Gauthier fired by Habs

Pierre Gauthier was dismissed from his duties as general manager of the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday.

According to CBC News Montreal Canadiens owner Geoff Molson has stated that there is a deadline to hire a new general manager.

Molson has not revealed any potential candidates for the GM position, but rumours speculate that Patrick Roy is a potential candidate.

Molson explained that his reason for firing Gauthier was that the Habs did not win enough games under Gauthier`s management.

He also expressed his opinion on how the Habs have to be a winning team in order to keep the fans satisfied.
