Well, here's some levity for the Habs fans still smarting from the trade, and even a spirited defense of Bergevin...before he starts in on Bergevin's worst-ever moment in the NHL.

https://sports.vice.com/ca/article/down ... c-bergevin

Best line in the article is the last one:

Quote:
Meanwhile, we never did find out what kind of behind-the-scenes character issues the puck must have had to be tossed away like that, but I'm sure it was something.


:lol:

Interview with outgoing Hab stat guy Matt Pfeffer.

Quote:
“The person I reported (director of legal affairs/capologist John Sedgwick) to liked my work and the methodology behind it and believed in it,” Pfeffer said, “and there were others inside the team that didn’t believe in it and maybe had their mind made up about advanced stats. I think there’s been a bit of pushback from people in the NHL recently about this kind of stuff.”

Aka People with giant egos weren't enjoying being told that they might be wrong.

people with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo will always push back to protect their interests. This is much more than ego, its the careers and incomes for a lot of people. Business books are full of all kinds of case studies dealing with organizations that are resistant to change similar to this.

Weber on his former and now current teammate Radulov: "He has a family now, so hopefully he's here for the right reasons."

Ringing endorsement? :lol:

He also called him a game-breaker, mind you.

Stephane Waite said they're going to limit Price to about 60 games this season. If he makes it to 60, of course.

The exodus of minds continues: director of professional scouting Vaughn Karpan bolts for Vegas.

Former COO Kevin Gilmore, who left because Jeffy Molson wants to be in charge, is now at Barclays sports.

More brain drain news: Dr. Vincent Lacroix is out as head physician.

Taking the fall for the Carey injury? TVA's Renaud Lavoie says no.

This quote from Carey Price does not fill me with confidence:

Yeah, who wants a dynamic player who can change a game at any moment? You'd rather have a reliable guy who always does what's expected.
:wtf:

Marc Bergevin says Habs have hired someone to fill an analytics role, would not say who or what the position is.

Probably just expanding Therrien's current role to include it.

Top two lines revealed:

Pacioretty-Galchenyuk-Gallagher
Shaw-Plekanec-Radulov

Probably the way to go, but could easily see Carr, Lehkonen, Desharnais, Andrighetto slide in there too.
