Galchenyuk draft was all around trash. We missed on kk draft cause we desperately needed C. Either way, ya we need to clean house from team president to GM to scouts to coach.

If we lose today, will the bags start coming out when they get back to the bell center?
They should...

I like it, double down on the madness. Like a gambler that cannot quit his obsession's.
There are TEAMS that are just that.....so while their guy goes down, they can cover it.
The Habs for the last several years, with or without Price have wasted his years away.....The TEAM has been built poorly, over and over.
Rinse and Repeat.
As for the Oilers, they can't win with or without McDavid so it's a moot point.....besides who wants to be compared to the Oilers? There are plenty of teams, especially TB who have proven built properly you can win without your main guy....
Isles, have been better without Johnny T so they also have proven they can WIN without their main guy...
It's a TEAM game....
I never had an issue with that contract....never. The guy could have got 12M and Bergevin would have had to do it....Price is the meal ticket, for a GM who has been in over his head, and riding a goalie instead of building a winner.
Very interesting that this thread is revived.
My hunch is that Bergevin stays in the organization, but moves "upstairs". President would make sense.

Yes, he sure does deserve to be promoted...

As far as Bergevin goes, professional sports have a poor track record of public votes of confidence meaning anything.
I tend to believe that Bergevin would have already had a contract to sign if he wanted it during the offseason if not for the Chicago situation.
But now that his name is cleared, Molson probably sees this poor start and wonders if he still wants him back.
There's also the dynamic of whether MB wants to be back after serving this intense market for about a decade.
It's hard to get a read on the situation but as far as the vote of confidence goes, it doesn't mean much to me.

I heard Molson offerred the extension and it is up to Bergevin to accept, don't know what he is waiting for since many fans want him gone. As the losses pile up, at some point someone has to get the blame. Bergevin appears to be the dominant one over Molson.

More than likely off the table by now if it ever happened.

Go Habs Go
It was said a week or so ago that Molson upped the offer and that MB was looking it over or something like that. I believe it was discussed in this thread,
News Article: - Marc Bergevin officially out?
I know I heard a week or so ago that Molson made another offer, if it was TSN or somewhere else but I know I heard and I thought to myself what a clown, the ship is sinking and this guy gives MB a better offer, like how clueless can you be. Granted it's not like it was officially put out there so it's just rumor for now.

My biggest concern about all this is really that who will replace him? MB has been a good punching bag. For better or worse he shows up excited or depressed. The media eats it up. The Habs have full control of the media so that it’s practically impossible to say the truth. Now that he has a Stanley cup final to his name, it’s almost an auto renew for this owner since who will replace him?
You and I, among countless other fans on this board have been discussing the holes in this lineup. Year in and year out we seem to always find people who have excuses. Like this year, the team isn’t as bad as their record. No Price and Weber is huge. But again this always comes back to the holes. Having no number 1 D (Petry isn’t it, as we can see. Weber may have been it, but he isn’t it anymore and it’s been 2-3 years he hasn’t been it) or number 2 D for that matter (Weber could be considered a number 2 in a shutdown roll with PP shot). Our forwards are finally getting much better. We have good depth up and down the lineup. At C it’s weak but I hope Suzuki can turn into that PPG player once we have some decent D that can transition the puck. We have good skill on the fly, too bad they are never skating full speed into the zone on a good pass.
I fear MB is here to stay, if he chooses to endure the punishment that is Montreal.

You really think getting rid of a few hotdog vendors will help the team on the ice?

Overall montreal is 2nd last ahead of coyotes for shots on goal per game. They have a 43% faceoff win, their penalty kill is 65% effective (3rd worst in the league), their power play is 3rd worst in the league...and after 10 games they rank 3rd worst in the entire league.
Special teams is on coaching and personnel..Both failures of the GM

Have the rules changed for the draft?Does the worse record automatically get 1st pick or is it still lottery?
