Contest Article 2 - Patience, the Only Virtue
We asked if you wanted to join Nick Murdocco and myself on the #SundayShinny segment of The Franchise, and you responded! After going through the numerous entries, we decided to break it down to a one on one battle...mano-e-mano...duel at high noon...you get the point.
Our second article comes from a young man by the name of Carlos Candido who goes by "MTLSportsCC " on Twitter. He preaches calmness and patience, virtues not shared by many Habs fans. But if you think it is something the organization should aspire to, then make sure to click "LIKE" on The Franchise Facebook Fanpage link, because that is the only way he can win. Contest ends May 31st, 2012 at 11pm. The post with the most likes on the Franchise Facebook Fanpage wins.

How I Would Fix This Team This Summer
No offence directed towards Marc Bergevin, but with the wave of incompetence that has swept over the Montreal Canadiens over the past decade I am left feeling the way every Habs fan feels, that I am the only one intelligent enough to fix this organization. Lucky for me, this is actually true. It is my belief that if I was given the chance, despite my massive lack of any hockey related credentials, I could actually exercise the moronic daemons of GM’s passed.
