Article also explains why Corey Price looks so burnt out. I guess it's not from playing too much but too much partying & skirt chasing....

kick em out of the league !!! their the two dirtiest players in the league and shouldnt even have been allowed to play. if no one recalls the events, (sergei) before christmas went into the boards after a puck behind leafs top prospect pick Luke schenn, (i watch a lot of leafs games and schenn is by no means a dirty player, he plays with class and dignity and only scraps to protect his teammates that dont have the size to do so {jason blake} and i wont forget to mention hes only just turned 19) as they both went into the boards for the puck they had to turn around the net to go after it and Sergei decided to push out luke schenns skate leaving him unbalanced and heading face first into the boards doing mach 1. and andrei is no better, he is constantly stirring controversy with other players, the past leafs habs game i saw it showed, him in the dressing room with boxing gloves on. he should have been more interested in going and scoring rather than trying to fight. leave that to the goons on the team. these two are among the Rutuu brothers for being the most unclassy, disrepected, and disrespectful players in the game, and shouldnt even be allowed to lace em up for the red and blue anymore.

None of the 3 can organize a defensive-zone breakout or an effective powerplay. How in the hell do you think they're smart enough to organize a racket?

Canadiens beset by rumours, losses

Quote:

One of the suspects arrested in a Montreal police operation targetting organized crime is closely linked with Canadiens' players Andrei and Sergei Kostitsyn, La Presse reports in its Friday edition.

Pasquale Mangiola was arrested last week in Project Axe, a Montreal police investigation of street gangs tied to the Hells Angels.

Mangiola, a 38-year-old Pointe aux Trembles resident, is a close associate of the Kostitsyn brothers and spoke to them often, La Presse says.

The three were often seen together at local bars and restaurants, the French-language newspaper reports.

Canadiens defenceman Roman Hamrlik was also acquainted with Mangiola, La Presse reports.

There were a lot of rumors lastly about a link of 'too much parties' and the defeats of the Habs.
