HF Habs: Marc Bergevin & Carey Price Media Availability (11AM ET)

[NeptunesTrident]

What is Price supposed to say after practice? Thanks coach? Fairly confident that Price has Waite's number...he'd likely just call him. Just another wtf moment from Bergie

 

[le_sean]

I also love how Bergevin spun it as him being respectful by firing Waite in between periods of a game so he would have time to pack his stuff without crossing paths with anyone. What a moron.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Richardson, the chosen one, won't get fired.

I wouldn't say for sure that Richardson is safe. There is still a possibility they could've hired someone external to replace him but they might have to quarantine (similar to Burke), as a result they might've not announced anything yet.

Shades of Cammalleri being traded mid game.

will waite be allowed to keep his sweaters?

Bergevin just said he wasn't getting fired like... 2 minutes ago.

 

[Treb]

This still doesn't add up to me.

Why the second period? He didn't fire him before the game, so clearly something happened to instigate the decision.

I wonder if it was that one goal on Price. Wouldn't make a ton of sense but it's not like anything else significant happened in the 2nd.

He made the decision before the game. He wanted to avoid disrupting the team before the game. He announced it after the 2nd so that Waite didn't have to meet with the staff/players while being fired.

Nm then lol, I'm not watching the press conference so didn't see.

Edit: Apparently he had made the decision beforehand.

Pretty much. He just didn't fire him before the game not to create a distraction.

 

[HuGo Sham]

wow bergevin sounds extremely irritated. Obviously job is on the line. it's clear he saw malaise bleed into coaching staff and thus players (especially Price). They better make playoffs or he's gone. no question

 

[expy]

Here we go Tony.

 

[THE HOFF]

Isn't this unusual? To have Price speak to the media like this?

Either way, Id rather have him practice crouch-stand up if his knees are too soar from the amount of time he spends on them.

 

[Big Empty]

Berg is fired up right now.

 

[expy]

lol, he ticked off Bergevin.

 

[ManixLiquid]

Bergy is pissed lol

 

[Habs4Life]

Berg firing everything and everyone when is the responsibility going to be put on him for making an average team?

He's next in line, that's for sure.

I hope he won't hand out other contracts like Martin Lapointe anytime soon, or Molson might refrain from doing the cleanup needed (when it happens, not 'if')

 

[OnTheRun]

"Burkie" make us better. So cheers guys.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Can’t expect to win games 1-0. It’s always everyone’s fault but Bergy’s. That said, 10.5m Price has not been much of good help lately.

 

[Turtleneck Plek]

Berg sounds like my brother when I give him shit for being a covidiot. I DO WHAT I DO BECAUSE I THINK IT'S THE BEST THING TO DO FOR ME.

 

[expy]

"sometimes a small change can make a big difference"


.... earlier...

"I don't make changes just to make them"

 

[waffledave]

lol this presser is so weird.

 

[expy]

HAHAHAHA everyone ripping on Bergevin.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

I wish someone could say: “maybe all you need to do is look in the mirror to know the problem?”

 

[waffledave]

Bergevin: Tiger Woods was the best golfer in the world and he changed coaches!

Hickey: Yeah well that coach screwed Tiger up.
