Quite the collaboration of Bergevin haters placing blame, a lot of GM's won't claim a cup this year as well, 29 of them who couldn't secure the pieces to win it all at the deadline.
Bergevin did what he could in his opinion, for the long term, and I for one don't think Duschene or Vrbata et al, at a kings ransome would have got the Habs anywhere.... especially if it cost Sergachev or similar... We as laymen can second guess him all day, who here knows what it's really like to be in an NHL GM's shoes? Nobody.
Hard to blame the coach, goalie, or players like the bottom 3 players on the roster, when the top 3 forwards couldn't muster a goal against the Rangers.
Patch, Chucky and Pleks could shoulder some responsibility for the Habs lack of playoff success this season.
Bergevin bet on his players to come through, and they didn't, it happens, we move on to next year... ask the Blackhawks fans.
I believe if we had of beat the Rangers, we had a shot to go deep, but you can't when your leading scorers can't score...
