Sunday’s Dump & Chase: Testing…Testing…

Nashville Predators 3, Carolina Hurricanes 1: PLAYOFF BOUND | On the Forecheck

I don’t know if Bergevin is necessarily worse at being a NHL GM than whoever would replace him, but he very much doesn’t seem like a kind human, and I don’t like him, and I’d like the Montreal Canadiens better if he were gone. So that’s my take on that.
