Marc Bergevin: At the End o'da Day

[Runner77]

No worries Marc, someone you gave a ride to, will cover for you.

So Chantale claims that Bergevin invoked an attitude problem with the team cause he was too embarrassed to admit that there is a lack of talent.

This lack of talent has no culprit, it fell from the sky. At the end o'da day.

Yeah... Because implying that your team is full of locker room cancer is so much better (and somehow less embarrassing?!) than lack of talent. Well played Shyboy, well played...

I'm trying to understand this story and the motives behind it. What person wouldn't offer another person back to see her mother on her death bed if they had the means to do so. I think this would be more of a story if he told her to go pound salt. I don't see how this even makes him a nice guy tbh, just about anyone would offer this if they were in a position to, even most assholes.

He didn't gain any points with me, he still ruined one of my favorite sources of entertainment.

I don't doubt he is a good guy, but he is in over his head, and has made for a terrible GM.

If Bergevin had said this about himself he'd deserve every shot people are taking at him. But he didn't. He simply did something nice. That's it. I don't get why or how it could be spun into so many negative and detoured in so many unrelated directions.

Continue the thought experiment: I am sure there are other nhl GMs out there who have done nice things but don’t get a podcast about it. Call me cynical but why this story why now?

Is anyone else seeing a 3D effect from the red font in the Chantal graphic?

He took over Habs and became one of my favorite sources of entertainment himslef. He is bigger than da club!

 

[hey]

lol, at all these comments. It's ok to admit he did a good deed. I'm not one of MB fans...actually quite the opposite. someone going out of his way to help someone else deserves credit. I wish more people showed there human side. You can still hate the job he does as a GM and praise this action.

lol. how exactly did he go out of hsi way here? did he spent any time, money, etc? he is being praised by the propaganda machine for not being a connard. what's next, "Mol$on is an exeptional human being because he held a door for a little girl"?

That's pretty much what everybody in here did....

time to trade him then, you can't outgrow the team and logo, right?

 

[Pacciosoftie]

pretty sad how he has to get propped up on a story like this to deflect how much of a shitty GM he’s been. As if this will change our minds about him. What a joke this is.

I wasn't suggesting to edit it @Runner77. I actually thought it was awesome!!

I’m sure Chantale Machabée’s mother feels the same way.....why so sour man??

It’s okay if he helped someone out.......what’s troubling here is that it somehow bothers you.

By all means continue disliking the gm, the story was not meant to excuse all his mishaps as a GM.

 

[Milhouse40]

Hey, good for Bergevin. Great action. I'm sure he's a really cool dude when you get to know him.
But i won't get to know him and i don't care about how cool he is.

All i care about is the job he's paid to do.

95% of people would’ve done the same thing. He’s not special. What bothers me is how this story was written to try to sway people’s opinion of MB. It just looks pathetic. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Habs PR mandated this story.

No, they haven't.

It was a podcast interview with Chantal, it wasn't a written article. Habs PR had nothing to do with it.

This is the most rational criticism in this thread. Like the act, dislike the job expertise. No imaginary agendas or conspiracy theories.

It's a slow Summer in Montreal with every team playing bad. Best way to get attention as a journalist is to say anything related to Habs.

Good PR is also a responsibility of GM. Hence why the organization requires ours to be bilingual.

I looked and couldn't find any red fonts!

I sort of am seeing it but I just had a migraine about 2 hours ago so in my case that might be why.

All good acts should be recognized. Not just the ones by a public figure. Good on him, but props also to all of those who perform selfless deeds without everyone knowing about it.
