I no longer have questions about Bergevin. I now want him fired along with Therrien, Lacroix, Daigneault and Lefebvre, all of whom somehow get to keep their jobs despite doing absolutely nothing to earn them. I'd gladly fire Molson as well, if only that were possible.
If any of you still haven't figured out by now that Bergevin is just Gauthier, Gainey, Corey, or Houle by another name you never will. The GM of the Montreal Canadiens isn't hired to build a Cup winner. He's there to protect and defend the owner's profit margins, nothing more. That's why, year after year and no matter who's sitting in the GM's office it's just "rinse and repeat".
I can't fire any of these clowns but there is something I can and will do: I can and will stop enabling this franchise while it persists in living in denial about the nature of its real problems. Supporting this product only ensures that things will never change because the only thing that ownership wants is for you and me to keep buying the product. They won't change a damn thing unless or until that is threatened. So all we as fans can do is starve the beast. No more buying tickets, no more buying jerseys, caps, car flags, nothing. Don't cop out by saying that your money won't be missed so why bother. And don't rationalize your habit of following the team as "passion" or "fandom" either. It's a habit the same as smoking. And just like smoking it is a habit that is bad for you but one that can be broken with sufficient will power on your part.
How anyone can continue to support an organization that repeatedly slaps the paying customers in the face and dares them not to come back for more eludes me, quite frankly. You give away your right to complain when you keep giving your money to the very people you complain about. This isn't like paying your taxes where you get fined or sent to jail for not paying. This is all voluntary. So if you agree that doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result is the definition of insanity then don't participate in the insanity by continuing to give money to Geoff Molson and his merry band of imbeciles. Don't pretend that you can't put a stop to this madness. You can. Just say "no more".
It's time for people to stop being part of the problem. You can either become part of the solution or you can become the same as Leafs fan. Is that what you want? To become the laughing stock of sports fandom?
Not for me, thanks. Geoff doesn't get a dime from me until those bozos are gone.
