illWill Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Self explanatory. This is the place to go to blow off some steam about how much you hate management and think they are stupid. We can talk about how much better we are than them and what great moves we would make if in those positions. Or if you'd like, perhaps we could come up with nicknames for them. I bet they will be funny at first, but we shouldn't overuse them because we don't want it to get too annoying in here. And don't worry about derailing every post, because every post will be about our incompetent management! I'll start it off I still hold a grudge against Julien from his Boston days. Whatever is going on down in the AHL needs to change I dislike some of Bergevin's suits, especially the ones with pinstripes. I wish Molson didn't care about the language of a head coach. I'm starting to lose faith in Timmins. Has anybody ever seen Dudley? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on Radulov's grin is hockey personified lol! As for management bashing.. I'm growing tired of CHaracter.

I'm starting to lose faith in Timmins. Has anybody ever seen Dudley? Good point on Timmons. Back in 2011-2013, there was almost a Carey Price level of "Timmons Bots" burping up his record of stealing players with 5th round picks and the number of players he's drafted that made the NHL. So what happened? This is a chicken-and-egg scenario where the development team, or so they call themselves, can be blamed as well. Trading picks doesn't help as well, though he made it work under Gainey and Gauthier. My knock on Timmons is that he's never been able to draft the bigger players. Whiffs all around, especially on first rounders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaos Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I think Bergevin did a remarkable job early on with this team, but I don't trust him to make another big trade or do what required to get this team to Stanley Cup finals in the next 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Does this thread also get the blind management defenders to make posts defending them too... or do we need a new thread for those people? Asking for a friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMAC Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 In chronological order, I am still pissed at Sam Pollock for retiring early which led to the loss of Scotty Bowman and to Grudman. Grudman- not drafting Savard; Langway trade Savard- Chelios trade; slyvian turgeon trade; the trade for Recchi. Houle the fool: for the Roy trade and almost everything he did with the sole exception of drafting Markov Gainey- Koivu, Gomez and Mcdonagh The Ghost- dragging the franchise into even more disrepute than Houle and giving the Squid away for the waste of space known as Rene Bourque Bergevin for not getting more in the Subban trade and not getting a centre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranking the Montreal GMs: GREAT 1. Pollock by a country mile VERY GOOD 2. Serge Savard. Two Cups, drafted some all-time greats, had some home run deals, and some total disasters. AVERAGE 3. Bob Gainey. Two rebuilds, one by drafting and development, the other by free agency. Restored the Habs to respectability but could not actually build a contender. BELOW AVERAGE 4. Bergevin. Hidebound and unable to properly identify and address team weaknesses. Also unable to draft and develop talent. However, largely due to a core derived from Gainey/Gauthier, his team has thus far been quite competitive, albeit not a true contender. If the team doesn't win within the next three years or so, his regime will go down as an era of total futility, because there is no 'next generation' ready to succeed this one. BAD 5. Goat ONE OF THE WORST GMS IN THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT AND UNQUESTIONABLY THE WORST IN HABS HISTORY 6. Houle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this is where people who can't help but bring up and blame management in every single other thread can go and get it all off of their chest, in hopes that the rest of us can enjoy an insightful conversation for the first time in I can't even remember. I love this site and the differences of opinion and the debates. But when I can't read a string of posts without someone blaming management it takes away from the experience. There's no problem saying you hate management and explaining why when it's on topic, but it's absolutely brutal wasting my time sifting through some of the garbage posts that aren't even related to the conversation at hand. "Blind defenders" don't just derail threads to praise management for no reason. It only comes up when management is attacked, hence the word "defend". I tend to always be on the "defending" side of players and management because it tends to get a bit out of hand, even if I agree with some of the points made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's to prevent every.single.thread from becoming Price/Halak, or Weber/Subban, to borrow from two recent common thread derailment themes. My thought on current management? I don't think they're forward thinking, or proactive enough, to effectively elevate this team into the upper echelon of NHL teams. They inherited a good roster and have not done enough to develop or augment the roster. I supported the management team until the collapse of last season, the foxhole, retaining Therrien past his sell-by date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan1989 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 This organization is in trouble when it comes to prospects and development and drafting. We have no one in the farm system that we can call up to play a big roll or challenge these guys for roster spots. what happen after bob left??????? With bob we were close to the top when it comes to prospects. But now we got no good blue chip prospects. i don't understand that this organization doesn't see that this is a big big problem. We need to fix the way we draft and develop our players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
