You heard it here first.
Fact: Yesterday Bob Gainey gave Guy Carbonneau a "Vote of Extreme Confidence" as the Montreal media have been whipping his ass because they aren't in first place. In Montreal, the scrutiny is as extreme for the Habs as it is for the Cowboys here.
Fact: Habs fire Guy Carbonneau today at 4pm CST.
Fact: Bob Gainey to take over the bench in Montreal. Former Stars personnel Doug Jarvis and Kirk Muller keep their jobs as Habs leiutenants.
Fact: You won't find two closer guys in all of hockey than Gainey and Carbonneau
Fact: Gainey and Carbonneau are extremely closely connected to the Dallas Stars, having brought Tom Hicks a championship along with current Stars Co-GM Brett Hull. Not to mention that Guy's daughter is married to Stars' captain Brendan Morrow.
Fact: The Montreal plane took off from Dallas at 3pm today, when the normally they would have flown straight home at the end of a road trip. Apparently many of the Habs players were pretty ticked.
Fact : Dave Tippett is S-T-R-U-G-G-L-I-N-G
OK, enough facts, here's some wild assed speculation.
Maybe Gainey and Carby were negotiating a coup and aligning the Stars (pun intended) for an injection of some good old fashioned nepotism.
I predict that within 48 hours the Dallas Stars will name Carbonneau the new head coach.

weeeell, 48 hours have come and gone. I have yet to hear any breaking news, but then again I live under a rock.
I sure hope that Carbo is with the Stars at some point, and soon. He would be a valuable asset to the Stars in any position ( although I hear he prefers reverse cowgirl ).
The only opposition to the move could comw from within his own family and it may come from young mister Morrow. He would need to be on his best behavior as far as the treatment of Carbo's daughter. I somehow suspect that if Guy got even one word of mistreatment, even at his age, he could still hold his own, even against Morrow....
