Confirmed with Link: Bergevin, Timmins & Paul Wilson Fired & Jeff Gorton Hired As EVP of Hockey Ops

[CheldishGamibno]

yes Timmins, good f***ing riddance. Way to go Molson, you earned my respect a bit more now

 

[Bill McNeal]

Our long national nightmare is over.

I'll enjoy this momentary respite before they go ahead and start making stupid decisions again.

NANANANA NANANANA

HEY HEY HEY

GOODBYE!

 

[The Great Weal]

I wouldnt have been happy if it was just MB. MB AND TIMMINS?? Thank god!

 

[Whitesnake]

Time to acknowledge what both guys did. Wasn't all bad. But it was definately time for a change. Now...get better.

Time for Timmins to show what he can do elsewhere. And he will find a job soon.

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

Geoff is President of Montreal Canadiens - CEO in other words.

 

[Gravity]

This means when a new GM is hired, Gorton is gone and Molson serves as President. We're back to the same thing........

I think yes. But I don't think he has been or will be involved in the hockey decisions, just the business side - aside from hiring Gorton and perhaps working with Gorton to find a GM.

 

[WhoAreYou99]

Geoff Molson probably knows that it would have made a big fuss within the media if the President of the Canadiens was an anglophone, even though in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't have meant much.

But it's progress, let's all just savour it for a while.

 

[CapSpace]

I'm having a "hard" time right now.

 

[austin316]

Renaud clearly can't read a press release. From the official release Gorton move seems temporary. Please re-read it. There is a huge difference between hiring and retaining someone.

 

[Gravity]

Geoff is President of Montreal Canadiens - CEO in other words.

No it distinguishes between both titles. He is labelled as the Owner, President and CEO.

 

[hockeyfan2k18]

OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!
I can finally start following this team again. Molson finally grew some balls.

Edit: maybe not...if Molson is running the show then I'll go back to not watching. Molson is the main problem but he's not going to fire himself.

 

[Andrei79]

Hope Gorton is here long term. Molson is incompetent and the only good French speaking GM candidate is already GM of Tampa.

 

[TheYardMachine]

It finally happened!
Eager to see whats next

Not necessarily. I sure hope not. We'll see.

[wonton15]

Good for you guys!

Hope Benning and co. are next.

 

[Beaker]

Finally. Let the next chapter begin.

 

[MisterDodu]

Not really sure if he is good or bad at his job, but Paul Wilson being fired with the others seems quite weird...

Maybe Molson didn't like that Bergevin was able to take the mic as much as he did this year...

bro....you gonna have 250 likes for this post lol

 

[Big Empty]

There’s a presser at 11 AM tomorrow so we will know more about whether or not Gorton is a long-term hire.

 

[Whitesnake]

Oh and by the way, hopefully, get Martin Lapointe the f*** out of there. Same for Eric Crawford and Nick Carrière. And the overrated Rockstrom.

 

[OnTheRun]

Yep. f*** off Bergy.

Now it's time for my jig.

 

[JianYang]

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

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

Retained makes no sense. Gorton was never an employee. So how can he be retained?
