Rumor: Marc Bergevin meets with team leaders, without Therrien

You lost me when you brought in the name of Boivin. Did you mean the Bruin Dman Leo Boivin? He and offense had no connection.

Pierre Boivin

Pierre Boivin, former president of the team.

Pierre Boivin ... President of the team ... Gainey's boss ... good to see you know the team.

Gainey had a rough stint, but ultimately he lost his job because of the Gomez trade. He was under incredible pressure to find some scoring (Boivin). Martin probably wasn't the best coach for him, but in Gomez' first year we made to the conference finals ... would all have been forgiven if we got to the next step?

A lot of things happened during that time. He was never the same after he lost his daughter. The firing of Carbo, was another turning point (again Boivin). He didn't seem to care after this and stepped aside the next season, not dissimilar to what happened when Dallas management forced him to fire Ken Hitchcock.

Gainey's forgotten more about hockey than you or I will ever know.

Gainey didn't lose his job. He quit.

Ummm... that's what stepped aside means ... perhaps I could have said "left" in para one, but I think lost is still appropriate. If Boivin called that shot, and the Carbo one essentially he'd lost the confidence from the president, or at least the autonomy to run the club as he wanted ... that's why he stepped aside. Sorry, perhaps I should be more literal.
