GDT: Game 55: Montreal Canadiens vs Edmonton Oilers 5/10/21 7:00pm EST TSN2, RDS, TSN 690

[Tyson]

Yeah maybe you should secure a playoff spot first

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

2 forwards from the current lineup will sit.

...and we all know it'll be two out of Lehkonen, Evans, and Kotkaniemi...more's the pity...

Renaud Lavoie with the expert perspective:

Marc Bergevin doit rester - TVA Sports

My sides can only take so much

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

...and we all know it'll be two out of Lehkonen, Evans, and Kotkaniemi...more's the pity...

''confident''

seems like they are preparing excuses.
and french media already on bergevin case for extension

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

They better not sit Cole when everyone’s healthy IF and that’s a big IF they even make the playoffs. He’s created more scoring chances already in his short time than Byron has all year

 

[HabsRenegade]

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised that the Habs go 0-2 and Flames go 4-0.

Just imagine.. IMAGINE if the articles coming out if it was Mark Burgervan the Anglo GM bumbling into year 10.

And CC

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

And CC

If Cole sits, Dum Dom needs to be canned immediately...or:

 

[Tyson]

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised that the Habs go 0-2 and Flames go 4-0.

And I truly would not care. Another horribly assembled team by a GM who has no clue.

Bergevin reminds me if that Vietnam vet mail room worker on Seinfeld who clearly doesn't know what he is doing but keeps getting promoted

 

[Tyson]

Only a Geoff Molson owned team does a GM get to hire and fire this many coaches.

Sather, McPhee (Caps), Wilson (SJS), Murray (Ana), Edm, Treliving (Cgy)

You forgot Caufield

Does this guy live in the same universe as the rest of us? My god it hurts knowing people like this exist in the world.

Imagine you are Geoff Molson for a second and you talk to Bergevin about the future and you look at his resume.
.
Missed playoff 2017-2018
Missed playoff 2018-2019
Missed playoffs 2019-2020 (were about to finish bottom 5 in the league before covid)
2020-2021 barely holding 4th spot in a 7 teams division and you are 6 games under .500.

Then you start looking at the defensive squad
...Petry is doing fine .... Romanov doing ok for his first nhl season.

Then you look at the drafted players from ur GM and Pro scout in the last decade in the team.
Romanov.... okay
Caufield .... looks good
Kotkaniemi .... hmmm

Spent me 106m US this offseason to barely make a covid playoff.

Then what is you decision as Geoff Molson?
Geoff Molson himself thinks he's worth an extension. Does anybody in this forum being Geoff Molson for this meeting what you tell Bergevin and his pro scout?

 

[austin316]

Save yourself the pain and don't even watch. Edmonton will toy with us. Chalk up another L.

 

[jakobsbror]

Let’s get this done boys! We’ve got a leaf party to crash!

 

[1909]

I don't feel like Habs gonna win. They must, but they won't.

I would not be surprised if we have to wait to the very last game between Vancouver and Calgary to know if Habs are making Playoffs or not.

 

[Runner77]

One, just one, ONE ...

 

[WayneMessier]

That lineup doesn't have a Quebecer in there...does Dum Dom dare do this??...what will the Media say??...what will Molson say after the inevitable backlash that follows??...

Good grief, is this an actual thing? Brutal, and who cares...definitely no one outside of Quebec.

 

[ole ole]

They better concentrate on first making the playoffs. This could go bad real quick.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Hopefully it leads Molson, who absolutely hates Media shyteshows, to be pissed enough at Bargain Bin and Dum Dom to fire them both...wishful thinking, I know...

Yup. Thinking the same. MB gets fired over this rather than his shit teams.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Not feeling confident
McDavid on absolute fire, and we don't have Danault to counter him

 

[HabsForHire]

For the love of god get cole off that old man line

 

[26Mats]

Mam would I love to see us lose to the Oilers in the next two games and the Flames to beat the Canucks 4 straight. If the Flames lose 1 point to the Jets, they'll be out and have nothing to play for.
