The Montreal Canadiens: Professional Hockey's Bergevin
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- Bergevin (n) - A person or group of people whom repeatedly shoot their team's in the foot with absolutely, inane decisions. Does not interefere when star players are being thrown under the bus. Very good looking French-Canadian. Prone to throwing the puck into their own net.
How to best describe the Canadiens: This is a bit of a tough situation. A team that should, for all intents and purposes, be a cup contender is mired in the doldrums of futility. The culprits can be identified pretty easily: Godawful management and organization-wide ego. Come and see for yourself how the Canadiens have pissed off their fans this time.
And now they’re in the Finals. Another successful reverse jinx by Tree
(Edit) Soooo... this aged well
All it took was for Toronto to choke in the 1st Round
DaRealConMan This one may be the one to end them all. We say that about every Leafs choke, but I don’t see how any franchise could recover from something that embarrassing. I’d be shocked if Toronto wins a Cup in my lifetime... and I’m in my teens
I wish the reverse jinx worked for Minnesota sports.
Fat Children Minnesota sports teams have an unbreakable curse. They’ll never get free of it
He did say that everything would have to go right for them to be in contention, and it did. Last year, they were 24th in the league at the time of the stoppage due to COVID and were trending downwards. The only thing causing them to not miss the playoffs again was the pandemic. This year, the divisional realignment made it so that they played in the weakest division in the NHL, and still barely managed to qualify for the playoffs in a shortened season. This is a team that typically starts off the year strong, but fade down the stretch. This year was no different, they started off well, but failed their way into the playoffs, losing 14 of their last 21 games. First round, Toronto manages to choke, as Toronto does. Second round, Mark Scheifele brutalizes Jake Evans. The Habs lose about as unessential a player as there is to their team, the Jets lose a top line player, Montreal gets galvanized as the Jets fall into disarray. Golden Knights: Marc-André Fleury screws up and hands over game 3 on a silver platter, turning the series around.
Sad thing is no NHL Team from Canada has won the Stanley cup since the 92-93 Canadians
LordLowe and the fucking maple laughs look to be the nearest to the cup now.
Andrew Behrend nah I think the Oilers will be 😂
Canadiens
They've gotten to the final 5 times, 4 them went to game 7...but none of them won.
94 Canucks, 04 Flames, 06 Oilers, 07 Senators (in 5), and 11 Canucks. That's gotta suck.
Right now, all eyes are on the Senators.
July 2021: This didn't age well
October 2021: This aged well
And now BERGEVIN has been fired
@@drshallow69 Should have happened much earlier tbh
I’m here after they overcame a 3-1 series deficit against the Leafs. Thanks for allowing us to laugh at Toronto again!
To be fair, even Leaf fans saw that one coming
Here when they are 1 game away from the cup finals
here after they are in the cup finals
Here after they hot smashed
And they got destroyed in the finals. They had no right being there and they know it.
Who's here after the Canadiens advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals the Urinatingtree curse lives on
Me
Yep I'm here
Yup lol
At least he makes these posts. You have to respect him for it.
Yep
UrinatingTree is the most underrated channel on CZcams
NYR Fan21 yes it's either him or qjb
Even though they lost to Tampa in the Stanley cup finals, I think it's safe to say that Bergevin has saved his job. My hat goes off to him. What a job he's done.
Edit: This is one awkward comment now.
For only a few more months...
And now Bergevan is up for fuckin GM of the year, my how things change
and now they’re in the Final
And now the finals are over..who won?
And now he drafted Mailloux. Nothing's changed.
And now he’s not a gm anymore
I had to come back here after the Canadiens finally made it back to the Finals, I don’t know how they managed to pull it off but I really have to commend Bergevin for finally getting his shit together and fielding a competitive team that even Guy Lafleur would be proud of. Also, we’re gonna look back at that Cary Price contract as not a laughingstock but as a move that basically saved the franchise’s reputation, we laughed at it and the team but Cary Price having the postseason of his life this year made it worth every penny.
The thing was it wasn't even him all that much. It's just like everything he did somehow worked out.
I still don't get it.
@@UrinatingTree won’t matter if you don’t get it..your viewers are still gonna remind you of how “wrong” you are
Just for them to get their dicks kicked in 3 games in a row.
@@IHateMyAccountName lol right!
@@UrinatingTree I'm not sure what Bergevin's doing is sustainable in the long run. Price is still good, but he has clearly come down from his peak and I think his window for winning a Cup title as a #1 goalie has closed.
“The arrogance of the 70s team with the performance of a Trabant.”
