yeah with so many great candidates it's insane that Bergevin hasn't been fired yet...

I'm team juggers from here on out

hihihi?

It's (frank)ing funny at this point. He's at the gaslighting stage

Seems implausible to me that there is not another viable candidate to lead the Habs.

Bergevin repeated twice in the presser : in the ideal world I want to be back next season with a new contract.

My first order of business would be to send Paquette to Trois-Rivieres.

I'm surprised people here barely said anything about Ducharme yet, I don't think it's because of Bergevin and Molson that the team this year has scored only 3 goals in 4 games (although I know everyone will argue it is lol)

In an ideal world, that will not happen.

"I won't make a change just to make a change," Bergevin says. He said it's got nothing to do with cap space or anything like that, he believes in what they have and the players need to perform more to expectation.

Marc Bergevin affirms he absolutely wants a new contract with the Canadiens.


Talk about a double dose of bad news
- Mashadar

So we're not gonna do a panic move, which is fine.

And Bergevin doesn't want to bolt so it's Molson that's hesitating, which is also fine.

I will give him a few more months, he has not been coach for long, but he needs to figure poop out soon... more than just line juggling.

I see him being out coached and not adapting to the opposition... which might be harder to do on the road, but there is zero excuse for home games.

oh snap, not even to the Rocket, a GM with attitude

He also thinks the team, as is, is good.

That is not fine.

What else was he supposed to say?

"This team sucks, the players suck and I suck"?

well to be fair they clearly aren't this bad either...

Give this man a raise. $40k and all the ex you want...so none

- Mashadar

yeah let's just say he seemed more in control during the playoffs, but then again at the time he had the personnel to remain in control more easily

Criticism of french coaches tends to upset Fred

- Pat1993

Why is it that every time someone predicts the Habs could have more than five 20 goals scorers, we end up sucking?

What else was he supposed to say?

"This team sucks, the players suck and I suck"?
- Scabeh

for once he tells it like it is!!

He also thinks the team, as is, is good.

That's the scary gaslighting part because he CAN'T believe this

Ducharme, in my book, gets the benefit of the doubt because of his run to the SCF.

But despite the new contract, he's far from being completely safe.

- Scabeh

yeah that prediction is looking sooooo bad right now lol

for once he tells it like it is!!
- Pat1993

I'm sure Mashadar would find a way to blame him anyway.

"Wow, he doesn't even believe in his own team or himself! Fire him!"

What else was he supposed to say?

"This team sucks, the players suck and I suck"?

It'd be honest and respectable.

"Everything I've done since the end of the season has been an epic and embarrassing failure" would be a good start

Aside from the Mailloux fiasco, what exactly has he done since July that's been "an epic and embarrassing failure"?

It's way too early to judge on most of he decisions imo.
