Heck, I'm an actual historian and even I don't live in the past that much.
Small nuance but we don’t traffic in history here as much as we immerse ourselves in histrionics. What a bottomless gutter.

Again the hysteric crusaders trying to taint the Maestro's legacy. It's almost a hate crime. I won't stand for it, the Bergevinator was a shrewd manager. His trade record is nothing short of magnificent. Same venom we see spewed on General Michel (Therrien), who recently Pacioretty praised in an interview, yet you hear the same crap about how he was hated by every player. Who are the real haters here?

Maestro's been gone for months and they can't give it up. You can feel the irrational hatred transpire through the screen.

These people couldn't deal with that amount of splendor from one person. He was all class.

Well thanks for lifting that. I’m all too aware about how long I’ve been here and since I never claimed to be perfect, I’m sure that I had my share of contributions to that gutter, sadly.

But, I’m striving to do better all the time. Hopefully that counts for something.

Peace out. :)

It’s either high comedy or low trolling. Bergevin made a few inspired trades and his two year ago offseason was good. His last offseason looked like he already worked for a rival team, his planning and team building was clownish, and most of his signings were clueless.

The cup run was fun but it doesn’t excuse the consistent incompetence.

Sigh. I’m feeding a troll.

So what? I said he left a pretty good situation for rebuilding, not for winning. It was obvious our winning window was collapsing anyway, with Price and Weber on their way out. For what he left, Hughes and Gorton inherited a solid pool of prospects and tradeable assets (proven by the Toffoli and Chiarot trades).

Hardly a "ground zero" scenario.

Ironically, people will still argue that Bergevin somehow didn't walk into a really good situation himself a decade ago.

Yuppers.

Except that tomorrow’s scrimmage will be at the Bell Center instead of Brossard.

Hopefully that means a better broadcast.

A better situation, all he was missing was an offensive #1 center. Markov and Subban at the blue line, Price in net and Pacioretty. They were not prospects, they were established players.

HuGo were given potentials. The team currently doesn't have any top pair dmen, no starter goalie and Suzuki might become a #1 center... The prospects might be looking good, it doesn't mean they will turn into a Markov/Subban pair or a Price.
