Claude Julien, Marc Bergevin incredibly Pigheaded

[Fifthgear]

Yesterday was the time to try Galchenyuk at C (Danault not playing). They are really scarred that it could work, that way they won´t need to explain why they haven´t done it before during the season if Galchenyuk should work at C. Galchenyuk was playing better at C whent he played then Drouin. Drouin is more a winger so why not try. What can we lose? When you Google Pigheaded, it should come up with the faces of Claude Julien and Marc Bergevin in top of the list. I´m this close on changing team and i´m 47 with the heart stamped with the CH but can´t accept what is happening this year.

I have given up on trying to understand their usage of Galchenyuk. It does not make the slightest bit of sense. It's just bizarre.
Nothing can justify it at this point.

This organization is ran by backwards thinking dinosaurs.

Just an utter embarrassment to the franchise and the fan base. Disgusting.

I'd love it but he ain't that hot at center now, or yet, for some reasons.. I think he wants to play wings, I read that a while back..

Chucky is getting decent minutes and top linemates.

Lol. Would not be a good idea for an article to pop up quoting him as to how he would prefer centre.

I blame Julien most of all.

I refuse to believe that the GM is the one mandating on ice decisions over the coach. And even if it's true - I still blame Julien. Because he should have the balls to stand up to the GM and say it's his decision.

I do agree with you, Julien is to blame but in this organization, i don´t discard anything.

It doesn't even matter at this point, even if Galchenyuk gets put centre it means **** all for 15 meaningless games.

He had the opportunity to try Galchenyuk at C after Danault originally got hurt (or obviously well before that and switched with Drouin), instead Paul ****ing Byron was tried there.

is CJ not one of the coaches and management that thought and traded Tyler Seguin be ause he could not play centre in Boston?

If he's successful it might lead to him getting the job next season. And more importantly, it will give him more experience at the position. Hopefully that will help when this management team is gone and he gets a shot with the next coach/GM.

Yes but in all due fairness, they had Krejci and Bergeron in Boston. So, I can somewhat understand the logic. But here...we have Danault and a winger who shouldn't play center..Heck, we even had freaking byron there at some point. It's not comparable. I can't think this is coming from Julien. I think this is coming from Bergevin.

No, theres a video on youtube that shows the bruins management discussing and trading Seguin. Julien wasn't there

Chucky is lost defensively! Can you guys stop with the Center thing?

 

[Tyson]

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Why would you not play Scherbak in the top 6 until the end of the year?

Why is Lernout not getting an extended look?

1. Because they want to see him grind?
2. Reilly, Valiev?

Riiiiiiight. But lets be patient with Drouin. I'm so sick of the double standards from fans and management.

Chucky got a lot more games at center than Drouin and he freaking failed! Drouin will get moved to the wing if he keeps sucking it's just a matter of time! Relax...

More than once this season Julien has alluded to using Galchenyuk at center then magically misspoke or was misunderstood the next day. Sorry there is a mandate.

And yes you are correct, Julien doesnt have the nuts to stand up his GM

 

[habsgirl5000]

What can we lose?

bergevin could lose the small bit of credibility he has left if chucky plays well at center.....so MB cant take that chance,

i think that is MBs call.....i think CJ WOULD play him at center

What does Reilly and Valiev have to do with giving Lernout a look?

They should just both be at wing with real centers. Bergevin needs to come up with Tavares and I would be pretty happy if he landed Stastny too.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Lol

 

[Hansman]

It is utterly mind-boggling WHY not even an attempt is made to put Chucky at Center.To me its like dealing with someone who has an addiction that does not see nor hear outside of their own box.

 

[Belial]

Well they clearly value those guys more...

Sure, would be great but it's easier said than done...

LOL Chuck never got A WHOLE SEASON. NOT ONE TIME!!!!! And he was soooooooooooooooooo much better at center than Drouin. MILES better. But keep on keepin on with your bullshit.
