Post-Game Talk: Press Conference over: Better food coming, bad attitude, Carey Price’s fault & 27 is not a Center

[Bryson]

my earlier prediction.



Did MB cover these points?

Hot damn this reads like a pre-conference cheat sheet! Well done!

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Price knew what he signed up for. Had he been a UFA, I'm positive he doesn't come back.

If we had the option to void his contract, we would.

 

[HOPE]

you didnt answer me last time i quoted you about the comment you made about price and his save % and goal allowed, did you listen to 91,9 that day laraque and gonzalez lol

 

[Omar]

Half the stuff discussed today was completely irrelevant. HOW are you going to solve the on ice problems? HOW!?

 

[sheed36]

Other than the food I wonder what the changes will be that Molson was alluding to if MB allegedly said there would be no changes? Player personnel only and no coaching, scouting, or management changes at either the NHL or AHL level.

 

[Bryson]

Top 3 dumbest GM in the NHL...

Joe Sakic no longer worst GM in the league confirmed.

 

[tooji]

I wonder if we will see a scenario where Montreal wins the lottery and immediately fires the GM. It happened in edmonton.

 

[The Great Weal]

Nope, didn't hear that. What did they say?

 

[Bryson]

Price knew what he signed up for. Had he been a UFA, I'm positive he doesn't come back.

At the end of the day Carey Price is going to go out as a nobody in the NHL. What a waste of a career.

 

[BrendanGallagher11]

Price knew what he signed up for. Had he been a UFA, I'm positive he doesn't come back.

So what do we move price for exactly ?

 

[OldCraig71]

I don't even know if even the most ardent Bergevin defenders can defend him after that presser. For one of the few teams that has communication requirements for its GM, he's awful at communicating.

It's funny though that a language requirement stops a guy like Steve Yzerman from getting the job but Bergevin can't answer questions in either language with any sort of clarity.

I can also only imagine how impressed that Tavares will be in listening to these two morons, I have said many times that we are at such a disadvantage when it comes to the current state of this franchise.

At least we can laugh at this but we are just posters on a message board, ho much of a joke do you think that Bergevin is to 30 other GM's? He is the laughing stock of the league and will get fleeced again this summer.

 

[Laurentide]

I was ready to put my fist through something when I heard MB say that "All teams build from the goalie out". Yeah, sure they do, Marc....in 1973 maybe!

How many thoroughly mediocre goalies have won Cups in the 21st Century? Every year it seems, some nobody who's not fit to tape Carey Price's stick finishes the season with the Cup above his head. So no, Marc. Literally NO teams other than your own builds from the goalie out. Teams that win Cups are teams that can SCORE. They build DOWN THE MIDDLE, not from the goalie.

Bergevin seems to think that had Price and Weber played well and for a full season that this team wouldn't be a dumpster fire. Okay sure, they wouldn't have been as bad as they turned out but they'd have still sucked. They'd have still been a team that can't score to save their lives. They'd still be a goalie-dependent team that had to eke out one goal wins. Sorry, but winning consistently with such a narrow margin for error simply isn't sustainable over the course of 82 games plus another 20 or more in the playoffs. It's just not. Building from the goalie out means you will never contend for anything but a playoff spot which, I guess, is all that our team needs to do in order to keep the owner happy.

Dropping huge coin on a goalie, spending big bucks on cement-footed defensemen like Alzner, and adding "ka-RACK-ter" players like Ott and King at the deadline is how you build a team to win back in the 1990's dead puck era. It's not how you get it done in 2018.

 

[Ozmodiar]

PK Subban has the attitude that Bergevin claims he's looking for.

Good to see Molson will rolling out the 'no stone left unturned' phrase 2 years later. (stones are all still in place, btw)

 

[Captain Mountain]

Joe Sakic no longer worst GM in the league confirmed.

Honestly, Colorado started making better decisions almost immediately after Roy quit.

 

[Tyson]

Nothing will change and every move will not be thought out and will be from a position of weakness. You cannot start to fix this organization until Bergevin and his dinosaurs are shown the door...

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Price knew what he signed up for. Had he been a UFA, I'm positive he doesn't come back.

He took the money, he knew that we would suck, I don't feel bad for him.

 

[Habs Icing]

That's the scariest part of the PC, imo. Molson said we should expect changes in the management... But not the poeple in place... No... Changes in the way they do things.

 

[Andrei79]

Bergevin's plan is to get Subban traded out of Nashville.

Come on, you heard the press conference, its Attitude now.

 

[Runner77]

Thanks to CapSpace for this brilliant collage he posted in the previous thread. I added a few subtitles that pretty much wrote themselves ...

 

[Kimota]

He blame it all on the players.

Not himself for having picked the wrong players.

Man it must be a joy playing for someone like that.

 

[Whitesnake]

For what it is, I repeat, for what it is, this is probably the most disastrous habs press conference I've seen in my life. He could have talked about unicorns and butterflies instead that it would have been better. Attitude? All on Carey? Transparency? Food? Hey no ticket raises? OH my god......

A better fan experience? Hey assholes....bring a better team! Bring a more offensive system!

 

[McGuires Corndog]

If anyone needs a hug I'm here for you.

Points made in the PC:

- Fan experience will be new next season. Food will be better. Tickets price will stay the same

- Team got into the season with a bad attitude, needs to be addressed

- Changes will be made with how the management does things, no one fired yet

- Steve Ott did not meet the expectations (wtf)

Feel free to add points, I'm on my phone in the bus right now.

I have a hard time buying the bolded part, and frankly if it is true, I suspect the team “revolted” at how Radulov and especially Markov we’re cast aside and essentially called dogs in the off season.

Who the hell wants to work for a guy like that?!

 

[Habsfan18]

Guys..if Sylvain Lefebvre, Larry Carriere and JJ Daigneault are back.....

....

 

[BLONG7]

The media are going to have fun with this tonight/tomorrow...
