RDS: The All Encompassing Bergevin Thread: "I know where we are going"

[habsfan909]

If he hasn't been fired by now it isn't going to happen. He would announce an interim if that were the plan and not let him make more trades..

 

[habsterr]

If we insist on keeping MB as GM can we at least hire an excellent president to keep him in line? Lombardi could babysit him for only a few million a year.

 

[HabsDood]

Kiss of death

 

[NobleSix]

I hate this team so much.

 

[admiralcadillac]

I know that's what the poster was trying to say, but the damage Bergevin has done to this franchise is insurmountable and his contract should not be a consideration in how to proceed.

Stop watching then? Do you know what insurmountable means?

I hate this team so much.

Not watching anymore will ease the pain

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Stop watching then? Do you know what insurmountable means?

Yes, I do. The damage he has inflicted is irreversible and we need to burn the whole thing down and start from the beginning.

 

[G0bias]

I didn't hate the Jan Bulis/Karl Dykhuis teams nearly as much as I hate this version.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

When they say reality is stranger than fiction...

...we've had a whole lot of that in the last two years in Habs land

 

[Cole Caulifield]

As Ygritte would say: you know nothing, Reno Snow

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Should have been fired in the summer 2013 at the latest after the debacle of thinking Briere/Murray/Parros would improve the team.

It's 2018 and he's still on the job.

Fired 55ish games after being hired ? That would have been a new record.

 

[THE HOFF]

What does he have to do to get fired? Do a press conference sponsored by Heineken or something?

I laughed because Heineken is distributed by molson. I imagined Geoff walking in going '' wow marc, promoting one of our brands AND being the best gm in the league?! how do you do it ?! nice work ''

MB is trapped, he wants to get fired but geoff won't do it. Its a fresh, modern take at Gilligan's island, turned into a dramatic reality show adapted to sports entertainment. They should copyright that shit.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Yes, I do. The damage he has inflicted is irreversible and we need to burn the whole thing down and start from the beginning.

Which means its reversible

 

[HockeyAddict]

Molson moving closer to the slumlord ownership group along with Eugene Melnyk... I'm starting to be worried we might have a Bill Wirtz or Harold Ballard situation developing.

 

[dinodebino]

BTW, if you listen to Renaud's quote, he starts by saying that Bergevin has Junior's full confidence (yeah, like Junior's quotes about wanting the Nordiques back lol), which means nothing, really. Then he adds that Bergevin is there to stay.

I don't think Junior would have gone that far. It's just Renaud being Renaud.

 

[Genesis76]

Come on, it's Renaud freaking Lavoie.

But if it can make a lot of poeple better, it's the same Renaud Lavoie that said/tweeted that Therrien wasn't going anywhere and that he was still Bergevin's man 2 days before Therrien got fired.....

Bro you gotta post these things faster man.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Well the positive is our GDT's will remain quite entertaining to read

 

[waffledave]

I was at the game tonight. I got tickets as a gift and I went because I hadn't left the house in 3 weeks due to my surgery.

The arena had so many empty seats. But worst of all, it was so quiet. Nobody gave a shit. It was seriously so sad to see. I have not seen the arena like that maybe ever. Even the animator in the fan zone was maybe giving a 10% effort. I wanted to record her "dancing" because it was so f***ing pathetic how little she cares about this game.

 

[Tyson]

The house that Bergy built

 

[sheed36]

If true... it is really really really depressing.

I begin to think that Molson put an internal budget and that is why we are under the cap by 8 millions

The Habs charge high prices for tickets and they increased ticket prices last year so if Molson did do that I would be livid if I were a Habs season ticket holder after paying such high prices.

 

[Genesis76]

Was this not a much much better team?

 

[Gamimenos]

I love how this thread is 3 above "Bergevin shut down by owner". ROFLMAO

TV cameras rarely pan higher than the first 10-12 rows these days so you don't really notice the empty seats while watching on TV. How many empty seats were there in your estimation?

Hopefully your recovery is going well and you're feeling much better.

Did you see the guy behind the penalty box with a paper bag over his head? That's my buddy! lol

Totally agree with this. I listen to Lavoie from time to time on 91.9 and he's constantly seeing great stuff and how good the team is even when losing games and points, keeps focusing on the 'good' points. Totally delusionnal. To me he is not a reliable insider source. To me, he says what he thinks, that MB won't get fired, and he might be right, but that said, it would be pretty stupid at this point to not fire a guy who has played all his hand in a dumpster fire.

There were easily over 1000 empty seats, especially in the reds. It was empty and it was very quiet.

I am doing well, thank you.
