I don't give a **** about what he said or what he will say especially in a press conference. I'am more interested in what he did or does.
Dark shadows were there under Gainey/gauthier imo now there is place for hope
If he didn't seem so unnerved, uncomfortable and genuine in his positions, I wouldn't care either. It really is more to do with how he said things than the nature of those things.
I think Gainey and Gauthier did good, bad, horrible, superb things. Bergevin had until now been on the good side of things on average, also considering he's 'new'. The place for hope thing is all well and good. It turns into a tragedy if a new hope ends up not going according to plan and the rebellion gets annihilated at Yavin.
I too look forward to seeing what he does, but he was spewing bucket loads of excrement during that presser, that is worthy of alarm. Methinks the new era Habs has hit a critical juncture, and the plan doesn't seem to inspire much confidence. He talked about "Charlie" Hudon, Sherbak, Ghetto, but really, his coach would ruin them. You think he'd treat Toews and Kane (who he can't stop forcing down our throats) the same way? They were a crap team WITH those two until Quenneville came in and got that place into tip top shape. Sure, it was a year later, but they were just as well acclimated to the NHL under Savard.