RIP
I want a gif where the canadiens get fed too much championships then throw up and fall into shit
holy fuck thats brilliant
You mean like a Mr. Creosote?
You don't need a Gif for that, you just need to watch them play.
UrinatingTree From Monty Python! Meaning of Life was a good movie.
feamtortress2 fuck u bitch
Oh this shall be gooooooood.
Bergevin is just too hot right now.
Are you sure about that ?
BUT THEY CAN'T WIN AGAINST N E W E N G L A N D !
I think dumpster fire is the better term to describe him.
That Price contract is near unmovable...and is about ready to pay off in 2021 👍
This gets recommended to me after they reach the finals
And now Marc Bergievin is gone. What a sign of relief. Time to hire the next big fish in Jeff Gorton.
And now they’re in the Stanley cup finals
Where they got steamrolled, proving they had no right being there lol.
And now they just finished their worst ever season
Now they suck again
And now they have the 1 overall pick.
@@Quole1234Vegas didn’t deserve to be there either since they choked to Montreal
And now they pulled a 2002-03 Hurricanes and went from a Cup Finals appearance to dead last in the league (and becoming the 1st team in NHL history to finish 32nd). Yet Another Tree vid that ages like milk re-ages perfectly.
Urinatingtree you son of a gun every video you make is solid gold
Dkplaysallday except when it’s made on x team
I think it's more like titanium or iridium
We all know why we’re back here…
Aaaaaaand the Habs just made the Stanley Cup Finals. I’m not saying “this video aged like milk” because what Tree said was true at the time. Montreal just made the right moves behind the bench and on the ice and the results have spoken for themselves.
Your not going to say it bc of how he exposed yall in the last video😂😂
I didn’t say “this aged like milk” on his Sixers video before they even got past the second round like all those idiots did. I know better than that.
No, they didn't. They got extremely lucky.
After tonight, this comment will have aged like milk.
@@philly_sports1558 ahh milk, such a delicate thing isn’t it.
Everyone getting ready to come back like “ha! You did it again tree! Doesn’t matter if it was completely true when it came out!”
Plus if there was no covid induced North Division, doubt the Habs even make the plagoffs
@@JonathanLau one, spellcheck,
two no, it’s not probably it’s they wouldn’t have. If the divisions were the same the habs record wouldn’t have been enough
I just know Spanos has something to do with this.
RayLow92 fuck you Spanos!
I love the price is right music snuck in there..makes me laugh!
You Reverse Jinks this team too?! You are the master at reverse jinking teams
Probably should have waited until the finals were over to say something
this video turned out to age perfectly
Thinking the same thing
PK is my favorite player in the NHL and I'm disgusted with how Montreal treated him on his way out. This video was well deserved.
he got kicked because he is black lets be honest if your not white, or French Canadian or you cant pass off as white your fucked
Brian Mackenzie true. I didn't want to say it and be accused as racist. But it sickens me how many people in hockey are actually racist. It made me stay away for a bit because i thought hockey fans didn't want me around, until i saw pk subban and it showed me hockey is really for everyone no matter what you are
Anton Riley I wouldn't say its hockey its more of the people who run the team and their fans for some part P.K Subban had a personality and a lot of people don't like that in hockey, of players having some swagger because they are to old fashion in some ways
Brian Mackenzie true. But to someone who has watched the nba most of his life (the sport where ego is everywhere) pk is actually not even close. He's a cool guy. It's actually nice to have some confidence and swag sometimes, just don't be cocky.
Anton Riley ya PK is a saint compared to those guys but for the old guard hockey guys he has to much personality
Wow, have you seen the Canadiens lately? Tree must be wrong, this video didn't age well at all.
With the way the Habs are playing, they're a shoo-in to make the playoffs.
*_"The Habs miss the playoffs by two points"_*
Howie Morenz, Rocket Richard, Boom boom Geoffrion, Georges Vezina, Jack Laviolette, Elmer Lach, Newsy Lalonde, Jacques Plante, Henri Richard, Dickie Moore, George Hainsworth, and Toe Blake are all rolling in their graves...
How does the NHL's most decorated team become such a Lolcow? Did the Roy trade really fuck up Les Habitants that much?!
Aidinho #25 hey man leave Hainsworth to Toronto, buddy had a GAA under 1 for us.
David Bennett He got 22 shutouts with us...
But it's okay, they've handily put down the Penguins in the play-ins to make it into the first round
**Their hopes of going any further are quickly dashed by a rising Philadelphia team**
Oh my god dude, it's a 3 year old video.
