They're having one of their worst seasons ever and they're not changing any of the top staff for what seems to be a lack of other french candidates. I think Molson has no interest in making any changes so long as people are coming to the games and buying beer- Bergevin has been...mediocre and keeps getting rewarded with FIVE year contracts, and it seems clear to me the only reason he doesn't have another one yet is that he's not sure he wants one. For a guy who said "If you want loyalty, get a dog" with regards to Andrei Markov he sure seems to rely on the loyalty of his own boss... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales would have to start plummeting, for Molson to consider making changes. It's a sad state they're in right now. When it comes to management, a lot of paying customers have been voicing out a lot of discontent, often around the exact same topics that keep getting brought up. I don't feel like it's worth the money to buy expensive tickets for a team that sees nothing wrong with staying mediocre. If Bergevin loses every remaining game and Molson still tries hard to keep him from moving to LA, it will illustrate how messed up their management system is. I don't agree with sticking to the same ways, when there were 6 teams in the league. There are now 32 teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacat_12 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 With 10 players currently in COVID protocol, the league has finally agreed to postpone the next 3 Sens games. https://www.tsn.ca/ottawa-senators-postponement-covid-1.1721381 I didn't expect to be checking tankathon this early in the season, but it's looking like this year is going to be a write-off.

Teams don't seem to realize that the tear-down portion of a rebuild is the easiest part. Any half-competent GM can trade away all their valuable players for draft picks/prospects, but the real work is building around those pieces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fenway group has been buying teams in other sports from everywhere in the world. They hold ownership of a nascar team roush Fenway keselowski racing, and own Liverpool football club across the pond. I’m surprised they haven’t gone after basketball team yet.

wildwing64 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Anaheim gets their 1,000th franchise win, Getzlaf gets his 1,000th point, Terry's on a 15 game point streak and the Ducks are on an eight game win streak. Not bad for a team that's supposed to be rebuilding. Quote PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stance at the time and still now is the refpuck was real, but it was because the Penguins were a good team of experienced vets who knew how to manipulate the refs in their favor and knew that being the Penguins inherently afforded them more leeway than their opponents*. It wasn't some deliberately nefarious scheme to give the Penguins a second straight cup, but it was curious that the Penguins kept ending up on the smiling side of bad call after bad call after bad call after bad call after bad call after bad call after bad call. You knew it was bad when national hockey media who usually loved slobbering the Penguins started noticing the pattern and were asking, "what is going on here?" *I don't know why this is true, but it's been true for like 15 years now. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't like the Perds for keeping opposing fans from games, hanging banners for asinine achievements, and the whole "little brother syndrome" atmosphere of the club. I didn't like the Penguins either, but I just wanted them to shut the Perds up. If the refs helped them, so be it. 2 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguins fans are the Worst People AliveTM Hockey Edition so keeping them out of road games is a matter of public health. That should be the policy at every NHL arena. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
