This is my best guess. I have a hard time believing Bergevin is that stupid, but his foxhole comment was unnecessary and worrying. If they miss the playoffs and Therrien is still here come October, I'll be on the #FireBergevin train, but for now I have to believe he has a plan right now.

I have ear buds, never use them. They're uncomfortable and I think my Ipod ones are busted anyway. I have some sony headphones that cover the whole lobe and have noise cancelling that I wear to and from college, between class etc. So much better.
"Rogers, TELUS and Bell are all raising their cellular plan prices across Canada starting at $5 per monthblamed on the exchange rate (except in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec, where regional carriers offer real competition; and exchange rates magically dont apply)."
.... did anyone say collusion? nobody? okay.

Missed that part of the convo. Nah. Sorry to disappoint, man. I just post here and there when the Pens are winning and don't pay attention much when they aren't these days.
Videotron in Quebec I guess. That's who I'm with in fact. They'll still probably raise it a buck or two like they do periodically. Best ISP/carrier around here in terms of service, billing, and internet packages for sure. Bell can diaf. So can Telus. Never tried Rogers.
Speaking of Videotron: don't worry Habs gaf, y'all can switch to Quebec's other team in a few!
At least you may have a shot at some new top prospect while already having a few... we're just kinda fucked with no first rounder again, nothing to show for it, and a pretty much empty cupboard all while being saddled with shitty D on terrible contracts. Your December/January dumpster fire will be a drop in the bucket compared to the years of poopoo we've got coming =/
I may have to switch providers. I'm paying 80 bucks a month for unlimited cross-Canada and everything else, plus just 1 gig of data. Seems like too much. I'm with Telus. How much does Videotron charge for a cellphone plan?
Also paying 110 bucks a month for tv and Internet with Bell. Seems like too much as well, especially since it's just the base package for the TV.
Anyone care to throw any "advanced" stats up there to show that the Habs are "just not getting the bounces" or are "shooting at an unsustainable low %" now?
Wake up. They are not a good team. They can't score, their D is porous, and they've relied too heavily on the best goalie in the world the past few seasons. No amount of hand waving and stats can change that.

We can only hope. Bergevin and Therrien (hell, the entire coaching staff) both need to be stopped before they fuck over the team for years to come, something we as Habs fans have seen too many times over the past 20 years.

I've said that since the off season
All the Habs really did was add Semin to the mix and all I heard was "oh it's not a bad contract so they won't lose much if he plays poorly and gets sent down". That was never the point. Bergevin knows clearly the team's weakness and didn't address it.
we're officially in 2011-2012 territory right now. I never thought i'd say that
Funny/crazy how it only took 4 years for history to repeat itself.
there's no way they're turning the puck over that much unintentionally, you can't just have 12 players become turnover machines in the blink of an eye

They're playing bad because they have no confidence. Losing however many games out of your last 30 will do that to you. Doesn't need a grand conspiracy, confidence plays such a huge role in performance you don't really need to look for an explanation beyond that.
Edit: Also Price was hiding a lot of cracks in the armor, all I'm saying is that they're better than they're playing right now.
I get that, Price was holding everyone together but still and they keep losing and blablabla, but still, they turn the puck over like some peewee level Oilers, i've never seen that many turnovers in my life
So we have to wait till 2021 to become good again? We lose Karlsson on the way.
That same plan is $55 with Videotron. Assuming you mean cross-Canada from local, and not from other provinces on trips as roaming will apply with this. I pay $55 for that with 4gb though, a promo from last year and I've been a customer for like 10 years.
Dunno about TV, we're cord cutters now. I do know they love giving you deals when you say you're ditching Bell. Or you can use a threat to move to Videotron in order to get more from Bell. Whatever works! My internet is $75 for 60/10 with unlimited bandwidth. Never drops. Can count hiccups in the last 5 years on one hand tbh. I'd go 120/20 but its not available in my area yet. Obviously you can get cheaper with a 30 DL and no unlimited + new client promos blabla.
Bell is usually cheaper overall for combined deals but I hate them so much. Such a pita to deal with. I just get Videotron to match.
My concern isn't so much that we lose Karlsson, but rather that we lose every significant supporting piece around him and by the time we build it back up, he'll be past his prime.
Or does he mean that soon as the NCC gives him his bid, he will start spending even before the new arena is finished building.
Them and their Mercedes' and translators!
Only time I've ever read that paper is at shitty breakfast places at 6am waiting for my food, lol.
Edit: that dermatology struggle is real tho! Even with my gf as a nurse I'm having issues and I just need to check up on a birthmark =/
I'm really getting sick of this build for the playoffs, have some moderate success for two years, then suck ass for one or two, repeat ad naseum thing we've got going on since forever.
Why can't they be a legitimate contender for a few years before fading back to shit

The SNES defense.
We do?
Mason is not 100% and hasn't practiced this week so Neuvirth is the starter again tonight. Where's the controversy?

I don't think Steve Mason will lose his start job in Philly. Wasn't he injured a lot this year? If that's the case... Bernier for Mason.........?
not my picture, but I would definitely win it for you
but then send you a PK Subban one
My understanding was that it would be once the arena is built, but I don't think they went into specifics.
I think the Sens will always open up the coffers for Karlsson, I don't think Murray (or whoever is going to be GM at that time) will hesitate to give Karlsson the max. The problem is that if we are still operating on a budget, we won't have much room to surround him with the proper support to make the team competitive.
The problem isn't what Karlsson is going to demand, is to whether he even wants to stay when he knows the GM and ownership is too incompetent to surround him with talent to compete for a championship.
We can't surround him right now with talent even tho he's only making 6.5M. That's the issue. If we can't right now, then it won't matter how much he's gonna ask, because even if it was the same amount of $, we still won't be able to get him much help.

How long before PK's deal gets talked about as 'unmovable'?
He's on the way to becoming the next Dion.

IMO they should try to get ahead of it while they still can. Trade PK for Dion, it's a move to slightly less cap hit for slightly fewer years. We can handle the burden while rebuilding.
I think we're pretty much in agreement there.
