News Article: Habs talking to public health to have fans in the building for the PO

[Non Player Canadiens]

you mean 2x

wouldn't put it past Mol$on to sell tickets to watch it on the jumbotron for away games

(but touché)

 

[MasterD]

Just BBQ on your deck with your parents. No one is stopping you.

Fact is, that could cost us 6000$ in fines. Unacceptable to have that rule if people can go eat popcorn in the Bell Centre while watching hockey.

until the neighbors call the cops and it turns a nice afternoon into a 1500$ fine

Yup. Per person.

 

[Tyson]

so, around 4000-5000 fans......this would be great.

Some NHL arenas in the US will have 50% capacity. It will be fun to see screaming fans in the seats

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Playoffs vs leafs with limited seating?

Tickets would be $1,000,000 each

 

[BLONG7]

Playoffs vs leafs with limited seating?

Tickets would be $1,000,000 each

Big Geoff would never do that to the fans.................700 would be fine...

 

[ChesterNimitz]

I would think the team's management may well regret a full house if the team, as is expected, gets humiliated by the Leafs. Better to lose ignominiously in silence. Then they can just skulk out of town.

 

[Hullois]

Man do you guys have to make every thread about Bergevin lol

Also all of you saying you'll never spend a dime on this team will be the first ones in line to buy tickets if Montréal wins the first game...

 

[Yoor]

until the neighbors call the cops and it turns a nice afternoon into a 1500$ fine

Ah man nice neighbours you got there. Sorry to hear that.

 

[knuck]

Ah man nice neighbours you got there. Sorry to hear that.

Nah i'm just putting that out there because I'm cynical. It hasn't happened to me

 

[FF de Mars]

I just hope they sell those tickets to season holders. Imagine if Leafs fans bought all the seats in our own house and cheered against the Habs at the Bell Center.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Whos worse ? I will wait. Chayka had a decent case but he's not there anymore.

Benning. But, Bergevin is in the top 5 for bad.

Season tickets holders will sell them to Leafs fans lol

 

[Habs Halifax]

It's hard to make the change, so many years of rinse and repeat.....he did however, have a pretty good offseason last summer, but it seems his philosophy is deeply flawed...

The next level of concern is can he take us to the next level by getting a hair cut. Both on top of his head and with some vets on the roster. We need to draft a star somehow. How we do that is with draft power. If we move up to 15-20 range in the draft moving forward, it's not easy.

My eyes are on Weber and Price this playoffs. My direction would depend on how they perform

 

[Habs Halifax]

Benning. But, Bergevin is in the top 5 for bad.

There is no way in hell Bergevin is bottom 5 GM today. Anderson for Domi and Toffoli signing are two examples. Stock piled picks and has inserted a strong young group. That don't indicate bottom 5. Sorry

He's not a genius GM yeah but it's not 2017 anymore.

 

[Mrb1p]

Benning. But, Bergevin is in the top 5 for bad.

I mean, Benning has made bad moves, but he has the minimum IQ required to decide on a direction. He built a team that will compete from 2022 to 2030, not a team that will never compete.

He's not a perfect GM and the Toffoli thing was an oversight for sure, but he built a future contender.
Loui Eriksson was a bad signing.
Myers was a bad signing.

Letting go Markstrom ? Who cares when you have Demko, thats actually a good move IMO.
Drafting ? Stellar.
Development ? Stellar.


I would take Benning twenty times before Bergevin, and I would trade the Canucks roster for the Habs roster any time.

Find me 5 gms that are worse then. Go, do it.

 

[Habs13]

...so the stupid bullshit curfew is getting lifted so Molson can screw fans desperate for a taste of any kind of normalcy with his terrible team for crazy prices? I'm out.

 

[Habs13]

Heck, name two... name one!

Domi and Anderson tied in points....... Anderson has done nothing in most games........playoffs could change my mind on him though we'll have to see....I'd call it a wash so far.........Toffoli I''ll give ya......Bergevin is still bottom 5 though and nothing will change there sorry

Half the GM have only 2 seasons under their belt, too early to judge. Of the remaining 15-17, some debatable

Bennings
Treliving
Kekalainen (keeping Torts)
Dorion
Bob Murray in the last few years
Stan Bowman holding to the core too long and hampering the rebuild

Stan Bowman won 3 cups. He really only held to his four best players, Toews, Kane, Hossa and Keith. Seabrooks play fell off because of injuries. He dealt away Hammer, Buff, Sharp, Anisimov, Lehner, Gustaffson, Perlini, Jokijahrju, got a first rounder for Hartman.. Hes actually one of the best out there when you look at things. Come on, thats ridiculous.

Dorion built a f***ing contender in a matter of weeks ??? He chose to suck for 2-3 years and now look at him.. Stutzle, Tkachuk, Sanderson, Norris, Pinto, etc. Another ridiculous one.

Kekalainen decided to go for it in 2018. He knew Panarin didn't want to be there, he knew Bob didn't want to be there. That was a bad decision, in hindsight. Can you blame him though? He chose a direction, belived in his group and stuck with it. Torts needs to leave but Im sure he's stayed there because of his salary, not because Kekalainen wants it. Another ridiculous one imo.

Bob Murray chose a direction too. Decided to suck for two-three years, bought out Perry, got a first rounder for Ondrej Kase (Perrault), got a first rounder for Montour (Tracey).. Again. Direction. He chose one, he stuck with it. The team will be better off for it. Perry wanted to move on, he let him go, Getzlaf wanted to stay, he stayed. Another ridiculous comparison.

Benning is a bad GM but he's nowhere near as bad as Bergevin. He actually built a team that could contend. Strong Cs, strong Ws, strong G, 21 yo #1D... Just missing pieces around this and experience.

Treliving is in contention with Bergevin for sure.


You seem to equate "bad" teams with bad GMing, such a simplistic way of seeing things.

 

[domiwroze]

Jason Botteril is worse than MB but at leeast Buffalo's owner had the brain to fire him within 3years.

Ummm.... yeah nah.

Anderson has been the best Hab player all season long.

Domi has assists... Anderson's points are mostly goals.

 

[widowmaker]

Ummm.... yeah nah.

Anderson has been the best Hab player all season long.

Domi has assists... Anderson's points are mostly goals.

. Best player hmmm.....let's see... 24 points......nothing in like 15 games.....nothing in like 35 games outta 50sum total......-10......if that's the stats of the best hab all season long it explains why they're so shitty..........let's hope he's actually a playoff performer or else the trade has been a total wash

They are shitty.

But if you actually watched the circus sideshow, like I unfortunately did, you would have seen that the most consistent player shift to shift, who played hard every moment he was on the ice... was, in fact, Josh Anderson.
