It’s not unusual for a general manager to address the media early in the season. Marc Bergevin did that last season but the circumstances around the Montreal Canadiens were different. Back then, the team was losing, and when asked for an answer to this, Bergevin said the answer was in the room. And it looks like he took the podium early this year to do the same thing.
Obviously, things are a lot more positive with the Habs. The team sits third in the Atlantic Division with 14 points but still have the Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabres at their heels.
