Like Montreal Canadians GM Bob Gainey doesn't have enough to worry about. His team sucks. They've won three games in regulation out of the past 15. Their goaltending situation is a mess. Now this:
CBC: NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed to Hockey Night in Canada's Jeff Marek that the league is investigating a report in Friday's edition of La Presse that links two Montreal Canadiens players to a man arrested in a recent sting operation.
"I can confirm we are investigating the facts," Daly wrote in an email exchange with Marek.
According to the Montreal newspaper, Canadiens forwards Andrei and Sergei Kostitsyn allegedly made calls to 38-year-old Pasquale Mangiola requesting vodka, women and luxury cars while the players were at local restaurants and bars.
For an old school guy like Gainey, this has to grate. Even if the players did nothing illegal, he may have found the answer as to why his hockey team is in the dirt: they're not as interested in hockey as they are in partying.
Nothing new, but he needs to address it fast. The Montreal press are going to have a field day.
