Marc Bergevin: Redemption Song Part 19

[OldCraig71]

Bergevin quipped that he would quit if the Habs win the Cup. I’ll believe that when I see it.

Did he say this recently?

Did he say this recently?

Today, right here:



“It would be the ultimate dream and I’ll be able to retire afterwards.”

 

[1909]

He is thinking about "retirement".... IF they win it, I guess.

Well then, let's win it for Bergie.

You should leave Drouin alone. He and his family don't need that kind of comment. Lack of class, you should be ashamed.

Spare me the misguided morality lesson and indignation.

Drouin and his family probably don't and shouldn't read this forum, so you can also spare the victimization shield.

If Drouin had anything close to what you pretend to yourself he has, Habs players would honor him, at least one would've come out and say something like "we're doing this for Joe" "this win is for Drou". It's been three rounds and it's as if he's never been with the team. Should they be ashamed too? Cuz they're acting like the great victim that is Drouin doesn't even register on their radar. It's as if they are pissed he quit on the team.

He left in a warm-up, right smack in a playoff race. That would explain why they're not honoring him in any way. Zero, zilch, nada.

You don't like what I write, then there's a function on this site for that very purpose, instead of acting like you're on some moral high ground so you play dictator against free speech.

I have a question for you. Did you ever make negative remarks towards Gomez when he was in his goal drought?

I remember writing the lenght of time called 'a year' should be changed to 'Gomez goal time', a joke like that. I did wrote negative comments but there was far more worse than me and I always wrote I liked Gomez the person because he had a sympathetic face and I didn't see a lack of effrort in his play. I never harrassed a player including Alzner or Schlemko. When it doesn't work out, it's conter-productive to harrass a player, it doesn't work, that's it and move on.

We are not like Toronto and I don't want Habs fans to built a toxic environment. But you do a good job as building a toxic vibe, and others like you. There is a karma with toxic environment, see Toronto Leafs and the losing curse, well deserved.

Well then, let's win it for Bergie.

This is just Bergevin being Bergevin. He’s drunk on his own ego right now. We all know damn well he’s going nowhere.

We don’t have context, intonation, non-verbal cues. He may have been joking as he’s known as a prankster.

He's under contract for next year as a final year. We'll see afterwards.

 

[dinodebino]

Well then, let's win it for Bergie.

TBH, I think he would really do it. Thus maybe the 'discussions' he had with Geoff. It's a hard job, being a GM in Mtl.

Bergie must have told the players this before game 5 in the Leaf's series.

 

[dinodebino]

So Steve Simmons complained that the franco reporters' questions and answers were not translated during the press conference.

Usually, the anglo reporters ask the same questions in order to get the anglo version. I guess Simmons missed the Figs-Habs series.

Here's the video of him saying it at around 4:30. He looks dead serious so there may be truth to this.

OK, thanks. Didn’t know there was a clip.

Meh..or just go be the GM in a smaller market making more money without the increased stress.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Holy f*** he just said he would retire if he won the cup

GO HABS GO GO HABS GO GO HABS GO HABS GO

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Well then, let's win it for Bergie.

We win the cup and he leaves
the impossible scenario

 

[Gravity]

His contract has also not been renewed for 2022-23.

Let me dream for once

I think it's a tongue in cheek comment. He's waiting to put his signature on a contract extension ( some said 5 years ) the guy is not going anywhere.

 

[Gravity]

At the same time his right hand man John Sedgewick was extended for 3 years so who knows:

[McGuires Corndog]

The Habs winning the cup and Bergevin retiring?

Someone please pinch me

 

[TheBuriedHab]

I've heard from multiple media people throughout the year that there were rumors that Bergevin had enough of the media and fan pressure. Would not shock me at all if he does say f**ck all you I'm out!

Fan pressure I can understand. Media I can't as they're all buffoons anyways struggling to ask any semblance of a coherent question. There's no real viable GM replacements this offseason.

He’ll play out final year of contract and bring a replacement up to speed - because he’s a team first guy
