If these reporters were pressing torts like this, oooh boy
Set the stage on fire
Well, Torts may become available soon. Hoping Montreal would be a good destination. The “discussions” between him and the Quebec media would be GOLD
Pat Hickey and Torts going at it lol "You were probably beat up at the bus stop most of the time, huh Pattie?"
He'd have a tantrum and run away.
torts would walk out 😂
Bergevin looking like a bad guy from a John Wick movie.
HAHAHAHAHA this better get over 5k likes at least
yeah the canadiens will be always be the bad Guys with there 24 Cups
Hahahahaha wow 😂😂
Bergevin would tear John Wick apart.
Dude looks like he’s high on meth
Man, the journalists in mtl are brutal.
bruh I was shocked....was kinda hoping MB was gonna rip into them harder
That last reporter was brutal🤦♂️
In some cases they need to be, absolutely. Tough sometimes with a fine line of what's too far
you should see our hockey team
The media’s acting like every single goal he’s let past is his fault, I don’t think they understand that hockey’s a team game
Some times it sounds like these reporters never covered the game before.
I'm a Habs fan, I got to say one thing, that the Montreal sports media ruined the career of many talented players here.
The media absolutely needs to calm the hell down. They made Roy run out of the city because of it.
Bergevin: Literally just explained that Price knows he's not playing well and will work to improve his gameplay. Reporter: So do you think he just doesn't have enough accountability then?
Sometimes it’s not the employees, it’s the manager. Just saying.....
There is a difference in meaning, which is why the reporter asked what he did. Knowing something is only the 1st step in accountability. Making one aware of it. There are more possible levels of accountability beyond that. Reporter: more accountability?; Bergevin: he has no accountability? Of course he has accountability. Reporter: I never asked if he has any accountability, of course he does, but I did ask if there should be even more accountability.
@@davidp.4727 Bergevin is so active and upfront i really doubt its him. MTL needs a coach that can fire these guys up, similar to Buffalo. Both teams have the pieces, they need a bench boss that can keep them in line in my opinion, especially Buffalo i fall asleep listening to Krueger talk.
@James Daddy i hope they draft well then!
@@davidp.4727 if it's all or most of the employees, it might be the manager. You might have just hired poorly. This could be individual players having issues, could be a bad roster, coaching, synergy, or a combination of any of those.
Bergevin handled that much better than I would’ve lmao
... and he has to do deal with this bullshit twice ... once in French, then in English ....
@@soulscanner66 twice? He deals with this crap EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. over and over...
a summary- journalist: i just don’t understand gm: that’s why i’m the gm and not you, eh?
Front-line journalism may provide us with "things" that we would never get a chance to see or hear, but it is comprised of some of the worst people in the world.
They aren't supposed to be care bears. You don't know anything about them personally and neither do I.Should journalists just ask questions to which we already know the answers, all hold hands and sing Kumbaya? It's their job to ask difficult questions.
@@joer8854 You can ask a difficult question without seeming rude or invasive just as you can form a response without seeming aggressive.
Pretty sure war criminals and rapists are a lot worse than sports journalists that ask mean questions
@@destroyermaker That's like stating: "I like apples over oranges" when discussing global warming. Context my friend. Context.
@@ShiftyCDN So you think people should consider what you read into their comments and not feel free to speak because of that. Interesting point of view however I am not responsible for you not liking my comment. Nor is a reporter responsible for you thinking NHL GM's coaches and players are little children who can't deal with being asked difficult questions.
Bergy is 100% right on that
There’s only one bergy and he’s on the bruins
@Titus Telesco do u watch Montreal games?
@Titus Telesco Jesus, have you seen Pat Hickey? They'll have to wheel him in to these press conferences soon.
