'The French-language daily La Presse reported Friday that Andrei Kostitsyn and Sergei Kostitsyn had social ties with Pasquale Mangiola [only 2.5 letters away from Mangini!], who was arrested Feb. 12.
“We’re very concerned,” Montreal general manager Bob Gainey said at a news press conference at the team’s suburban practice facility. “We’re very concerned because we know that this person who became involved with these players, he’s not the only person who wants to find a place to enter the inner area of the hockey team.”
La Presse said none of the three players is suspected of any criminal activity.'
Awesome. Apparently Bob Gainey sat everyone down and said that associations with, you know, those involved with organized crime are a bad idea. He also noted that "it doesn’t reflect well on our team, it doesn’t reflect well on the individuals, it cannot be extinguished as a possible inhibitor to our performance." The third (or 'turd') player in question was Hamrlik.
Quit imploding! Now! Come on!
There was some University of Alberta study a few weeks ago that showed the Habs still have a 95% chance of making the playoffs. I wonder how that number changes from day to day.
