Geoff Molson - Eh What's Up Doc Edition

[MaxDummy]

This is a new one, anything to deflect blame from MB and company amirite?

That's JAPPO specialty

 

[BLONG7]

George N. Gillett Jr .

I blame him for everything because he's the one that sells his team to Molson . He's also the one who wanted Gainey to manage the team .

The Gillete days, with BG in charge...back when we made the playoffs, boy those were the days!! Most wish Gillette had kept the team, we would have had a Cup by now...at the very least clowns like Therrien and Bergevin would not have been hired...

Apologists, enablers and sycophants, as I've dubbed them in past posts.

There are just no boundaries in this ownership group's overseeing of the management contingent. Any GM would have been fired following the disastrous 2017-18 season. Geoff, speaking on behalf of the ownership group, pontificated high and wide about how no stone would be left unturned, how there needed to be wholesale changes and how the then situation was unacceptable.

With all these feel-good speeches Geoff gave as the 2017-18 was winding down, what was his first post-season announcement? Confirming Bergevin would still be the GM. His second move? Digging further into the absurdity that while the season and everything about it was "unacceptable", Geoff announced that ownership announced that continuing with the individual who was responsible for the decisions that led to the disastrous result, was acceptable.

Luckily, Bergevin had the best off season of his tenure in 2018. But, that could have easily gone the other way as there was no indication based on his past record, that he might have been able to implement viable corrective measures and results within such a short timespan.

How clueless is Geoff? Sits next to his GM at the year end presser following the worst or one of the worst seasons in Habs's history and instead of dealing head on with the elephant in the room, his prepared speech was about improving the patrons's food experience at the BC. Priorities, shpariorities.

The only hope we have of molson stepping down is after he finally gets ride of bargainbin.Not a fan of Boston but one has to respect the fact that when they had issues they addressed them very quickly.

They won’t need to if they hire Kavis Reed as a special consultant.

 

[BLONG7]

Will they spend to the cap? They tried, and tried hard!! lol

A$$-clowns!! They don't have a clue between them...

Such intelligent talk of late...

He knows as much if not significantly more than anyone on these boards.

Easy there Marc, we know he pays for your fancy purple pants but instead of you scouring hockey forums to defend him, focus on fixing the team. The bashing will then stop on its own.

Sincerely,
Habs fans.

What do you expect when you have a high school dropout and a spoiled rich kid running our beloved franchise into the ground? It’s hard to wax poetic or be anything other than bitterly disappointed/frustrated at this point.

As a season ticket holder, the first question of the video was infuriating. Now he'll be able to say "Oh we spent money we only have 4M in cap space". You f***ing spent it on Ben Chiarot and Kinkaid SMH. Bad owner.

Both were much needed additions. What's frustrating is not acquiring elite talent yet.

If you are a season ticket holder, as i am, and THAT is what infuriates you, you're buying tickets to the wrong sport.

Not sure why you’re asking me to focus on fixing the team when no one here does that

"Let's spend so much in PR that's we'll calm down the fans before another ordinary season."

So you're saying you are Bergevin?

If so, I have questions!

« Anyone who doesn’t fully support my criticism must be Bergevin »

I’m sure your questions are brilliant, may as well shoot

Your sense of humour is on life support it seems. Lighten up man, it was a joke.

I don't know... Bob Gainey made his share of questionable moves and I think the later year or two of his tenure were less than sunny. Scott Gomez comes to mind, of course.

True, but for the most part, we were a playoff team trending in the right direction, with a plan........unlike now. BG did not have near as much rope as the clown Bergevin either. Anyhow, apathy continues to set in for most habs fans...

Apathy... actually i have been wondering (especially not living in Mtl anymore) - how big is the passion and interest in Habs from the younger crowd... millenials? A lot of folks over certain age still hold memories of past glory and perhaps that still keeps them attached to the team. But the younglings that were born after 1993... they wouldn't have seen anything other the lack of competence from every level of organization and not even once within a sniff of contending for the cup. And none is coming in the near future either. So what is there for them to be exited about?

Molson should sell the Team for all Habs Fan
Too bad the Building is packed and brings alot of $$$$$

Translation:

I'm excited for the next three to eight years. With our current group and all the newcomers, I believe we'll have a good team. Anything can happen. Injuries can happen, but we will have a good team.

 

[the]

Anything can happen...I’ll settle for that

 

[OldCraig71]

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm not exactly doing cartwheels when I read that Molson is excited about the habs. What does he mean by that? Surely he must be referring to season ticket sales and general team revenues. "Anything can happen"? He skipped the playoff part of his boyfriend's infamous quote. I am so tired of these clowns that I have to go take a nap.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Yes! Very reassuring to hear that!

Now I can look forward to the season!
