Jeff Gorton Has Lost Patience, and Changes Are To Be Expected in the Canadiens Organization
According to reputable Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman, Jeff Gorton has officially run out of patience.
Big changes could be on the horizon for the Canadiens, and this is significant news.
This morning on the 32 Thoughts podcast, Friedman shared the following:
Wow!
Impatience is clearly building within the Canadiens' front office, raising questions about what this means for players like Mike Matheson and Cayden Primeau, who both had a tough weekend.
Jeff Gorton (and probably Kent Hughes, too) is done with patience and tolerance
It looks like we're in for an interesting week.
«I've never seen Jeff Gorton this angry!»
It seems Jeff Gorton was serious earlier this season when he stated his desire to see the team compete for a playoff spot this year.
If it were up to you, what would you do to send a message to the team?
The early recall of Joshua Roy may have been made with this in mind, but it's clear the move hasn't delivered the desired results.
Roy, 21, has 0 points in four games this season with the Canadiens. He hasn't seen much ice time under Martin St. Louis, and don't be surprised if he's sent back to the Laval Rocket once Patrik Laine returns.
Let's not forget the Canadiens suffered two more losses over the weekend and are comfortably seated in last place in the Eastern Conference standings.
We're talking about a 6-3 loss to the Boston Bruins and a 4-3 defeat against the New York Rangers.
