The former boss has no intention of reversing his decision, now that he works in Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s quite fascinating to see someone who was once so accessible shut himself off like this. The Sabres even recently blocked local journalists, citing a busy schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Bergevin spoke with local Michigan media the very next day. We can agree that the message sent to Montreal fans is rather clear and direct.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Marinaro didn\u2019t fail to add his two cents regarding the current management.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the Canadiens\u2019 leadership carefully selects its preferred media faces.<\/p>\n<p>A widening gap between the Canadiens and the 98.5 airwaves<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest, the situation is, to say the least, peculiar with the official broadcaster. Kent Hughes reportedly hasn\u2019t given an interview to Mario Langlois in nearly three years.<\/p>\n<p>This dynamic raises questions about the organization\u2019s transparency toward its fans. The contrast with the era when the general manager was everywhere is striking today.<\/p>\n<p>In Bergevin\u2019s case, the break seems definitive and irreversible. He clearly prefers to focus on his role as assistant general manager, far from the Montreal pressure.<\/p>\n<p>We won\u2019t see him shopping around for a reconciliation with local sports airwaves.<\/p>\n<p>The Montreal chapter is truly closed for the man in the colorful suits.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on All Montreal Hockey<\/p>\n<p>POLL<\/p>\n<p>3 HOURS AGO|71 ANSWERS<\/p>\n<p>Former Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin has completely cut ties with Montreal media<\/p>\n<p>Do you understand Marc Bergevin\u2019s bitterness toward the Montreal media?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450918,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5103],"tags":[229,265,5,1749,4955,54671,264,21,5147,4,10845],"class_list":{"0":"post-450917","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-montreal-canadiens","8":"tag-buffalo-sabres","9":"tag-canadiens","10":"tag-hockey","11":"tag-kent-hughes","12":"tag-marc-bergevin","13":"tag-mario-langlois","14":"tag-montreal","15":"tag-montreal-canadiens","16":"tag-montrealcanadiens","17":"tag-nhl","18":"tag-tony-marinaro"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116032879656820220","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
