That was about time. He did some great trades, but Price saved his ass for the last few years.

GLORIOUS DAY

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I think I just creamed my pants.

 

[Whitesnake]

While I was expecting both Timmins and Bergevin...what the heck did Wilson do? lol

 

[ClasslessGuy]

So it's official as per the communication that the GM will need to be bilingual

 

[Draft]

Wow. Doesn't feel real.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I declare November 28, 2021 an official holiday!

 

[Juve]

It took long enough! 10 years too many!

In the letter it says Gorton is Vice-President of Hockey Ops, meaning Molson retains the President of Hockey Ops title?

 

[WhoAreYou99]

Interesting, Geoff Molson is still considered "President" by title. Will he still be involved with the Canadiens at large?

 

[the]

Good riddance, I cannot believe this day has finally happen!! Worst GM in Habs history

 

[MarkJ]

Interesting how they said Gorton has been "retained" to help with the transition. Almost sounds temporary?

probably retained for the day to day GM duties until they find one and then he goes back to VP of hockey ops.

 

[montreal]

of course Molson couldn't step down and is still the f***ing president despite how shitty a job he's done as he let MB run roughshod these years despite some of the worst Hab teams in our history.

Title is misleading. Doesn't appear Jeff Gorton has been hired, only retained. That is a huge difference.

 

[Andrei79]

Can't believe Timmins is also gone. Thought it would be MB first, then TT. Best news this weekend.

 

[dinodebino]

Brightest Day in Habs History.

 

[golffuul]

Glad to see this happen. Was a couple of years overdue.

 

[salbutera]

Gorton “retained” as EVP of Hockey Ops not President…

Translation: Gorton will play the role of the fixer / Winston Wolf for this season…

 

[ReginaHabs]

Awesome. Excited for the future for the first time in a while.
