Habs Media and Bloggosphere In All Its Glory

A funny and odd thing just happened to me in the last hour, and it was just too interesting not to pass it along to you all. Late this afternoon, after reading Mike Boone's column "About Last Night..." following the Rangers game, I dropped him a note, complimenting him on the inspiring and extremely well written piece. Almost as an afterthought, I asked Mike if his piece was in any way a response to an imflammatory bunch of crap penned by Jack Todd in the Gazette on Friday. Did Mike ever have an answer to that? I didn't know about it, but Mike pointed me to a piece at Four Habs Fans I hadn't yet read. Not only was it hilarious in their usual manner, but this one's as good as a knife into the rep of one of the Hab media biggest criers and flipfloppers. Mike's answer to my question can actually be found down in the comments at FHF. Scroll down there at check it out.
If you want to follow this as I did, read Todd first, then Mike, and finally FHF.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on all this!

Loved how Todd jumps on guys like Subban and Weber (note the spelling Mr. Todd).
Weber has only had time with the Habs as an injury replacement ,and is still in his development phase. Subban just signed with the Canadiens in the spring.
If not mistaken, I believe one of those picks that Gainey traded for Grabovski was later traded to the Blackhawks for Robert Lang. Maybe Mr. Todd forgets that Lang led the Canadiens in scoring before his season-ending injury.
Yeah trading Christopher Higgins was a mistake Mr. Todd. No goals so far and benched in the third period on Saturday. Meanwhile look how Mara and Gomez are playing thus far.
Meanwhile, Mike Cammalleri has as many points as Alex Tanguay, Saku Koivu, Alex Kovalev, and Chris Higgins combined.
Surprised that a paper like the Gazette, with several top NHL writers (Fisher, Stubbs, etc.) allow this guy to write for them. Maybe that’s why he only has a hotmail email at the bottom of his column.
Should be mentioned too that Pacioretty came via a trade, along with Josh Gorges, for Craig Rivet.
Monday Stats
The three most important stats about how we are positioned in a 30 team league each week.

Prophets of doom get more attention than the optimists, and Todd seems to be an attention whore.
However, if Todd wrote that article 5 days earlier, a lot more people might have been agreeing with him though. One bad break, and the last game might have been lost, and then we can’t give him the “fuck you”, so it all will play itself out over the course of the season.
The last game was a sweet win though. Gionta, Cammaleri, and Gomez is going to be a great line if they stay healthy. They’re really impressive to watch. Gionta amazes me how he never quits and never gives up on the play, and manufactures scoring chances out of nothing.
We can question some of the things Gainey has done, sure. But he certainly did his homework on getting these guys.
