In the life spans of General Managers in the NHL BG has been here for an incredibally short time. I am really surprized at the amount of people that want him gone. There are really great players on this team that are not performing... Something that no GM wants to deal with but sometimes have to. The real test of his might will be in how he deals with these guys.

The habs are not St. Louis so I don't think it is time for a fire sale... but it is clear that something in that room is not working. I think he has done all he can as a coach by this point. I think every player has played with every other player on the same line at some point this year. He has sat Theo to let him get his game back... he has juggled lines like crazy... he has even tried to bring in some toughness to protect the softies on the team. Saying that he is the wrong guy for the job is unfair... I could see if he brought us from cup contenders to bottom dwellers with terrible trades and signings, but he didn't. We are where most in the hockey world put us before the season started; on the cusp of making the playoffs. I wouldn't fire a guy for basically icing a team that is fufilling the hockey world's predictions.

Maybe the problem is with your (and most hab fans) expectations of the team right now. I am pretty sick of the losing seasons but building a winner has never happened overnight.
