GDT: Around the League - 2021/22

[Vaive50]

The Bolts lose one of their games in hand on us in regulation.

Also Bergevin was a GM of the year finalist last year

Doesn’t that go to show how that award is kind of a sham

Old boys club FTW.

I remember when Timmins was a God to Habs fans on here, mainly because of PK, Max, and Price as mentioned by JFresh. This was years ago of course, but man how times change.

i dont think its just timmins drafting though...like look at their player development for those players.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Even Habs ownership realized last playoffs was a fluke

but nooo they are champions

short term gain for long term pain.

This Washington - Carolina game had some playoff intensity.

Andersen lets in a deflating late PP goal (albeit after the 5-on-3 expired) after Carolina rallied to tie it up in the 3rd going into it down 2-0.

Great game but tough to fault him on any of the goals. Great passing all around on that PP goal.

Damn it’s almost like a late season surge with nothing on the line isn’t indicative of future success.

 

[ottomaddox]

Usually Bergevin makes a shake up trade by now. I sort of thought something was going to go down. It was fun watching them implode this season. I thought they would be better than that, but I also thought Price/Weber would be there too.

Dorion & Benning next?

 

[Menzinger]

Damn it’s almost like a late season surge with nothing on the line isn’t indicative of future success.

Was definitely more than a bit surprised at how many people seemed to think they had improved during preseason predictions.

They're still a bottom 5 team on paper, let alone how theyve played

 

[The Podium]

Great game but tough to fault him on any of the goals. Great passing all around on that PP goal.

I’m not faulting him for the goal, just pointing out another one in the long long history of not making the big save in the big moments.

 

[Enga Olly]

I'm very sad about the Bergevin firing, loved his work and was hoping he would get a lifetime contract.

Oh well, now I'm praying Pierre McGuire to get the job

 

[PromisedLand]

Ohhh man Bergevin fired. This sucks. I was hoping he would ruin habs a bit more

 

[BertCorbeau]

Damn it’s almost like a late season surge with nothing on the line isn’t indicative of future success.

I mean they are rebuilding and relying on some young players.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I mean they are rebuilding and relying on some young players.

They are, but the way some pundits and some of their fans were talking you’d think they were on the cusp of playoff contention, pointing to their late season record last year as a reason why.

 

[Superstar]

Kane to Toronto!

Don't think Dubas would do it...Kane is probably very disliked in the dressing room...unless you're being sarcastic, lol...

 

[DarkKnight]

Don't think Dubas would do it...Kane is probably very disliked in the dressing room...unless you're being sarcastic, lol...

Omg yes, he’s a cancer hard pass.

Think that had more to do with how they played against the Leafs last season, lol.

 

[Gabriel426]

Not going to lie but I will miss him.

 

[James Blackley]

Not going to lie but I will miss him.

I'll say this about Bergevin, the guy really cared about his team, he was there cheering them on during the playoffs in the dressing room, and he got choked up when asked out Prices mental health issues. That being said, he completely boxed the Habs in, and left that team with quite the mess to clean up.

Petry as an upgrade over Holl would be huge. But tough to do unless they retain.

Nobody else is appealing though.

As long as they retain Petry too. lol

He's been exposed this season without Weber, and it will only get worse. And currently his play is not an upgrade over Holl.

 

[3blizzard4]

Pure gold from Bergevin:

That said, and despite the fact that this journey is coming to an end, I am proud of the legacy I'm leaving within the organization. The current team is much better than the results show, and I am convinced that my successors will be able to rise to the challenge.

It is with my head high and with unforgettable memories that I am leaving my role as General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens.​
