The Montreal Canadiens have called a news conference for 4pm et/1pm pt where will announce that Bob Gainey is stepping down as general manager of the hockey club.

Assistant general manager Pierre Gauthier will take over the duties on an interim basis.

I find it interesting how Gainey totally reinvented the Montreal team this past offseason and how they're still in playoff contention. It's not usual where you see a 'bought' team do well (see: New York Rangers) over a team that develops its' players and works the prospects into the lineup.

I now hope that Gauthier's first move is Halak or Price to Edmonton for Khabibulin, Horcoff and Moreau. :rolleyes:

Looks like Gainey is saying "I've tried everything and we're still mediocre.... good luck, I'm out"
