Thanks Scott. At some point I have to write something about the organization itself. Not many in all of sports that function at this level. It's seamless.

My pleasure indeed. We have both been around to see several Habs regimes , and not all have run smoothly . Sam Pollack was the only other Habs GM that ran such a " tight ship " . It's clear, Molson / Hughes/ Gorton and Marty have created something special indeed. What a time to be a Habs fan.
You know they may never get within sniffing distance of a Cup. It's harder than it used to be. But you couldn't have a better run organization.
Well peronally I believe Demidov and Hutson will lead us to #25 and beyond. Their work ethic is incredible. But , I certainly agree it's definitely harder to hoist Lord Stanley than ever before. I believe our organization is run as smoothly as a Patek Phillipe 24 Karat Gold watch .
The Canadiens secret weapon, in my opinion, is France Margaret Belanger. She's the one who set the wheels in motion for this to become the best organization in hockey - aided and abetted by Chantal Machabee.
Between FMB in the exec, Hughes with his experience as an agent, and CM's experience as a journalist, they really do "get it" with the kids. The environment and culture they've created is something entirely new in pro sports.
And when I say kids, I'm talking about the veterans too, cause they're all kids to me 😂
I think you're right - no one has attempted anything like this and it's working brilliantly.
When you've got players in other markets mentioning it to the press, I think you're doing it right.
Yup.
Ha! You should do commercials.
Cheers 🤣😂
