Canadiens fire GM Marc Bergevin, hire Jeff Gorton as executive VP of hockey operations

The Canadiens announced Bergevin’s termination Sunday as part of a major housecleaning.’ Time has come for a management modification’

” On behalf of myself and the company, I want to thank Marc Bergevin, Trevor Timmins, and Paul Wilson for their enthusiasm and engagement towards our club over the last years,” Canadiens owner Geoff Molson said in a statement. The Canadiens brought Montreal native Bergevin, 56, aboard in May 2012 to change the fired Pierre Gauthier.

Bruins Marchand handed 3-game suspension for slew-footing Canucks Ekman-Larsson

The NHL has actually suspended Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand for three games for slew-footing Vancouver Canucks defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

The incident took place simply over a minute into Boston’s 3-2 win over Vancouver on Sunday, a game in which Marchand scored the tying goal and set up the game-winner.

As Marchand and Ekman-Larsson battled for the puck, the Bruins forward used his extended ideal leg and upper body to knock the Canucks defenceman to the ice. No charge was called at the time.

“What causes this play to increase to the level of supplemental discipline, the NHL Department of Player Safety said in a video on Monday,” is Marchand’s use of both his upper and lower body to take Ekman-Larsson to the ice in an unsafe style, and the speed in which the gamers are travelling toward the boards.”

Marchand, who has now been suspended 7 times over his career, will forfeit US$ 91,875 in wage. He is eligible to return for Boston’s rematch with the Canucks on Dec. 8 in Vancouver.

The Penguins were on the brink of collapse when Lemieux– one of the biggest players in NHL history during a 17-year career– teamed up with Burkle to keep the franchise afloat.

‘ clean slate ‘in Montreal Watch a condensed English-language version of Montreal Canadiens owner Geoff Molson’s press conference to reveal the hiring of Jeff Gorton as executive vice president of hockey operations.

6:45 Bergevin remained in his 10th season in charge when he was fired after

an unpleasant 6-15-2 start to the 2021-22 campaign that came on the heels of last season’s spectacular go to the Stanley Cup final. Molson stated Bergevin, who was in the last year of his contract, did an excellent task over his period, but modification was needed following an “undesirable” start. GM to have last word on

hockey choices The owner likewise acknowledged his previous GM, whose supervisory profession in Montreal was typically marked by in some cases controversial and vibrant moves, might have utilized assistance in the front office. “It’s a lot for one person,” Molson said. “If I might back up a couple of years and know what

I understand today, I would have matched [Bergevin] with another person.” It’s that huge a task in this market. “Molson stated Gorton and the GM-to-be-named-later are anticipated to operate in tandem, however the latter will have last state on hockey

choices. He has a track record for being a fantastic critic of talent.< svg class=

— Canadiens owner Geoff Molson on Jeff Gorton, the freshly employed executive VP of hockey ops “To have 2 people considering making a smart choice is way much better than having someone,” Molson said. Gorton was fired by the Rangers last spring after they missed the playoffs, but much of the

skill built up over his 6 seasons in charge has New York contending for leading area in the Metropolitan Division. “Nobody’s perfect in the hockey world,” Molson stated. “But I take a look at that group … it appears to be performing pretty well.

” He has a credibility for being an excellent critic of talent, but I believe someone who lasts all those years as a basic supervisor must be doing something right.”

The 53-year-old from the Boston location was also briefly interim GM of the Bruins in 2006, and ran a draft that assisted set the phase for the franchise’s Cup triumph in 2011.

Mellanby abruptly resigns

Molson stated Gorton, who signed what he called a “long-lasting” contract, will remain in Montreal later this week and prepares to move his household to Quebec for the start of the next academic year.

” We’re all going to actually like to have him here,” Molson included. “It’ll be a breath of fresh air.”

Having also fired assistant GM Trevor Timmins and public relations executive Paul Wilson on Sunday, and after assistant GM Scott Mellanby quickly resigned Saturday as the Gorton rumours started to swirl, Molson stated it’s on his two-headed management monster to work out how the organization tackles accomplishing its objectives.

” I shared a few of the top-level things [to Gorton] about vision– better hunting, much better player development, a medical performance group and more diversity [in hockey ops],” Molson stated. “It’s going to be up to them to find out how we’re going to do that.”

Molson, who will remain Canadiens president, was asked to describe to people outside Quebec the requirement to have a GM able to speak English and French.

” It’s absolutely vital that individuals that are working in our organization that interact to fans every day, or on a regular basis, have the ability to communicate to them,” he stated. “That’s one of the unique aspects of this market. It makes it complicated … issues can be great often.

” I’m quite delighted about this one. We’ve got two new individuals signing up with the organization, among them we understand about and the other one is to be identified.”

Left to be determined is the fate of head coach Dominique Ducharme.

He had his interim tag got rid of and earned a contract extension after making the last, but there’s been a clear disconnect in 2021-22 for a group minus captain Shea Weber due to the fact that of injury and star goalie Carey Price, who continues to work his way back after going into a property treatment facility for compound usage.

‘ I’m a respectable listener’

” I don’t make the coaching decision,” Molson said. “I haven’t even gone over that with [Gorton]

” As far as I’m concerned he’s the coach and he’s staying there.”

