Eric Crawford unappreciation thread

[Le Barron de HF]

Minnes

I would remember this is the third richest hockey club in the world (second is the Leafs, first is the Russian government funded CKSA) and raid a team that has a great pro scout. I don't who does it in Minnesota but I've liked their pro scouting moves.

Minny, really? I haven't been real impressed by their moves over the years. Hanzal, Ennis, Bergenheim, Stewart, Moulson. Their amateur has been good but their pro has been meh aside from Staal and Cullen.

[Habs]

That man should be slugged in the balls till the end of time, he is a joke. Bergy should be under the same punishment

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I've liked Florida's. Same for NJD.

The guy of Jersey I was interested but he will stay with Shero he was with Pittsburgh when Shero was there

 

[Vachon23]

he’s the next that should be replace !

 

[The Great Weal]

he’s the next that should be replace !

And Churla and mellanby and carriere.

Another chumy chumy?

MB is best friends with Marc Crawford. The hiring of his brother Eric, is an extension of that.

Crawford remains the weakest link in the continuing clean-up ops. Do it, MB or we're going to be at a disadvantage yet again this summer when it comes to pro scouting. It's glaring.

 

[Vachon23]

ya but he is #1 on my list

 

[Runner77]

The Nepotism here is stronger than in any other organization

Carrière Jr. gone. Lefebvre gone. JJD gone. Baby steps.

 

[Tyson]

Crawford still thinks it’s the 90’s

MB played for Crawford for a month in Vancouver almost 15 years ago. What is their relationship beyond that?

I'm going with what I read about this. Can't recall the link unfortunately, but there is a close relationship beyond the month in Vancouver.

 

[Vachon23]

I think if they where so close, he would give him the HC job before Therrien

Nohing in Eric Crawford's resume suggests that he'd be a desirable candidate for the job he was granted within the Habs. Pray tell, how else does he win out on better deserving candidates? There is a non-hockey connection at play, no doubt about it.

Unless you can show that Crawford deserves the job he was given and deserves to keep doing it. I don't think you can make that case.

With the Bergevin Habs, it's a sure bet that most hirings have included secondary reasons not specifically for hockey acumen. The taints of nepotism and blind endorsement are tangible.

I was talking about Marc Crawford

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Bergevin played with the Canucks during his last NHL season. The coach was Marc Crawford who is Eric's brother.

Eric Crawford was then the Director of Player Personnel of the Vancouver Canucks .

For what it's worth MB played a lot of games with a lot of teams. He has links to guys his age group. It's normal to an extent.

Well, it goes back to what I had read. There is a strong connection between Bergevin and Marc Crawford, which led to Bergevin favoring Eric Crawford on the hire.

The argument about Marc Crawford not being considered for the Habs HC position can be explained. Marc Crawford had spent a lot of time in Europe with Guy Boucher and were both envisaging coming into the NHL as a duo with the same team. Marc Crawford was an Ottawa assistant coach at the time, they wouldn't have granted permission mid-season when Bergevin felt he had to make the move to Julien.

There's some players acquired that I like but some I don't get at all.

King, Streit, etc... Just holy shit end of the road types.

Marc Crawford applied when MT was hired too so this doesn't hold water.

I was talking when Bergevin arrived in 2012 and he choose Therrien

Just cause Bergevin didn't hire Marc Crawford, doesn't mean he hired Eric Crawford for the right reasons. Eric Crawford's resume doesn't hold water, that's all that really counts in this equation.

How about someone show us why Eric Crawford should be keeping his job? This thread is about Eric Crawford, not Marc.

Was just commenting on the Marc part. I don't even like Eric.
