Oh yeah, and lest I forget to mention it, it looks like Patrice “Paris” Brisebois’s career as a Hab is history.
The Canadiens have declined the team option on his contract, cutting him loose as a free agent. While he’s free to re-sign with the team for a lower salary, the possibility of him actually doing so is slim to none.
This is definitely the week’s best news. Brisebois might have been the last remaining member of the 1993 Cup-winning team, but that’s the sort of trivia tidbit that makes most people stop and say “Why??????”. After all, he gave a whole new definition to the term “costly mistake” – over and over and over again.
Buh-bye Brisebois. Don’t let the puck hit ya on your way out.
