This team needs all the good will and press that it can get, and I don't think pulling the Trademark card at the local paper (who you've been feuding with for a decade) is going to help you any. This franchise is at a crucial stage right now. Many fans can be won or lost in a matter of a few years. It's really up to Danny boy and how he plays it. Is he going to continue to be that arrogant asshole that doesn't listen to anybody and does exactly what he wants or is he going to be that guy that can shut the **** up, stay out of the football operations and let professionals run his team. For our sakes, I hope it's the latter.


Interesting enough the Habs decided to get their named pulled from their local paper at a time their fans were 11th on the list of worst fans in America. You'd think they'd need all the good press they can get.

I'm just pointing out that it's not a unique occurrence.

Nah, I think more likely that it's because people have accused the organization and Jacques Martin of lying about Pacioretty's injury because of a couple articles, one of which was from a Gazette author. Habs fans wouldn't care about it because their owner hasn't alienated them at all, unlike here. Besides, Arpon Basu has a blog call the Daily Hab-it.
