I think the Habs should fire Bergervin and hire Shack's girl Catherine Silverman as the new GM.......Lol.
I'm not sure that would pacify the twitter woke mob though......Maybe she could assist with coaching Carey Price et al.
Wait a minute that's what they have Sean Burke for.....Well she could pen a woke hit piece on why Burke is still employed in the NHL after his domestic assault charge when he was with Carolina. That toxic masculinity thing and all you know.
You have nothing to say to make your point. Your opinion is that of a tiny and shrinking minority.
I'm assuming that you're once again speaking for Turtle Boy as well or will he speak for himself?

Who's in who's head exactly,lol..........
As Dr.Phil is prone to say......It's okay to let go......
If you didn't know already, trying to engage him in intelligent debate/discussion is a slippery slope. I engage in dozens of interactions with intelligent and civil members (like yourself) of the Board every month. However, I do try to avoid him and his constant whining, nagging and ranting.
Dr. Jane Philpott said it best when she resigned from the Trudeau cabinet. Personal integrity is more important than party politics.

Everybody should just shut up and give the kid and the Habs time and space to work through his issue(s).
He admitted he made a mistake when he was 17. He was found guilty in a Swedish court and appropriately penalized. The lynch mob should let him get on with his career and life. Isn't that what we are doing with Auston?
Does that include Geoff Molson, Turtle Boy? Should he also shut up?
Unlike you, the owner of the team doesn't seem to think that it was a "gutsy" pick.
I suspect it would be interesting to hear your take on Molson admitting that they made a mistake. However, your past history indicates that you will simply turtle (unless somebody like Oracle speaks up for you first).
Life's too short to live in a shell.
And for about the 10th time there is not one intelligent answer to legitimate questions.
You lost our debate once you questioned her expertise and I showed that she was hired by an NHL team. You resort to the traditional right wing response of, "I don't believe it if it doesn't fit my narrative". I asked you on what basis do you not believe it and you dodged the question. She worked in their development program. She had enough expertise for them.
Turtle Boy called the draft pick a gutsy move and everybody should shut up about. Yet the owner agrees that it was a major error and the team let down their fans. How do you and your sidekick reconcile this difference of opinion?
Vigorous debating is enlightening for all parties concerned. It is healthy. But it is only a healthy debate when facts are acknowledged and admitted into that debate. Opinions can differ, but one has to give reasons for that opinion. That is healthy, respectable debating. You deflect and deny facts and darts turtles. There is nothing to respect in either of those approaches as far as debates are concerned.
I hope you aren't getting too irritated or frustrated and that is why you can only post memes that have nothing to do with a supposed discussion.
So a guy does something. The Swedes who are a pretty feminist bunch give him a small fine, really a glorified slap on the wrist.
He comes back to Canada and some people are saying he must never work again and go on the dole. I mean why stop at hockey right, shun the non believer shuuuunnnn him.
Yet I am sure a lot of these are all for rehabilitating and not punishing murderers, robbers and rapists. Well maybe not rapists because they target women and women are special.
It's a load of bullshit. He pulled a youthful indiscretion, it didn't make it to the internet. He did his "punishment"

Meanwhile Trudeau paid a terrorist $10mm. Go figure.
Meanwhile, we are also told to never say anything about Karla Homolka who got a sweetheart deal from the NDP government. Go figure.

Because you gave up the debate and accept that Silverman has hockey culture cred and Geoff Molson is of the same opinion as she? Sure.
Just let go that you feel she doesn't have hockey expertise and cred.
Mr. Oracle, sir: it takes emotional maturity to let it go and it takes emotional maturity to be able to consider different perspectives.
You're asking the impossible here.
Only one of you has the emotional maturity to put an end to this nonsense - you have the power and it won't stop until you allow it to.
That is definitely more convenient for you and your pet turtle than to actually engage in a discussion if it was a gutsy or gutless pick.
I understand your position.
The public, the media, the PM, the owner of the team and the money hungry sponsors all disagree. It was a bad move by Bergevin.
The public, you have a poll on that? Even so fuck the public. People are morons.
The PM hasn't resigned over him groping some chick nor his blackface so really his view on the topic is full of shit. For that matter I doubt the other people kicking up a stick are now refusing to support the Liberal party. Seriously, the PM, you don't see a problem with this? It's a bit like Trump slagging someone for being a liar.
The media shouldn't have a view, they should report the facts. They seem to be very focused on what various women think.
As for money hungry sponsors, again who gives a fuck what they think, they have no backbone, they are money hungry. Regardless of what they actually think, they will throw the kid under a bus to appear correct.
He did his time. All of the above in a similar context would say if you do your time you have paid your debt and it's time to reintegrate into society. Now weather you agree with that concept of you are of the opinion of throw away the key/turn criminals into soylent green, it is what they would claim to believe. Even the fucking Swedes say it was no big deal considering he only got a 1700 dollar fine.The Swedes didn't put him in Jail. They basically figured it was the equivalent of a massive speeding ticket.
He was a young offender. The man with general consensus generally agree with young people getting a second chance. He shared some photos he shouldn't have to a few people in private. He didn't shoot a man in Reno to watch him die. He didn't drug and rape women. He didn't try to exterminate a race. He didn't go to a Justin Beiber concert, and even if he did most of the people who would create a stink over this are the sorts who think such people once they are done paying their price paid their price.
It's just another story of people getting their panties in an uproar. Did he do wrong, sure but again FEMINIST SWEDEN didn't think it was a big deal and some judge over there presided over the trail with all the facts.
There is a whole lot of inconsistency on this.
Also I'd bet you dollars to donuts that this will all blow over by the fall, much like the outrage over sport strikes. People huff and puff but they will be back.
The sponsors who are threatening to pull their sponsorships tell us that. They have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to max out profits, so they follow the money. They know that by tacitly approving the Mailloux pick it would cost them more money than by taking a stance. They always follow the money which represents the majority of their market.
You don't have to agree with them, but that's the reality.
The kid barely did anything wrong, it wasn't that serious...no assault or physical action...he did something immature...and holy fuck to the over reaction, I mean, the PM gets involved?