Leafs fan speaking here: Obviously I am thrilled about how my Team is chugging along and beating MTL is certainly at the top of any Leaf's fan ..... now with that said, this reporter for the Canadians is arrogant and rude and tbh ...disrespectful with the way he talked to him. Like he OWES this guy some answers..??? smh Even tho the Canadians are my Team's #1 rivalry, I'd to think what we CAN stand together on is how annoying and rude both our Franchise's reporters can be at times. And it's usually when the team is in a funk and these sports reporters always have a narrative they try to push. I may hope my Leafs beat the Canadians for every remaining game still, but with crap ... You guys have my support.👍 Carey Price has been the backbone of this team for Years ...and just to hear some arrogant reporter talk about his "accountability" ....is ridiculous. Price is a legend and I know he will bounce back like he always does. ( hopefully not at the Leaf's expense 😏)
Gotta agree on that, the reporters are brutal all around
I'm a Hawk's fan and live in the states, but I don't know how any Canadian reporter doesn't have neck problems. Win 2 or three games in a row "best team ever, our best player deserves the heart, and our goalie deserves the Vezena." Loose the next two in a row and suddenly the team is trash, the players are trash and the goalie is the worst in the league. Makes my head spin.
Montreal and Toronto reporters are brutal. Whether you like him or not, Phaneuf and Kessel were destroyed. Pacioretty got destroyed. PK was great with the media, but he got traded...
@Jocques Samtrek He did his job. It's much better than the asinine questions that get the response, "We gotta get pucks in deep, work hard and pucks on the net," they ask in Toronto. Holy $#!t I wish they would ask a real question once in a while. Watch the Leafs play and Montreal media question periods. Best of both worlds. What coach got offered a job and went 'Awesome, and I'll never have to talk to the media or answer difficult questions."
As an oilers fan I gotta say its refreshing to have a leafs fan in the comments actually being respectful and not shitting on their Canadian rivals. Nothing wrong with friendly bragging or whatever but Jesus leafs fans are more toxic than in any other organization
Ottawa getting everyone fired in MTL
Molson's stock goes up at the liquor stores in Quebec lol
And elsewhere in the near future probably
It wasn’t Ottawa that made the changes it was the first game against the leafs
welp claude julien was coaching to not lose the game...but then u cant win that way in the nhl
Funny to look back at this now after their win over Vegas last night. Reporter questioning the team composition and performance.
The reporters need to shut up and let the team play. They're after Price's head after Montreal loses a game and it's disgusting.
Bergevin appears to be more and more stressed everytime I see him talk these days. Although yeah, the reporter was a fool.
Of course hes stressed... he replaced the coach and they have to get it going either this season or the next... if they dont then hell be on the hot seat... and also they asked him the dumb questions... that can make you kinda mad
I think it's also the Covid haircut
What a bizarre take from Pat Hickey to claim "things were working" with Waite when Price has been an average to below-average goalie for most of the last four years.
pat hickey is afraid
He’s been a lot more than a below average goalie, as much a a superstar goalie can change a team it still matters what he has in front of him
Was it Price's fault in the playoffs last season?
ill be honest i called for bergevins head a few years ago but i respect him and think hes done an amazing job as of past couple of seasons i like him defending price and i hope if this season does go poorly he remains hes proven he can put out a good team i think their are issues in the front office but bergevin is fixing them in my opinion
Thank you
I felt the same way, now I want to keep him around more.
@@QuestionEverything562 for sure hes been amazing as of recent every trade that looks awful at first turns to gold both domi trades looked awful at first and turned to gold so far with the second one and hes been great at the draft picking up guys in later rounds like Mete at 100th overall
Same here, I wanted him gone as well up until this off season. He did a great job this off season and it is on the TEAM (not Carey Price) but the entire TEAM to start bringing results in. I don't expect Carey to carry this team anywhere anymore nor should he have to even with his contract. I just expect and have no doubt Carey will eventually pull it together and give us consistent solid goal-tending.
@@Lee-hy8ii price has had it bad because of his contract no goalie should get that type of money for that long to many risks but his numbers issues are just as much the defenses fault as his own the amount of 2 on 1s or breakaways is insane and those will drag his numbers down alot but we cant expect to see 2014-2015 price again that was an insane year the greatest goaltending year in my eyes to have ever happened but price is still amazing just he needs help and bergy has done well to try and help him the players on the ice havent steped up to help though
Should've Won GM Of The Year
As a Boston fan I despise Montreal. But I love it when the two organizations have great rivalries. Carey price is a fantastic goalie. I think the reporters are asking stupid questions. I'm 100% certain carey is well aware of the situation.
