Montreal Canadiens general manager Bob Gainey quit his job on Monday, the team announced. He’ll remain with Montreal’s front office in an advisory role and will be replaced by Pierre Gauthier.

“I’ve done my best and now it’s time for me to pass the torch,” Gainey said on Monday. “I believe that the general manager position requires a long-term vision and a long-term commitment. At this point, I’m not prepared to make a commitment of four or five or six more years in this position.
“If I had to choose between leaving a little earlier, or a little later, I’d prefer (to go) earlier.”
During Gainey’s reign, after being hired in 2003, the Canadiens haven’t been a legitimate threat to win it all. Their best season was in 2007-08 when they finished atop the Eastern Conference, but the Philadelphia Flyers took care of them in five games during the Conference Semifinals.
Gainey was more productive as a player for the Canadiens. He was drafted 8th overall in 1973 and played in 16 seasons (all with Montreal), winning four consecutive Frank J. Selke Trophies and five Stanley Cups (1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1986).
Gainey was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1992.
I want you to remember who trained you for the front office!

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The user interface is decorative, has a lot more sparkle, and some awesome characteristics like ‘Mixview’ which let you rapidly see related cds, tracks, or other users associated to what you’re playing. Clicking on one of them will center on that item, and another set of “friends” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by the same performers, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” can be fantastic fun, letting you find others with shared preferences and getting friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist produced based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are hearing, which can also be enjoyable. People worried with privacy are going to be relieved to find out it is possible to prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits in the event you so pick.
