What is Gauthier doing?

       What is Gauthier doing? That is the question. Rumors have been going wild and in all kinds of directions, fans have no idea what is credible and what is not. If the General Manager stays in hiding and doesn't address the media to but things straight, people can only speculate. Even if i don't like Brian Burke at least he talks to the media and says what are his intentions and if  there is any truth to the rumors out there. Because if he doesn't all these rumors might or might not distract the players. I agree he can't come out and say for example he is in negotiations with a team for a trade, cause that may break a deal, but at least say if you are in talks with teams and what you are looking for or that you are looking to improve you're team.
        In January Gomez was starting to play better, and then all of a sudden February began with all these rumors and suddenlly he became invisible again. All those talks of Gomez being shopped and that a deal was almost made in him going to Pheonix for Ed Jovanoski (which I don't believe) might of disrupted his concentration a bit. Or all the trades involving Kostitsyn in the last month, with the latest one coming out this morning at 1am, saying a deal was made with Nashville and was just awaiting confirmation. With a simple 5 minute conference call Gauthier could stop all the speculation and make things clear. Another nonsense rumor was one sending Cammy to anaheim in a package deal with the Habs getting Bobby Ryan in return. Let me be perfectly be clear if Bob Murray were to make this trade he would be the laughing stock of all the NHL and Gauthier would be a genius, so don't even dream about Bobby Ryan in a habs uniform.
So to conclude in this gauthier story, all he has to do is come out and say something, like is he looking to improve his team or he thinks his team is good enough the way it is? That would calm down the fans a bit and cool off all of the rumors and speculations going on, because like this we have no idea what is going on.
     Now for tonight's game against the leafs. Just confirmed that Auld will be in net today, I might of preferred Price be there to try to get his 3rd shutout against the leafs but I understand the canadiens need to keep Price fresh and ready for the playoffs.
     I don't want people to say I always talk about Desharnais but I predict he will have a good game tonight with more ice time that he's going to get at home with Martin getting the last change. The Leafs are making a push to make the palyoffs, ( who would of thought) so they will be very dangerous for the rest of the season. Lookout for kessel, he's starting to heat up! But the canadiens need to beat teams behind them and show they are dangerous also and start making a claim for a 5th, 4th or even 3th place in their conference. So expect tonight's game to be an high scoring game with over 5 goals.
Should be a good game to watch.
      As I was about to finish my article, a trade has been confirmed sending Kovalev to Penguins for a late round pick, so at least there will be no more rumors involving Kovalev coming to the habs. So thank you for clearing that one up even if it wasn't Gauthier doing it!
