What if Celine Dion buys the Habs?

Keep in mind that superstar singer Celine Dion could end up buying George Gillett's controlling interest in the Canadiens. Dion is pals with Avalanche president Pierre Lacroix, busy himself these days with his search to replace Francois Giguere as GM. If Dion buys the Habs, she could try to entice Lacroix back to La Belle Province, where he was a player agent prior to taking over the Avalanche (nee Nordiques) front office. Perhaps she can also serenade some sense into the Habs' loyal followers, whose passion, though admirable, is often fanatical to the point of farcical.

Farcical? Take a look at Red Sox fans Boston Globe. Until their recent success, they were baseball's version of Leaf fans.

Is it me or does Celine look like she also has a microphone somewhere else in that picture?

The only thing that prevents me from killing myself at the thought of Celine Dion owning the Habs is that she might bring in Pierre Lacroix. Thanks for giving me some hope Boston Globe.

Lacroix as president and GM, and Patrick Roy as coach. Let the rumours begin!

Comical statement coming from the Boston Globe, I guess the sports department has never been to a Sawx game? Talk about comical support bordering on farcical....

As an aside, I'm surprised none of the haters have come in with a "Titanic" crack. You know I would have had it not been the Habs we're talking about. ;)

I guess this is a good example of the Boston Globe "hating in others what you see in yourself."

This is just what Canadiens fans need to bring them into the 21st Century.

no the sox had some good teams back in the days so did the leafs but the lately post locket leafs just sucked

There is absolutely no way that Lacroix leaves Colorado. Even when he retires, he won't leave here.