I’ll trade you price for halak or rask and I despise the bruins since 1970...
Send him to Colorado and watch him win 2 cups lmao
LOL top comment for sure.
lmao
oh no not again
@Max Milučky better be sending byram, newhook and 1st
Ok how you gonna fit his 10 million contract?
People forget that Carey is Carey and he can be a top5 goaler in the league (in the bubble last year he was godly)
Carey Is Carey yes but everyone will decline it will always happen Carey is still one of the best goalies in the league but Carey is just not as good as he uses too (I'm a Leafs this how I see it he really needs to prove himself at this point)
Bubble Carey are insane
I love Carey Price, always have because I know he's to MTL what Lundqvist was to NYR but the problem is he could very well end up being the next Holtby or Bobrovsky
he can but hasnt really its years now { other then the bubble}
small sample size. hes been trrash for 4 years
I want that hairstyle
Ye it looks nice right
Just grow it out
Will take about a year or 2, gl.
I have the same exact brown 😂
Kent Nagano style
So now who's the boss? Good job bergy!
Watching this is pure Joy after that game 7
I am 100 % a die hard Leafs fan. And I can tell you that if there are people out there that don’t think Carey Price is STILL a world class goalie then they must be living under a rock. Sure every goaltender goes through slumps, but he has the resume to back it up any doubts people mite have. Give the man a break!! He will find his game and get back to form.
why cant you just give your opinion without stating youre a die hard leafs fan?
The media’s acting like every single goal he’s let past is his fault, I don’t think they understand that hockey’s a team game
@@DERTHIX if you’re making 10.5 million as a goalie you should be stealing games left and right. He deserves blame
@@JazzyJ.28 that’s me demonstrating that I’m being unbiassed. That ok with you?
@@thanos2588 have you seen his team? They’re playing worse than the Sabres
Why is there media, anyway?
That last reporter was really rude jeez
Sports reporters are absolutely insufferable. God bless the players and GMs for putting up with this bullshit.
The Price was right!!!
Marc still in boss mode😎
How dumb is that reporter who doesn't understand how a goalie coach can't hurt or help the goalie's performance?
Even more so in a hockey-mad market like Montreal.
What do they actually teach at journalism school?
i guess how to ask questions that they wont understand the answer to lol
rien du tout
I have no idea, I was absent that day.
Media are obsolete. Go right to the public. Get rid of the egocentric dinosaurs.
These journalists are so stupid with their questions. MB has incredible patience.
I love Bergy hahaha what a champ
In the salary cap era, you can't afford to spend so much money on a goalie unless he's absolutely lights-out incredible. Carey Price is good, but he's not the best and he's been pampered and protected in Montreal since Day 1. This season is the first time since Halak that Price has been challenged and he has not risen to the occasion. This will be the 4th goalie coach Price has had after Rolland Melanson, Pierre Groulx and Stephane Waite. With his NMC and his salary, it would be pretty hard to get a trade together.
@Max Milučky I thought about that but he can't be claimed in the expansion draft since he has a No-move clause. Could they get a trade together? Sure but that means Price would want to go (which I can see since it's closer to BC and expectations will be much different) and what could Seattle could offer
all Price has ever done is WIN. if you knew anything about him, his career, his stats, the teams he has been a part of, or goaltending, you wouldn't have ever uttered something so ridiculous.
Sounds like Montreal has a version of Steve Simmons. Terrible questions. Kudos to Marc for keeping his cool.
I’ve never seen reporters almost have full on arguments with a general manager before. I have a whole new respect for Bergy for putting up with this. Sometimes the media in this city is just brutal.
Only in Montreal...
Filmed at 3 Frames per second
Welcome to zoom
Montreal will make it to the playoffs. They still have time to recover.
