Kent Hughes named GM - 5 year deal

[Habsy]

Fucking karma

 

[Stinky]

Now I wish I never gave him the snow job of his childhood.

Better that than the blow job of his adolescence.

Dude really?

fire him!!!

FYI this had been a done deal for awhile. Now that it's done friends of Kent (he grew up about a km from me) are now telling the story. I can't really say more.

Gorton was never going to work with anyone he didnt trust or know well

One good thing to come of this ....the door is open finally for non francophone executives to get hired

No fucking way. I have the numbers of several people we know in common. He stays.

 

[CH1]

I like it.

I love it

 

[Habsy]

This is fucking Christmas for me. So awesome.

The most important position in the org at present time… have my money on Marty Lapointe given friendship w Gorton

Daniel Dore

Cup run. Travel with my kid. Habs clean house. Childhood friend new "GM" (I know the deal).

BRB. Gotta tug one out.

Christmas and Easter. #resurrection

 

[Habsy]

And leaf fans try to razz me?

 

[GEEMAN]

YES ..... cant wait for the french media to lose it

 

[Habsy]

Don't be petty. I just want a proper rebuild then a cup.

 

[Krustchev]

Now we also know the length of Gorton's contract.

We all want a proper rebuild

But opening the doors and not simply hiring the next unqualified french person is a major step

It's a little encouraging that they're willing to go with an Anglo who speaks French rather than forcing a p'tit gars de chez nous into the role, regardless of talent. Of course, he's got a massive hole to dig himself out of, so it's not an easy job for sure.

I love it. We have an incredible base now. Gorton/Hughes, this leads me to believe Molson might actually be serious about winning.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Mathias Brunet likes it a lot.

Anyway, the Habs are in last place and just got rolled by a team that barely exists. These guys have plenty of rope, for now.

The early days of their tenure, assuming it’s 5 years, will be almost entirely determined by how they handle Carey Price.

Or finally realizing ......SHIT ISNT WORKING ....lets go with better staff
