Quoting: KSIxSKULLS
If we miss the playoffs it changes everything of course. As it would with every team. What I'm saying is long term things. Typical Montreal fans want him gone right now because they are panicking. This team keeps getting better and better every year since Bergevin started here. Yea 2015 wasn't great, Price was hurt and we relied on him alot. But every year we rely on him less and less.
Really? He did?
2009-2010: 88 points, eighth in the east, Eastern Conference Finalists (lost to Philadelphia)
2010-2011: 96 points, sixth in the east, ECQF (lost to Boston)
2011-2012 (season before Bergevin): 78 points, 15th in east, missed playoffs
2012-2013 (48GP): 63 points, second in the east, ECQF (lost to Ottawa)
2013-2014: 100 points, third in the Atlantic, Conference Finalists (lost to NYR)
2014-2015: 110 points, first in the Atlantic, ECSF (lost to Tampa Bay)
2015-2016: 82 points, sixth in the Atlantic, missed playoffs
2016-2017: 103 points, first in the Atlantic, ECQF (lost to NYR)
Things have absolutely not gotten better every year since Bergevin got there. Unless you reset the scheme after the Price injury, 103 points is still a decrease, and it ended with an embarassing exit to the Rangers in the first round.
I don't think his resume says he should be fired YET, but man, he's sure trending in that direction. I don't think that's a refutable statement.
