News Article: Bergevin Speaks to NHL network

[habsfan909]

man this guy is just such a diarrhea head

sad truth is if he really wants to win he only has to fire himself

 

[habsfan909]

I would like to hear his plan about how we can get rid of Alzner's contract... that would be some insight right there.

I would like to hear his plan about how we can get rid of Alzner's contract... that would be some insight right there.

The guy thinks Morgan Reilly is a better defenseman than either Markov or Subban.

He probably thinks Lolzner is very good.

"I don't want to blame injuries, but I'm going to blame injuries"

He is 100 % blaming injuries and using Ott and Chi as examples of how hard the league is .
Then he will say C's are never traded when a few were traded this year and when someone tells him he will say " you and I have a different view of what a C is "

If he can get rid of that contract, without retention, he should win GM of the Year.

I am both excited for the amount of cap we have next year and terrified at the thought of what MB will do with it lol
Its a weird feeling .

With Plecks’ $6M off the hook and with $8M safely stored away, that’s $14M plus the cap going up by $3M, he has $17M to play with.

My optician warned me that deep rims cuts down on my peripheral vision.

Prices contract eats into that and Danaults extension .

That will be a fascinating negotiation lol Danault holds ALL the cards except he is a RFA . I really hope MB does not feel that he needs to pay him 4+ mil .

 

[WickedPegJets]

Does anyone have videos of him talking about his plan 6 years ago when he got hired? I swear it’s the same plan.

Bergy sold management consultant Serge Savard a bogus bill of goods six years ago.

 

[WickedPegJets]

"I don't want to blame injuries, but I'm going to blame injuries"

Geoff Molson kept saying to the media that despite everything that went wrong, you cannot blame it all on one man.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Actually it doesn't say much.

I think you read what I wrote wrong. Doing worse than Bergevin takes effort.

Also to the Gr8 Dane: I'm just bantering I'm not trying to be insulting, Bergevin is terrible and arrogant I feel you

 

[habsfan909]

I mean not really... he would just be back to even. +1 for getting rid of it but -1 for being the jack*** to offer it.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Can’t stand Bergevin, you can tell he’s so full of himself.

Gainey made some awful deals but at least he was a likeable guy

 

[Kriss E]

I find it hilarious to have him say "build through the draft" consistently even after the Shaw debacle.

Bottom line is he has been here for 6 years now and he hasn't built anything.

I don't know how he even feels confident enough that he can say this. It's been 6 years, how are your press points the same as they were in year 1?
I mean, even if your boss has full confident in you and your job is secured, don't you have a bit of personal standards and realize you should probably change your speech?..I mean come on.
I think I'd prefer a lie at this point.

 

[Pickles]

When be opens his mouth he removes all doubt. What an unbelievable moron. Same old tired cliches and excuses.

 

[Frozenice]

As long as you were not dropped on your head, when you were little, then you could do a bedder job than Bergevin...not tough at all. He, and his what, grade 10-11 education, to go with his clown boy personality, are not really anything that should be near a team in the NHL, but the franco media says, we need a guy like dat, so here we are...sad.

Lol, no.

There's maybe a half a dozen posters here who could do a better job then MB and another half a dozen who are smart enough to hire really competent people and let them make the decisions. I'm not a fan of MB but I've seen how bad a lot of decisions that were 'pure genius' around here at the time turned out to be not so brilliant as time went by.

Truth. I think there's a case to be made here that he might be the dumbest GM in the history of the league. Not that I'm a fan at all, but Mike Millbury comes across like a rocket scientist compared to Bergevin.

The cliches are the worst.

You want loyalty, buy a dog.

Youth, Speed and Character...a lot of Character!

 

[LaP]

King, Hemsky, Flynn, Ott

It's extraordinary that you don't even need to add anything more than the names. That's how bad the last year and a half has been. Could add Froese, Martinsen and L. Shaw to this list.

I don't even listen to his interviews anymore. When i did it was like i was living in an alternate reality. The guys was saying a bunch of nonsense and no journalists was challenging him. It was too much and i just stopped listening to him. I'm not gonna watch this video since i know it's gonna be a waste of time and bad for my sanity. Usually i'm the type of curious guy who can't resist to watch anything that could be interesting. MB killed this in me

 

[PuckSeparator]

Yep, the cliches are actually the trademark of his reign and I know we'll see them pop up here long after he's gone. They really are classic in an unintended kinda way.

Btw, just to be clear, I'm not suggesting MB is worse than Millbury as a GM, just merely commenting on the way he comes across in general when speaks. Hard to have faith in the future of the organization when your GM sounds like he has barely the education necessary to be flipping burgers at Harvey's.

 

[MaxDummy]

Every f***ing team wants to "build from the draft".. Even the Pens who trade alot of picks knows they need an influx of young guys on ELCs to remain competitive.

What a f***ing plan..

 

[Schwang]

I don't give a **** about grammar, all I care about is Detroit losing!!

It’s unbelievable that there are only a handful of points separating the Habs for a top 3 pick, yet those teams just keep on losing.

 

[isthatso]

I don't want to be rude, but I just watched the interview again and it is easy to see how he appeals to some demographics...