It discusses that specific season and trades, pickups and whatnot leading uo to the circumstances that led to that specific season.
What's with dudes saying 'this didn't age well...'
Like somehow this video is about the Habs now. Sheesh.
Oh, and Bergevin finally got the axe as of this comment btw.
As a French Canadian Habs fan, this was hilarious and totally warranted! haha And thanks for the efforts with the French in there. ;)
And now Bergevin and co. have been fired.
3 step master cup plan
1. Treat PK Subban like shit then trade him
2.????
3. Profit
John Pawl 2. --> trade your other young players/prospects and dont even give them a chance
We are at step 3
Looks like he was right on that bum Subban
2020-21: The Canadiens make an exciting Cinderella run to the Stanley Cup Finals before ultimately losing to the Lightning.
2021-22: The Stanley Cup run turns out to be a complete and total fluke. The Canadiens follow up their Cup Final appearance by not only becoming the worst team in the NHL, but are on pace to be one of the absolute WORST TEAMS OF ALL TIME, possibly in the conversation with the Senators and Sharks of the early 90s and the “We’re A Team” Senators. At least they’re not in 1974-75 Capitals territory? Regardless, Bergevin and the head coach are both fired in the middle of the season.
This video went from aging poorly to aging like wine.
Atleast they aren't Arizona?
But hey, there is quite a lot of potential these next few years. They definitely pulled it off at the trade deadline for getting a multitude of picks and good prospects.
Not really a fluke when several players of that cuprun left to free agency before next season.
No it went from wine to poorly then back to wine
@@atl4sports 1st Overall Pick-like fine wine. Even better, the habs can still laugh as Toronto dies in Game 7 again, this time by a former Ottawa Senator in Nick Paul.
A year later and i just fucking realized that clip you kept cutting to was Marc Bergevin throwing the puck into his own net holy FUCK💀💀💀💀
One of the biggest hockey bloopers of all time. To this day, I have no idea how that goal counted.
timestamp?
The Bergivens are going to the cup finals
UT, I just gotta say. I live in Europe. I have never in my entire life seen neither hockey, baseball nor football. In fact, I hate sports in general and do my very best to avoid anything related to sports in general.
And yet your voice and jokes have just made me subscribe. Make of that whatever you will.
I love how this has been recommended to me after they made the Stanley cup final. My heart says/wants Montreal to win the cup but my mind says Tampa slaps them silly cuz we can’t have nice things
Marc Bergevin just got fired now
“Merely content with slinging shit everywhere, that they hope it turns into a Monet painting”
Looks like that plan finally worked.
Who's back here after the Canadiens beat the Penguins? lol
Yep
Chazz Treat And now they might go to a game 7 against the hot flyers
@@brandonbari40 aaaaaaaand they lost!
I'm here after they got shut down by Philly
I forgot they had to play the Pens and beat them to actually make it to playoffs
Its hilarious that this popped up in my recommended after the Canadiens are going to the cup at the 4 seed in the north division lol
The Canadians are trying to beat the 49er's record for fastest transition from Contender to Basement Dweller. Another Great Video, I watch these on loop just for your god-like voice.
Just wow! Amazing work. Even threw in a smattering of French, Canadian politics and geography and a reference to the Trabant. All with the background of accordian music. This is a masterpiece of video, let alone sports journalism!
Geoff Molson the Dean Spanos of the NHL
Eugene Melnyk suits the Dean Spanos award of worst owner of the NHL more than Molson, #FyouSpanos #MelnykOUT
LordLowe he’s more incompetent than other things
I'm feeling depre- oh hey, UrinatingTree just uploaded a new video. Now I feel much better. *_grabs popcorn_*
It’s fascinating to look back on these videos years later to see the antiquated thinking of NHL front offices that graced us not that long ago
The Jinx Strikes again, Habs about to goto the cup final.
And now they are!
And now they’re gone!
Karl Alzner left to the Capitals to join the Canadians because he wanted to win. The Capitals went on to win the Stanley Cup while the Canadians missed the playoffs...let that sink in
Stonks
Kind of like Hossa leaving Pittsburgh to join Detroit after the Red Wings won the 2008 Cup Finals over the Penguins. Only to lose to his former team the following year.
and now the canadiens are in a scf
And now they are heading home to even more disappointed fans
i love the preemptive “this aged poorly” when in reality he was always right
ye that finals appearance was a fluke
The Four dislikes were from the Canadians upper management..... Sucks to be them.
