kinot-2 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 OK, so we now know that MB has no plan for the future. Because of that, I am wondering "How long do I wait to the promised land (the ECFs)". Because I am old, and have witnessed numerous Habs SCs, I would love to see one more, but I doubt that will happen in my lifetime. So, my question to you is,,,,, how long will you wait, before you with give up on the Habs? 2-3 Years? 3-5 years 5-7 years? Heck, I tried to put up a poll, but this is what I got. "Something went wrong. Check the values provided on the marked tabs and try again." WTH is a "value"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennifer_rocket Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Not quite sure what the poll is asking (what does "giving up" on the Habs mean?), but... I'll probably keep watching and supporting the team in some capacity until I'm too old to care. I don't spend on money on the organization anymore (haven't for years), but that could easily change if they started heading in the right direction. No point in visiting Montreal and spending a bunch of money to go see a game if I have little confidence in their ability to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont own the team, I live on the other side of the country so i dont go to games - but the Habs are my team. Im not dumping them in favour of some other franchise. For better or for worse they are the team I will support, until I am gone, or I stop watching hockey (presumably simultaneously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatikal Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I am supporting this team by withholding financial support to force out MB. Besides with all the cap room and new VIP seating ($19k a pop with a minimum of 4 tickets for one game). Seems like ownership thinks all is well and the fans will come no matter how bad the team is managed. It’s not on the players. They do their best but MB has no vision! No plan, no idea what he’s doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony5775 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Do not live close to Montreal, but will go to a game every time I visit there. Just went to the Dallas game and well left very disappointed. Still a great experience to see them live. Will also be a Montreal fan for the rest of my days. Those thoughts will never enter my mind.

H_T_L Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I reserve the right to ***** and complain about how the team is run, but i've been a die hard fan all my life and will never give up on the boys. It's not their fault the guy at the top has no balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26NCounting Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I don't mind waiting as long as the team has a sense of direction,and right now the Habs front office has no direct sense of direction. We constantly trade or sign 4th line plugs that are just place fillers. We could have and should have unloaded either Tatar or Petry perhaps both. The offer sheet in the pre season was a joke, 6 mil per year is totally ridiculous, especially when the team was sitting on so much access cap. If MB is the GM next year I know I for one will not watch or attend a single game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MALMACIAN_CRUNCH Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 I voted “never give up”, but in all honesty, I already walked away from the team back in 95. Habs were my team because it was Roy’s team, first. After that debacle (shameful), I followed Roy to Colorado. It wasn’t until he retired that I started following the Habs again. I think the Habs were always my team, but my loyalty to my favourite player was stronger than it was for the team. But once he was gone, my interest naturally shifted back towards Montreal. I’ll probably always have a soft spot for Colorado, but Montreal will forever be the team I follow, regardless of how frustrated they make me.

jeff33 Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 obviously im still on here talking habs with you guys , I'll always follow the team, but I probably watched a single digit amount of games this year and I pay for the stupid streaming service. For the longest time I was going out of my way to see every single game and if I missed it I would watch it back later (since they invented gamecentre live at least) To be honest, I found that its gotten to a point where I just want them to lose every single game so bergevin gets fired and they blow this thing up, and that is just too messed up for me. We have some decent prospects, and if they can turn into real players I am ready to jump on the bandwagon with both feet, but I am just not excited whatsoever by a handful of B level players and a bunch of plugs, especially when I have this doorknob GM making it worse by telling me this is good and everything is going great, like coming in 8th is our cup. I swear if we squeak in next year we should raise a bergy banner to the rafters. we did it! so how long can I wait? I have been waiting since they traded my 2 favourite habs eller and subban, I waited when we punked my 3rd and 4th favourite habs markov and radulov, and after that year we didnt replace them and bombed, I was like oh my god what is going on here and it hasnt been the same since then. I'll be on here chopping it up with you guys, I'll be all over who our prospects are, trade ideas, line ideas, I will always be a junkie for this team, but I am at my rock bottom of indifference right now for my life. So basically the answer is I'll wait forever, but as much as they could have lost me, they already lost me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part is that im not convinced MB will lose his job, even if we lose every single game for the rest of the year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part is that im not convinced MB will lose his job, even if we lose every single game for the rest of the year! thats exactly what Im saying, like I can't believe Im sitting here wishing we lose. Its not intentional, I just knew this year unless we absolutely bombed he would not get fired. well we didnt actually do much better and he was up there without a care in the world talking about the core this and building through the draft that, as if it's all going according to plan and I knew this guys job is 100 million % safe. Like I said, my only hope left is that some of these kids just bust right out because otherwise the plan is very clearly to hang onto the decent players we have, which have self evidently showed they just don't have the horses to get over the hump. Basically, we won't sacrifice the future to win now, and we won't sacrifice the chance to win now so we can win later. soooooo....when do we win? we are literally praying for miracles, thats the bergeplan. guys just do better than they have ever done in their career, mid level prospects take huge steps forward, no one gets hurt.....how is this a plan!? Im not johnny come lately either, im almost 38 guys lol. The habs have been my team since I was 6 years old. This organization has put me through some hard times, but you know like even bob gainey creating the midget team...he went for it. We even had some playoff runs. This is blatant, in your face shooting for nothing and lying about it. Look, I don't think this team is good as is. but if bergy, in all sincerity, thought it was and made a move or two to go for it, I could respect that. pick a lane. just dont try to tell me a team that has 2 playoff wins in 5 years is just fine and we don't need to do anything one way or the other. you are telling me im an idiot and as a fan I feel completely disrespected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