Seeing how bad Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa have played....Montreal will be in the playoffs by default. That isn't a big accomplishment. Toronto will sweep them when they meet...
@@appletile2887 Ah yes, the team that hasn't gotten past the first round in forever LOL
@@appletile2887 would love to see Montreal play Toronto in the playoffs.
@@pajamatime5750 how did they do against cbj last season?
@@appletile2887 HA HA When is the last time the leafs won a play off round. So what will your excuse be if they get knocked off in the first round . I know wait until next year. Ha ha ha
Montreal sports reporters always ask questions in a vacuum. Everything is always about Montreal, without considering that there is IN FACT another team on the ice ... If Carey Price let in two bad goals and they lost, consider that the other team's goalie allowed two soft ones as well. Perhaps even three soft ones. Carey Price is not super human however once reporters exalted him to that pedestal then there comes a time to tear him down. There should be no team in the N.H.L. depending on their goalie so much. Reporters are so childish.
Do these reporters intentionally make these questions stupid and infuriating? This is so beyond hard to watch.
Man one of the good things about these times, you can just use the Zoom button and mute some turds.
bergy gotta hit the sqdc after dealing with all that bullshit
Sqdc????
@@adrianstevens165 sqdc is the government run weeds stores in Qc lll
Like I don’t get it. Nobody is catching them for the last playoff spot at this point. They are still a young team, they aren’t as far in the process as Toronto, Winnipeg, and Edmonton are. They are on the right track. Nobody has any patience anymore. Everyone is a toddler and wants the quick fix. Even when the quick fix isn’t possible.
just took a couple weeks. people needed to chill out. lol
I dont care if people disagree, I've always liked bergevin and hope he stays with montreal for a long time. This man flipped an aging pacioretty for nick suzuki and romanov.. he flipped galchenyuk for josh anderson..
Most of the reporters in Montreal want to know what time each player had breakfast, lunch and dinner. What they had. How it tasted. Who cooked it. Life in a hockey hotbed. No wonder Bergevin got frustrated. Let's ask the same question 3 times and expect the GM to same something different. Wow.
As a leaf fan I gotta be honest... everybody talks about how bad our media is LOL Credit to berg for not telling him to shut the f up
Haha for real man, media in Toronto and Montreal are so brutal sometimes.
@@garettgarner my French homie doesn’t sound French but guess what? Lmao gg
why do media always want the last word pat unprofessional know what youre saying
People should look at the roster of the 1992-1993 Canadiens. No big stars. Lot of journeyman players. Won the Stanley Cup.
No a Habs fan, but Jebus H.... those reporters are brutal. Bergevin did a good job handling their ignorance.
Pat Hickey, ladies and gentlemen 😂 Bergevin's face went dark at the end
😂😂😂
Hey Bergevin, Have you watched flush away??
The guy interviewing him about the goalie coach shouldnt be aloud to ask questions ever again. Your there to ask his opinion, not give your own. Habs had no other option to fix the goalie problem than to fire the coach, You want Marc to come right out and say Price is unmovable because of the 10m contract ? Well GMs dont do that and the interviewer should have known that. Moving him isnt even a option so the goalie coach is the one to go.
I'm not a habs fan,but I like this dude and I think they have all the parts,just in a slump.
Par hickey was such a doorknob with his retorts to Bergy’s answers. Glad bergy wasn’t jilted by his annoying stupidity
What a personable guy with the media.
Headline should read: news station and reporters fail at frustrating GM
Yooo KZhead comment section gets it! I can’t look at the Instagram comments anymore it frustrates me so much!
Sounds like the media asking Trump a question wtf
These journalist should be the ones asking questions to legault and challenge him!
When does he get heated ? I guess I missed that 🤪
Woah, if that's what the Toronto media thinks is a GM getting heated they need to rethink their video title. Stirring the pot as always, pure clickbait.
Please, watch some Torts
@@evanbrad7327 Exactly. Roll the Jim Mora playoffs rant for an even more animated -- or as SN says, heated press conference
Price is finished in Montreal. This spelled that out very clearly.
that or you can't read spelling lol
I don't see this as Bergevin getting frustrated.