I'm a Habs fan and I agree the management needs to be tossed out like last week's milk
thetotalshit13 they should’ve been tossed out a while ago
Who's here after he got fired?
Who’s here after the Habs make the finals?
Who’s here after they lost
Looking back at this video it’s hilarious how many people felt this video aged like milk. That team was so flawed and only made their Finals run thanks to playing in a weak All-Canada division. Their run to the Finals had “flash in the pan” written all over it, yet somehow Habs management thought they were the cream of the crop and acted that way heading into 2021-22.
Now, they’re back to picking up after a lot of bad contracts and playing horribly.
-Price isn’t even playing this season. 4+ years left on his contract with a no movement clause.
-Petry is becoming deadweight. Why Montreal signed a guy in his mid-30s for 4 more years with a modified NTC I won’t understand.
-Weber is likely not gonna play another game. This will hurt Nashville more when he inevitably retires but let’s not deny how much it’s holding back Montreal either.
-Lost Kotkaniemi to a goddamn offer sheet
-2 more years of Drouin. No, that contract will never be worth what Montreal gave up. Oh yeah, he’s injured too.
-Guys like Dvorak, Hoffman, Anderson, Armia, Edmundson, and Savard aren’t bad but are eating away at valuable cap space. They were signed in the hopes that Montreal would keep competing, not for whatever the hell is happening there right now.
The video has aged like wine.
Yep, management gets it high and takes desperate measures avoiding common sense to get back there again. Little did they know they just shot themselves in the foot.
Fluke cup runs happen all the time. Look at Vegas in 2018 as an expansion team or the Bruins in 2019 with all the top seeds gone. If the Canadiens had won in 2021 they could have finished dead last in 2022 and it wouldn't matter because its all about rings. As it is, they still haven't won since 1993 while the Rangers, New Jersey, Colorado, Detroit, Dallas, Tampa, Carolina, Anaheim, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington and St Louis have all won since.
Who else in back here after Bergevin was fired?
Montreal went from the basement of the NHL to the finals then back to the basement
Great video as always man. Keep it up.
I'm a Habs fan and I have no rebuttal. Pretty much nailed it.
As a Bruins fan, this makes me smile from ear to ear.
THE BRAIN SPECIALIST As another Bruins fan, I can 100% confirm this
Horton scores The Bruins knockout Montreal !!!! Jack Edwards has an erection ever chara hits someone
As a Rangers fan, I agree 100%
Ur team is nothing but a goon squad. Go and lick somebody else's face, u disgusting excuse for a fan base. Marchand is no one Canada ever wants back, keep him as u did with Justin Beaver! He is a MIRRIOR of Bruins Fans, Loud, Obnoxious Arrogant, Morley Abhorrent among all else utterly, repulsively DISGUSTING!!!
Well, the Drouin part have become more revelant, as he is taking an indefenite hiatus.
Long-haired Bergevin is unstoppable
You forget his pornstach
Now Marc Bergevin is fired
Here after Bergevin got canned.
It's hilarous looking back at this and seeing how terribly this aged like usual for Tree. The trade for Weber turned out better for Montreal long-term then it did for Subban and Nashville, Beaulieu was nothing once he left Montreal, Shipachyev didn't pan out in the NHL, Radulov absolutely sucked after 2 years in Dallas, Drouin turned out to not be a dirty Russian (though we never did give him an actual goal-scorer to pass to, the thing we acquired him to do.)
Though fast-forwarding 5 years it's hilarious before he was fired how incredible Bergevin got. Trading Pacioretty for our current Captain and young 1st line Center, drafting Cole Caufield and Kaiden Guhle. Draft gems in RHP, Jake Evans, Sean Farrell, and Joshua Roy (hopefully 5 years down the line this comment hasn't aged terribly), signing Arber Xhekaj who's a current fan-favourite and possibly bottom pair mainstay for a long while as the last UFA signing before he was fired. Bergevin left the team with a majority of their great prospects and his fingerprints will be all over at least 1 Montreal Cup within the next decade with how great our development system is, thank you Tree for jinxing yourself once again. It might have taken a while but glad the Habs have gotten themselves in the best possible position before a dynasty.
I came here after another freaking defeat against the Sens.
And for the record, the Canadiens haven't been a French Canadian team for a while.
The last clip should have been the NESN feed of Horton’s series winner. What better way to rub it in than to have Jack Edwards gleefully proclaim: “The Bruins knock out Montreal!”
Not even five seconds in and I already hit like. This dude is a legend.
