GAINEY TALKS ABOUT WHY HIGGINS, PLEAKENC AND GORGES WERE NOT PLAYING THAT WELL



Gainey told the media yesterday that Higgins,Pleakenc and Jorgers were not playing well because the Bolts G.M said that he was shopping them around."The second half of our season was when things started to go off course and I felt the first place was when we had discussions with Tampa Bay," said Gainey. "We had an agreement with them.I got a call in January from them with a list of names that they wanted to talk about and those players ended up in public because they used those names to take them to other teams to see if they could create a different trade for Vincent Lecavalier. I think it was disgraceful that Josh Gorges, Tomas Plekanec and Chris Higgins have to read that stuff." As you can see all the problems that were happening during the season with the Canadiens are starting to slowly come out.
