Bergy has been hitting the gym .

 

[Whitesnake]

No changes in the assistant coaching in the NHL. AHL is in talks.

 

[MasterD]

"Where were you and who did you call?"

The Montreal media never ceases to amaze me... such pathetic questions.

 

[deandebean]

****, no coaching changes coming up. Ok, sour note to end it.

"Expect the unexpected"

Also dodged the Galchenyuk question awkwardly.

Flex it Bergy, flex!!

"All I will say is that the thing about Radulov is not money, but term"

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Bergy is the solution at defense! Definitely hit the gym in order to attempt an NHL comeback.

Bergy would make a great spotter at the gym

That's not too surprising, if Radulov wants 7 or 8 years then that is just not realistic. 4 or 5 years is frankly the max I'll be willing to do for him

Cause it's true.......I don't want him traded, but if we can get something significant for him...ahem.... centre....ahem, cough cough

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Damn, Marc is so yummy.

Will see if Radu really wants to stick in MTL i guess...ball in his court

This was interesting to me. As someone who has said he wasn't shopping Subban/didn't want to trade a guy like Sergachev, his response to the question being that he doesn't discuss player transactions was interesting. Not discussing it when it's in the works makes sense but his response was kind of revealing that theirs definitely something there imo.

I dont get how and have 0 understanding how Sly gets to keep his job in a Team Move . It is the cleanest time to bring someone in especially when Sly's contract was up .

ST John/Hamilton has been a failure in winning and developing

If Sly makes it form Hamilton to St John's to Laval something is not right. A coach like him with his record should not last through 3 relocations

Radulov has already said that max term is not realistic. I have a feeling MB is at 2-3 years and Radulov wants 4-5.

Absolutely. Even 5 years is stretching it a bit.

This is what bugs me with MB. He does something good, then does three things dumb. This is something dumb. Same with not changing the coaching staff. Why does Julien get stuck with MTs cronies? Only coach who should have been retained outside of Julien is Waite.

100% Julien had his say regarding his assistants. He might have liked his experience with them. There's no way Bergevin forced him to keep them.

If it was the case it would be great because I'm pretty sure it would be easy to get both agreed on 4 years, with a bit more money.

At least it works in NHL 17 ;p

Any chance this is just a game they are playing until the expansion draft? After it is passed they will miraculously come to a consensus?