"When they don't perform, that's when I come in and I try to help... I mean I fire everybody"😂😂
If you dont want to be asked hard questions then dont do a press conference
The reason why Bergervin is in this situation in that presser is because he is not telling the complete truth and the journalists can see it. He couldn't take such a decision without talking to Price, despite what he said. You cannot remove one guy's specific coach without talking to him first. Come on. So he is trying to protect Price most likely to protect also Waite's feelings, and because of that his answers make no sense.
Damn Marc is a gentleman! I wouldn’t have been nice at all with these stupid questions 😳
these reporters are brutal
Marc Bergevin is definetely the sexiest GM in the league
That flow is gorgeous
he's a good looking man that's for sure. Congrats to him.
Which goes to show it's hard to take a lower tiered team and make it a top tiered team without winning the amateur draft in a year where a concession player appears ie Crosby, Tavares, Stamkos, Kane, McDavid, Matthews. Winning the lottery is such a BIG step.
You can only dodge a bullet so many times and fire coaches Sooner than later The GM gets fired
i would say if mtl doesnt make playoff this year with all the players they has...bergevin is out before the draft
Why fire him he's done what a GM is supposed to do . Keep the spending to a minimum.
When you got only one major professional sports team in the city and all the focus is on you, man it’s like being the only child lol. FYI, MLS doesn’t count lol.
The Alouettes ?
We’re forever doomed as Montreal fans What player in his right minds wants to come play here and put up with this kind of farce? The media here is completely whacked out. Its so sad and frustrating.
I know, right? I think this is one of the reasons players don't want to come here. What's going to happen when Suzuki or Caufield have a slump? Are they gonna rip into them too?! Disgusting.
you can't blame the GM if the stars like price, and others don't produce. Set goals for each player to achieve.
That guy at the end got under my skin
at the end, the reporter Pat, knows about hockey and golf, a real expert F.Me
more checking&pressure the best D is a wide open offense!
Bergy: Is that good enough for you? Reporter: Yes yes... Bergy: yea? thank-you Reporter: ...."well thats your answer, that's fine"
Boy do these journalists look silly now.
Yikes...that was tense lol these reporters really gotta learn to check themselves though you'd think they were TMZ....sheesh
When you would've asked better and more relevant questions than the MTL journalists...
I think he was more frustrated by the bad questions
Guys asking the questions have more attitude when interviews are done like this
I think Montréal biggest problem is that Marc Bergevin is still the gm
Bergevin actually engages and tries to justify every decision. albeit be like a little kid, usually, gm/coaches would just give a one-word answer like there so much smarter then everyone else in the room
Im not a big fan of him but his hair is great.So combative with media though...Montreal loves him..
Stupid questions = stupid awnser.... Journalist are looking for a scoop...
Has a Denny Lemieux vibe to him. Show the reporters what high sticking means. Then they feel shame.
Bergevin should of been fired years ago he always sing the same song he fired 3 head coach 2 goal coach but Molson doesnt have the balls to fired him come on man
Why should he fire him , he's kept them under the cap for yrs . And that's the bottom line
you must feel dumb rn huh
Dang! These reporters sure are judgmental and arrogant in their own opinions. Wow!
Those "journalists" are savages. They don't even care about Bergie's answers. XD
Basu vs Bergevin best rivalry in hockey
XD
Bergevin has made good moves
Reminds me of the journalists in Boston. Also, Carey needed something new. Also, the Habs backup is a starter on a lot of teams. This is a good move. I'd compare it to a pitching coach. Sometimes you need to shake up how you are doing things. I like Sean Burke.
wake up montreal fire this clown
So the people complaining about the Media questions are the same people who constantly complain their team doesn't get media coverage. Interesting. Asking difficult questions is literally the job of the media. I'm curious, can a media person respond and tell me how many times when talking to a potential employer they were told to "always ask easy questions, never get the person upset and above all don't stir the pot." I'm guessing it's pretty close to zero.
Bergevin is the next on the list
That last reporter , what a tool
