Not unexpected, but still a kick in the junk...

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod Told the Canadiens have unofficially released Scott Gomez, sending him home.

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod
Montreal will buy out Scott Gomez's contract this summer. He will not play for the team this season.

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod Gomez will NOT be playing in the AHL this season; he will not be playing anywhere until his contract is bought out this summer

Tim Thomas told Chiarelli via his agent that he wants to play next season. For now he's suspended.

Boston Bruins ‏@NHLBruins
Chiarelli on Tim Thomas: "We'll end up suspending him… He will be on our cap unless I trade him"^CS

Not that I dislike the guy (BOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH), but seriously, just keep him for good or move on. Shuffling the guy back and forth can't be good for anyone's confidence in him. This is his third time with us.

I know nothing about Alt or Pither. I like having Dmen though. Ours kinda suck.

Will Scott Gomez score this year?

Will Scott Gomez score this year?

Succinct and to the point. I like it.

Getting paid not to play hockey, I wish I could get that gig - Good work Scott Gomez.

Suddenly, the "entitled to your own room" rule makes sense.

I would have taken Boucher, provided someone is dumb enough to take Mason. He's steady, and from what I hear a really good guy.
