For this episode of the podcast Zone exit, a collaboration between 98.5 FM and Press, host Jérémie Rainville combed through Jeff Gorton’s performance with Philippe Cantin, Guillaume Lefrançois and Jeremy Filosa.
So…
According to Jeremy Filosa, it’s not clear who will be the big boss. According to Philippe Cantin, echoing his column, the fact that Gorton speaks only in English is a significant setback for the CH.
The press briefing was only in English. This is the new reality of the Canadian. It’s been more than 40 years since we experienced this. People say: “It’s okay, the important thing is to win”, as if we couldn’t win in French. I still think this is a significant step backwards.

About Patrick Roy …
If I were Patrick Roy, my expectations wouldn’t be very high. All week long, in the French-language media – which Gorton doesn’t read and listen to, by the way – pretty much everyone has said that Patrick Roy is not the super emotional guy he was when he was. player. First thing Gorton said: “Emotional guy.“I don’t know how you saw it, but it wasn’t very positive. […] I think Patrick knows he’s not Geoff Molson’s man anyway.

Also on the menu, everyone expects changes to take place. What will happen to the Carey Price case? Also, advanced statistics, ” a big piece of a team “, According to Gorton. About player development: Philippe Cantin believes that the CH must better define his identity, then develop his players according to the identity of his team.
And we take out the crystal ball. Ducharme, back next season? And who will be the CEO?

The deputy general manager, we will gradually allow him to communicate with the other general managers. Gradually. Quite a vote of confidence. This week, you have the right to two, if it’s going well, you can call three. It just doesn’t make sense.

If, today, we could count on a healthy team, we could better assess. The reality is that we have half a club. Say we take the team in the Stanley Cup final and put them on the ice, do we feel the need to get rid of everyone?
