To fire or not to fire.

That is the question, for Canadiens owner, president and CEO Geoff Molson, on the fate of GM Marc Bergevin.

In 2018, which is actually the year 25 A.C., the 25th year After (Last Stanley) Cup, we find ourselves pondering the Montreal Canadiens’ future.

The winter of our hockey discontent is cold and long.

My story on Bergevin’s performance, and why it is time to move on for the franchise, generated many comments far and wide.

My poll question on what Molson should do with Bergevin had respondants voting 76 per cent in favour of firing the Habs GM immediately.

The reaction ended up having this long-suffering Habs fan answering questions on the 91.9 Sports radio morning show, Du Sport, Le matin with radio hosts Michel Langevin and Enrico Ciccone.

I was grilled and cold-hard facts were demanded by Langevin and Ciccone.

Hockey lingo ensued, points were debated, but throughout this journalistic waterboarding, the words of the many Habs fans who wrote to me danced in my head.
