A Stanley Cup this year will heal all ailments.Listening to this Bergevin PC gives me health concerns...
Actually, I think you're dead wrong. Internally, their goal is to make more money than last year. That's their primary goal. Winning the cup is simply collateral damage - so to speak.internally I’m sure their goal is to win the SC in due time, it’s everyone’s goal, you just have to be careful what you tell your public, but of course we can twist anyone’s words to fit ones agenda.
What happened? You couldn't think of a synonym that started with MMontreal's management minds of Marc and Molson merely move toward mediocrity.

Even with Domi and KK that list of centers isn't whole lot better.So without Domi and Kotkaniemi our top 4 centers are Danault, Suzuki, Evans and Weal? Nice
Put you in intensive care?And what will losing in the first round and missing out of a top 10 pick do?
Or as Bugs would say:" What a Maroon".That he's not a village idiot. He's the metropolis moron and don't you effing forget it.
You know Toe Blake started out as a Maroon. A Montreal Maroon. Maybe there's hope for MB. What'd you think?Or as Bugs would say:" What a Maroon".
My dad would often mention the Maroons and how they should come back. Maybe he was onto something.You know Toe Blake started out as a Maroon. A Montreal Maroon. Maybe there's hope for MB. What'd you think?
Not even sure the NHL will reach the cup. They expect the POs to run through fall, which is apparently when we're expecting a second wave of the virus. Let's see how this goes. Habs should be out by then anyways.A Stanley Cup this year will heal all ailments.

I am literally fed up with these kinds of comments. Even if you think that Bergevin's team goal is to make more money than last year, then you do realize that their only way to make more money is to win more and get a better team right ?? In 2017, A SINGLE playoff game in the Bell Center generated an average of 2M$. Do you think that's not coming into the equation ? Making more money and lifting the Stanley Cup go hand in hand. They can't be separated.
Actually, there's a bigger risk of losing money going into the playoffs and paying full cap salary and losing in 4-5 games in the first round than going home after the season while keeping salary cap low. So if you're really trying to make money you'll either want your team to go deep into the playoff or go home after the season. That's not what Bergevin's is trying to do. He's trying to BARELY go into the playoffs while keeping his salary cap low. In the NHL today - with how competitive it is, there is very low chance of such tactic actually working.
At the end of the day the only way you can make more money than the year before is to actually win more games and generate more excitement. However, what I think Bergevin is trying to do right now is to generate AS MUCH money as last year while not doing better. He's not really trying to win. By forcing Julien into playing our prospects, he's trying to show off the future of the team so the fans continue to get interested, watch and talk about the team so he generates as much money - keeps his job - and continue working on the future.
Canada's economy apparently can't withstand a second wave of the virus.. so I really don't think Trudeau will lift the restrictions to allow a Canadian hub city to host.
What happens if u save 10m in cap space each year. Does that help cancel out the revenue lost from missed playoffs. What about holding onto a GM for 4 years after his expiration date? Does that save money? What indication has management shown that they give a shit about winning?I am literally fed up with these kinds of comments.

I heard he was studying for his GED exam.Not only are the Habs going to be in the newly aligned playoffs come fall, Bergevin himself is spending all summer developing the COVID-19 vaccine so that the second wave doesn’t interrupt our Mickey Mouse playoff run...
Expect the unexpected

Do you think that if GM hadn’t prematurely extended MB for 5 years that MB would still be here. No f***ing chance.
you really lack imagination, hope for your financial health you're not thinking of using your savings to quit your job and open up a business.I am literally fed up with these kinds of comments.

Remember when Bergevin let Markov go and replaced him with Alzner? We had an AHL caliber Defense that year but he told everyone we had improved our D that year when everyone in the world except him new it was a mess. Then he signs Price to a $84 million extension while leaving him hangout to dry. It was a face saving move that showed no direction at all. Tie up 84m on a goalie while decimating the team around him. I think in any other org MB would have been let go years ago. Here, he will likely get another extension.Im not saying the Habs management wants to win. Im saying they are trying to hold unto their previous money winnings by giving the hope of getting into the playoffs (while knowing they need a miracle to get in) and showing off their youth prospects
Anyone can agree with me that if we had Radulov (for example) last season when we made 96 points we would have qualified for the playoffs. And this year would have been much different. If Bergevin wanted to win, he should have spent more. He didn't. He does not want to win.
