than you. He played hockey at St Lawrence University and went on to get his MBA from the Babson School of Business. He then worked at Coca-Cola and CSC Consulting before being forced at gunpoint to join the family business in 1999. He has climbed the ranks, working as a director and in several Vice-President positions. There was no nepotism involved. He is active with numerous charities including St Mary's Hospital. He has four kids.

Fun facts: His wife is from Boston, thus destroying the old hockey axiom not to date within the division. Loves puppies and the History Channel. Once got drunk at a charity function (on 30-year old scotch) and jumped on the bar screaming "Sig heil, Herr Coors!" Would appreciate the humour in this paragraph because he can bring the funny himself:

The Morning Skate for Monday, June 22nd

Bullet points for what you missed while dreaming of getting a new liver...

• The post-sale analysis and recriminations have begun! Pat Hickey calls Québecor the biggest loser in the deal. Well, duh. Guy Lafleur thinks the Molsons will make the team more francophone. Huh? Shut up, Guy;
  
• Somehow Le Fonds de solidarité de la FTQ are partners with the Molsons, or at least has some sort of investment. There goes our feeling of superiority over the Pension Planners;
• In other news, looks like Brent sutter will be the new Flames coach.

In an effort to play nice with the new owners, we at FHF would like to take a moment to profess our love for the wide range of fine Molson products. Except for Coors Light, that shit is gross. Oh and Ex ain't so great either. And who drinks Molson Dry anymore? And is Laurentide still a beer or did it go out of production in the 80's? We guess what we're saying is, please keep widening the distribution of Creemore.

Really crappy beer makers seek full Habs ownership

Just too many fucking posts today.

So it looks like Habs minority owners Molson Coors want in on the hot Habs buying action. Geoffrey Molson sent out a press release today that says Molson Coors want to put in an offer.

You know, for a team that is still not officially for sale, the price keeps going up by 50 million every week.

Many lap dances to FHF legend moeman for mentioning this first

The Morning Skate for Thursday, June 28th

Bullet points for what you missed while dreaming of the Molson Ex Zone girls dancing after a goal...

• Daniel Brière and the Sabres have made "no progress" in contract talks. I love the way a story about nothing happening is the lead on RDS.ca. Dream on, francophone media, he's not coming here;
• Hall of Fame announcement to come to today. Messier's in, then it gets messy;
• Martin Brodeur quits the NHL Competition Committee in protest of them not protecting goalies enough. Marty was upset they wouldn't let goalies slash players in their crease with impugnity;
• HF10's debut was stellar. He'll put the rest of us to shame with actual writing skills;
• UFA period hours countdown - 66. Just a magical number.

Keep checking back for more UFA previews as Canada Day/UFA Day draws near. And for those of you who hate hockey, I'm sure there'll be some hot chicks too. You know, that are related to hockey somehow.
