This is how MB should start his end of season PC..
Thanks for coming out everyone. First I'd like to say I'm terrible at my job and I'm in way over my head and really have no idea I'm doing. Even though we're very disappointed by our season we're gonna work hard to make this team better. I have a plan but I just can't tell you what it is but you'll see. (Insert arrogant grin)
I know the fans are very disappointed with the team this past season but thankfully I have the full support and confidence of my very good buddy Geoff who said he still believes I can fix this huge disaster I've created.
Truthfully though I doubt Geoff still believes I can fix this team and the only reason I'm not fired is because I have too many years and too much money left on my contract. Everyone knows it so I may as well just say it.
With all that out of the way it's very hard to win in this league when you have injuries to players like Shea and Carey who are impossible to replace in the line up...
Insert BS... Character... More BS... Injuries... Yet even more BS... Build through the draft... Something about top centers... More BS until PC ends..
Anyway thanks for coming out and we'll see you all next season.

In what other job can you:
get hired without any prior direct experience
fail at it for 5 yrs and still keep your job
hire your buddies as you wish
have your boss have your back no matter how incompetant
one of the major reason your in that position
is you speak a certain language ( eventhough its not really needed)
provide the same excuses yr after yr
trade away your most popular player in years

The season will be retrofitted into an overarching plan.
1) Could have fixed it at any time between October and the TDL, but opted not to.
2) Kids from Laval got experience for the future. We are on the right track.
3) The right peoples are in place. Stability is key. The usual inertia fallacy.
4) Injuries.
5) After a "thorough analysis" (read: shallow reasoning.) of point #1, #2, #3 and #4, they reached the conclusion it was the right time to take a step back to make a leap forward.
6) The "plan" can only be discussed internally; Fans are too dumb to understand, other GM are listening. And really, you can't have a Bergevin press conference without at least one appeal to ignorance, "I know stuffs you don't, so don't question what I am doing." is pretty much his signature move.
7) Generic evasive maneuvers about how hard his job is. The Parity & Puck luck platitude and a dozen of piss poor analogies.

Have fun with, one of those drinking games - every time he blames the season on Chucky (or Drouin who might be the new bus speed bump) you do a shot. Mentions Character, that's a shot. Just got to get into the playoffs and anything can happen, yup that's a shot. Trades are hard, there's just no centres available, it's not playstation, blames injuries, lack of confidence, blames Radulov for not resigning, blames Markov for not bowing down to him - you guessed it all shots.
If he blames himself or his staff in Montreal or Laval... who am I kidding with that one

It is, well said. One big joke.
Molson knows nothing about sports, hires a new GM that would of been at best a delivery driver for a random pizzeria in repentigny if it wasn’t for hockey.
The habs give underachievers we dont want to see way too much ice time and those who deserve it are treated like used toilet paper.
It makes it really hard to cheer for a team that looks more after its own interest rather than those of its fans.
Molson really needs to gtfo. Hes really not interested in the team it self.
Its pretty clear that all he wanted was to use the habs as a channel to promote his real estate projects and other stuff hes involved in to.
I mean fair enough its a smart idea but i’m sure all your business’s would do expontially better if the habs were actually competing in the playoffs.
Trading Subban for Weber. How much more clueless can you be?
As long as Molson is here this is not our team

Foggetit. With his reputation for dumpster diving?
He'd work in junk removal if it weren't for hockey.
I predict a lot of pissing on our heads and telling us it's raining is gonna happen.
I just get annoyed with the PCs.
I mean no GM is going to give you details and no GM is going to say I completely dropped the ball. Saying at the last one that he has made mistakes is as good as it gets.
But things like "ideally Drouin is a winger" and when he said he wanted CHaracter , speed and youth , leaving out " skill" really ticked me off. You could say making too much out of nothing but to me that is MB , " skill" being an after thought . I hate this CHaracter garbage as well. Skill players can have pride and character also, and you need skill to win, plenty of it.
Anyway. I expect him to say it was a bad year, and the blame can be spread around to many people, including the players and including himself.
He will say that there was also a lot of good that came out of it. That unfortunately there were many key injuries that also played a significant role in it being a bad season, but this also gave opportunity to young players and he liked what he saw of them. Bodes well for the future.
That he has a plan ( win lotto, pray Tavares signs with us, or alternative Stastny) that he obviously cannot discuss, to get the team competitive for a post season birth.
And there will be some changes.
And a couple of things that will really tick us off.

If Bergevin were a real leader he would acknowledge failure, claim responsibility, state the causes of this failure in detail, discuss what he's learned and give examples of how he plans to improve.
Habs 4 Life
No Excuses
Most probably there will be a press conference as there usually is at season end.
He will not unveil anything, he never did and he certainly will not do that now
He will talk about Chicago having a bad year as well
He will talk about Colorado turning it around this season after a horrible season
He will say he WILL NOT TRADE (insert player) and trade him a couple of weeks later
The rest is all crap as usual and no one gives a flying f*** about him

Okay I need some help filling out the Marc Bergevin press conference bingo card:
- Gets angry at a tough question
- Makes a playstation joke
- Mentions something is hard
- Talks about working the phones hard
- Defends his off-season acquisitions
- Defends decision to not play Galchenyuk at C
- Mentions Tampa Bay, Colorado, NJ or any team that made the play-offs this year that didn't last year
- Mentions St. Louis or Chicago as teams that made it last year who didn't make it this year
- Mentions character but doesn't mention skill as a direction for the team
- Blames injuries
- Throws a player under the bus
- Mentions a plan but does not give any specifics
Anything big I'm missing?
