Habster:
It certainly doesn’t sound like Vinny is pouring any cold water on the idea of being trade to the Habs, does it??
Excerpts from the TSN article:
But the scene that greeted Lecavalier’s arrival at Trudeau International Airport still came as a surprise.
“When I walked through those doors and saw the hundreds of people there for autographs and waiting for the players arrive – my hair was all over the place, and I really didn’t expect to have it,” he said Friday. “I don’t think anybody expected to have a welcome like that.”
Just imagine what would happen if he was ever actually traded to the Habs.
Later in the TSN article:
The only expectation Lecavalier has about the situation is that he’ll be notified before any deal is made. If that ends up happening before the March 4 trade deadline, he seems pretty warm to the idea of joining the Habs.
“I grew up here,” said Lecavalier. “I’ve always loved the Montreal Canadiens. It’s a great organization, it’s a great town. My family’s from here, I’ve got a lot of friends here.
“I’ve always said … it would be a dream place to come and play for.”
“To be getting dressed in the Canadiens room is something I always wanted to see,” he said in French.
