Mix of 2 and 5, i hate the whole staff, from the bottom to the top, Theres a huge missing piece between Molson and bergevin. I don’t like bergevin said since day one, he had a free pass from riding a gifted organisation where he has 0 credit for. I hate with passion his ego and think he doesn’t have the Skills to scout players to build a team. Lefebvre, nothing to say here... he needed to be goneva long time ago and i surely think its his last season and it will be announced at the end of the season to not distract the team. Timmins... honestely i give the guy the benefit of the doubt, he was never realy put in good drafting position of course mccarron, tinordi, leblanc are awful pick but we don’t know who has the final word and we still haven’t lost a huge player from drafting these guys, so far i feel like Timmins is realy good at reading Dman but Im still skeptical in his ability to read forward well. The time he had low picks he always did great... price, sergachev, galchenyuk ( theres not much better player, yes forsberg, but Galchenyuk still had abilities to play Center at the time and he was the right pick, some say he would have gone 1st overall if it wasn’t from his knee injury. Claude julien... i don’t hate him but i realy don’t like him either, we’ve been playing the same style of hockey since i an remember, we keep recycling the same old wood, in my opinion it was time from a fresh new era and a more offensive oriented younger coach, who? I have no clue but language barrier shouldn’t be an issue.
So yeah 2 and 5 because i have montreal is still my team, hate the staff, i accepted this team was bad a long time ago, but i still watch them, only difference right now is the wierd feeling of being happy when we get scored and lose but still happy when i see our young players play good, score, make nice play, but only on a score deficit. I accept this team losing and drafting legit players for the years to come if its what it takes to win a cup fron my living as an adult or even watch fun hockey and be decent team.
Bergevin herited from a prime young subban, prime plek, prime markov, prime pacioretty, young gallagher, young galchenyuk. He decided to build his own way and part ways instead of appreciating this decent core and do what it takes to fill the needs around it and its where he failed.