Molson added he’s never ever interfered in hockey choices, and if Gorton and his equivalent concur a rebuild– a roster tear-down that could at least a few seasons– is the very best method forward, he would not stand in the method.

” I’m not afraid of that word,” he stated. “And I think our fans wouldn’t be scared of that word either. I’m somebody who’s a quite great listener. I ask a great deal of concerns, and I try to make my opinions notified.

” If that is proposed to me, I would take whatever extremely seriously.”

Molson stated as of Monday early morning he ‘d yet to reach out to fellow NHL organizations about speaking to prospective GM candidates, but the uncomfortable timing of this housecleaning might make things difficult understanding some targets are currently under contract.

” We’ll cross that bridge,” he stated. “But I don’t believe we would rush into anything if we believe a better candidate is going to be available in the off-season.

” We will choose the very best candidate no matter what.”

Which person will have a partner in Gorton to share the burden, unlike Bergevin or his predecessors.

” Management of the group and the media around the group and the crises that happen and the ups and the downs,” Molson stated in explaining the mammoth job. “And then you have trading and you have signing agreements– in two languages, the whole time. With the knowledge that Jeff brings, and hopefully the knowledge the brand-new general manager brings, it’s just going to make us much better.

” I really believe that it’s crucial to have in this market, living in this market, 2 people at the head.”

It might take years, but Molson will eventually learn if he’s ideal.

Coyotes coach Andre Tourigny offered many of the credit to his novice netminder.

“Thank God we had Veji [Vejmelka],” stated Coyotes coach Andre Tourigny. “Veji was rock-solid and the men on the [penalty kill] turned up big. It’s enjoyable to win the game that method because our PK had actually been challenged early in the season.”

” We talked about character and times like this expose a lot about players and teams.”

Elias Petterson had a power-play goal for Vancouver (7-14-2) and Thatcher Demko made 33 conserves.

Jake Allen stopped 40 shots for the Canadiens, his second straight video game with 40 saves or more.

Backlunds shootout winner carries Flames to victory over Penguins

The Flames’ Johnny Gaudreau and the Penguins ‘Kris Letang scored in the 3rd round of the tiebreaker. Kept us in the video game all game. Much like throughout guideline, Calgary had the much better scoring possibilities in overtime. It’s difficult to go to the box when you’re up one late in the game and then when they score right away, it’s hard. Calgary swept the season series after winning 4-0 in Pittsburgh on Oct. 28, but the two games were in stark contrast.

Backlund wins it for Flames in shootout against Penguins:

Markstrom ended up with 21 saves to enhance to 9-4-4. Jake Guentzel scored for Pittsburgh, and Jarry had 31 stops while dropping to 10-4-4.

” We didn’t like our video game tonight,” Guentzel stated. “I think Tristan played an astounding game. Kept us in the video game all game. We understand we have to be much better. Simply to get a point, I believe it’s a big point for us.”

Just like during guideline, Calgary had the better scoring possibilities in overtime. On one opportunity, Gaudreau struck the crossbar. On a 2-on-1, Jarry snared a low shot that looked like the game-winner.

Down 1-0, the Penguins tied it with 7:25 remaining in the third duration, quickly converting the very first power play of the night for either group. With Backlund in the penalty box for interference after he carried down Evan Rodrigues at the side of the Flames web, Pittsburgh needed just seven seconds to draw even against the NHL’s second-best penalty-killing unit.

‘ Stupid penalty’

Sidney Crosby won the faceoff and got the puck back from Letang prior to sending out a diagonal go through the slot that was redirected by Guentzel past Markstrom. The power-play objective extended Guentzel’s point streak to 10 games. He also has at least one point in all 10 roadway games this season.

” Stupid penalty,” Backlund stated. “My emotions got the best of me there in front of the web. It’s hard to go to the box when you’re up one late in the video game and after that when they score right now, it’s difficult. Then when I got the possibility, I was excited to get a possibility to redeem myself.”

The Flames had eliminated off 26 of the previous 27 penalties.

Calgary did not get an opportunity on the power play, which would have pit the Flames versus the NHL’s No. 1 penalty-killing team.

Approaching the middle of the second duration and with the game scoreless despite Calgary producing a bulk of the scoring chances, the Flames finally broke through against Jarry.

Oliver Kylington’s long pass up the side boards was nicely broken by Lucic past the tight coverage of defenseman Chad Ruhwedel. As he recovered the puck and stormed into the Penguins end to chants of “Looooch” from the Saddledome crowd, Lucic snapped his 6th objective of the season through Jarry’s pads.

Up until that point, the Flames had actually done everything however rating.

Gaudreau and Trevor Lewis hit the post. Andrew Mangiapane whiffed on a cross-crease feed from Blake Coleman with an open side to shoot the puck into. Backlund and Elias Lindholm put unsafe rebound opportunities past open internet.

” They play a high-pressure game. They put a great deal of pucks in deep. You’ve got to be able to handle their pressure and I didn’t think we did extremely well tonight,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said.

Calgary swept the season series after winning 4-0 in Pittsburgh on Oct. 28, but the two games were in plain contrast. Last time, the Penguins put 45 shots on goal. They were held to less than half that this time.

” We played a little too loose in Pittsburgh however we got away with one, and today, puck possession was better, zone time was better,” Lucic said. “That’s a great sign that we’re able to change and zone in on what our tasks are to offer us success in the examining part of the video game.”
