TSN 690 & Other Montreal sports media Thread V

[lo striver]

Guys don't fall asleep on this especially if you speak french. This was a quality roast. Honestly if the french media are starting to turn on Bergevin, his days are numbered.

Did anyone happen to catch Marc Dumont on TSN690 today? Which UFA's did he say that the Habs should target? Anyone we haven't already heard about?

I know, but I can't listen to it at work. The headlines only hint at what was said.

I was done with Marinaro after he embarrassed all of Montreal with that dance he did on Regis and Kelly minus Regis.

I can't listen to the audio but I see Tony had a segment on how easy it is to build a contender and used the jets as an example? I hope he realizes that some of the core pieces like Buffy, Enstrom and Wheeler were acquired back when they were the Thrashers and Scheifele, their number 1 center was drafted 7 years ago.

I hope he realizes that some of the core pieces like Buffy, Enstrom and Wheeler were acquired back when they were the Thrashers and Scheifele, their number 1 center was drafted 7 years ago.

Tony doesn't write the headlines and I find that a lot of the headlines on that site don't accurately reflect what you hear on the audio. They'll put a headline above a clip to drive web clicks so if McGuire is on for 15 minutes and mentions something Habs-related for only 45 seconds, the Habs-related bit is what will be in the headline. You click on it thinking you're going to hear something insightful and it winds up being nothing more than a passing remark or two.

I don't think it's "easy" to build what the Jets have built but the formula is easy enough to understand: accept the fact that your team sucks, embrace the suck for 5 or so years (which means resisting the temptation to add enough veteran help that will only get you into a playoff spot but nothing more) stockpile top 10 picks and then add vets when your core matures and is ready to truly contend for the big prize. An easy formula but one that requires more patience than owners, GM's or fans in most hardcore markets like Montreal possess.

And even if you do everything right there's still no guarantees because you have to draft the right players. If your scouts suck or if you have a GM addicted to intangibles like "attitude" you miss out on drafting players who can move the needle and wind up with a team of Shaw's and Byron's instead. You also can't count on being able to attract quality vets when the time comes. Stastny waived his NTC to join Winnipeg but would the Habs ever be that lucky? Because for all the really good players the Jets have grown on their own like Scheifele, Trouba or Laine, they wouldn't have got far without the likes of Stastny and Byfuglien.
