Molson reactions were the best "Man this guy beside me is an inbred moron".
The knives are starting to come out more and more. I honestly believe Bergevin would've been fired by now if he didn't get that long extension. Molson knows it's a sunk cost and has to deal with it for at least another year.
If not firing your GM means another wasted year, is it worth it? Plus all the moves he may make that moves the ball back even further.
Montreal media yesterday be like...
What's so... curious to me is how it feels like everyone who defends Bergevin (or in a few of their cases, just claims everyone focuses too much on Bergevin) also dislikes Carey Price. Maybe I missed it but they all think Price is overrated but Bergevin gets too much blame.
Not to mention, if Molson just cared about seat filling and making the POs, Bergevin provided Molson with what...3 home games in POs? And a Bell center that looks filled with empty seats and booing fans.If not firing your GM means another wasted year, is it worth it? Plus all the moves he may make that takess the ball back even further.
I'd consider reassigning him to scouting (he'd be an expensive scout, I concur) and try and get another team to take him on, maybe the Hawks.
Of course, it's all too easy for us, it's not our money. However, if you're playing at Molson's level, there are a lot of levers you can play with, in order to cushion the blows, which leads me to believe it's not just money that's keeping Bergevin in place.
There's something weird about all that cap space and not signing Markov and Radulov. It's like they wanted to tank but didn't tell anyone. Things wouldn't have looked much different if they went all tank so...

Then why sign Alzner to that crazy deal? If you really want to tank, you go for short term deals on guys you can trade for futures. And why insist on NOT playing Galchenyuk at center? None of that makes any sense. Bergevin wasn't trying to tank. He just sucks.
Seriously, this team is exactly what Bergevin thought was a winning team. Vets, character, good without the puck. That guy doesn't value skill and speed. Simple as that.
Molson didn't look much smarter, first his answers were complete stupidity, second and most importantly because he's sticking with this inbred moron and finally because his answer to next year is improving the experience at the Bell, you wont need to improve an experience for non existing fans Geoff, focus on the product not the delivery.
Agreed, trying to make Bergevin seem like a puppet master that wanted exactly the results we got this season is just crazy.Then why sign Alzner to that crazy deal?

Is it ironic, that MB speaks about character and attitude, and he has no character himself, and is over the top arrogant, dripping with attitude. Blames everyone else, and expects us to look past his mistakes...
Clown.
Hahaha maybe. That is the secret plan?!?
They save on cap space to make money like they made the playoffs and “reset” the team without losing a penny.
lol
They were pretty upset to only have him for 7 minutes. I think he cut the supposed time of interview in half, which is ironic given they just made it their point to be more transparent..lollHe was on the Mitch Melnick show yesterday for like 7 minutes. It was a hoot. Basically, he kept saying the buck stopped with him but when they got down to brass tacks & brought up his mistakes he would get defensive and make excuses to justify his move or challenge them to show him what he did wrong. In other words MB's admission that the responsibility lies with him is a charade. He doesn't believe it. It's what PR told him to say but his monstrous ego can't accept constructive criticism. And that's why I think the Habs this upcoming year are going to be even worse. The Idiot doesn't believe any of this is his fault. He 100% knows that it's on the player's and their "bad" attitude. This team is going to finish 31st next year and it ain't even going to be close. The Habs will break all sorts of records when it comes to ineptitude (NOT ATTITUDE)

Promise? You want a promise? Why is that what you're looking forward to?Is that a promise?
Not to mention - be proactive about acquiring one.They were pretty upset to only have him for 7 minutes. I think he cut the supposed time of interview in half, which is ironic given they just made it their point to be more transparent..loll
When Gallo brought up Staal as a center and he started throwing it out his obviously prepared answer, I wish Melnyck would have followed up saying isn't it your job?
Sure, it's tough to get a center and you can't always predict who will bounce back, but when you've been in need of a center for 7 years, you can't miss anymore.