That Marleau goal at the last game summed up the Habs season
AND I SAW IT LIVE!!!
Anyone else get this recommended now that they’re in the Stanley Cup Final? Lol
yup
DUCHENE TRADE WHERE IS IT???
lol Glatrus it's in Ottawa
Not in Montreal lol
lol Glatrus ottowa
I would love a video on that trade, that'd be funny as all hell
just wanted a duchene vid
UT got me so into hockey, I’m forcing my future kids to play and I hope to see them critiqued in a UT video down the road
bergevin really did pull his ultimate bergevin on this team. and the red suit helped too lol
UrinatingTree, new meme for NHL: Bergevin, HOW MUCH DID YOU DRINK!?!?!?
Montreal after 5 games of playoffs:
Offence: 4 goals
William Nylander: 4 goals
Alex Galchenyuk: 3 points
Since you're comment, they've gone 5-0
The Habs just lost the finals. But hey they didn't get swept!
1:26- 1:29 I was at the preds vs Habs game and when Shea scored no one got upset we clapped. He was our best player before foresburg or any of the super good players
Lol Carey Price should go to a different team like Patrick Roy did 20 years ago
Who's going to take on that contract, though?
Wouldn’t mind having price on the flyers, have someone who can stop a puck between the pipes for a change, the canadiens can have Elliot
UrinatingTree salary retention but even with that it'll be pennies on the dollar
Colorado again xd?
I think a trade with Calgary before Price signed the extension could have made sense since Calgary has goalie prospects who look to be great but are a year away. They've also got two young centers and could offer one in the deal (something MTL desperately needs) along with another piece or two.
It's way too late with the extension signed and Smith in Calgary though. Only way a trade happens is if another big contract goes the other way a la Weber/Subban.
Ahh the Candians.. The New York Knicks of hockey.
and the cowboys. all the fanfare in the world with the most batshit crazy front office.
As a habs fan, this comment is insulting. And I like it.
Samuel shaffer Nah, that'll always be the Leafs. More fitting characteristics.
At least the Habs won at least one title in my lifetime, unlike the Knicks.
I'd have to give that honor to the Maple Leafs. Great legacy, no championships since the late 60s-early 70s.
It wasn't just Therrien that hated Subban though, some of his teammates had feuds with him as well unlike Roy. Plus, even if the team itself is most likely not gonna make the playoffs once again (sigh) Weber is playing a lot better than Subban right now, so it looks like we won the trade in a way. (Do feel sorry for Subban though)
But I do admit we screwed up with Markov, Price, Radulov, Alzner and maybe Sergachev as well. Lol
3:08-3:17 (especially love the "Oh no!" At 3:16) and 3:29-3:39 are the best parts in this video. 😂
Also, anyone who says Subban was traded because he's black or "wasn't french enough", just shut up please! You don't know that.
The Los Angeles Lakers: NBA's latest bacterial swamp
The Dallas Cowboys: Professional Footballs OTHER Pharisee
Or the NBA's boys club
We need the same no
They still have the second most championships in the nba. They just have been awful for 4 years and have a guy who has too much hype around him only because of his father..... on second thought he might have to make a lol cow for how the lakers got ran to the ground.
Dwight Howard is just too good right now
Since Bergevin just traded Glachenyuk for Max Domi, I have to come back to this.
What di you think of that trade now ?
Turns out we won that trade.
Max Domi is just too good right now
3:35 kills me every time 😂😂😂
He evidently drank the whole goddamn liquor store
9/13/23: that contract totally aged like milk because evidently Price just retired
*Sacrebleu!*

I agree as a Leaf fan and a Torontonian, Montreal is the holy land of hockey in Canada
Looking back Bergevin Bergevined his way into dumping a soon to be garbage Subban
At the time, this video was absolutely correct, looking back, Bergevin looks like a wizard with some of his timing moves.
Here after their Cinderella run. Great video Bergevin was a clown. You should make a video on the Rangers next. Long overdue.
Who's here after Bergevin was fired
I guess you’re right three years later everything did go right for the Habs. Who knew that this team would make it to the Stanley Cup Finals. Go Habs Go!

You said it perfectly, things need to pan out perfectly (which they won't) for the habs to be contenders at any point over the next decade. Sigh, we can only pray and cry as we watch the leafs be perennial contenders...
Is there a frencher image than Beregevin in front of a habs screen with a tight black turtleneck and oversized horn rim clear glasses?
Needs a beret whilst holding a baguette.
While smoking a Gauloises.
Gotta fit a white flag in there somewhere.
