The Montreal Canadiens‘ acquisition of veteran goaltender Antti Niemi Tuesday was a clear sign that Marc Bergen learned his lesson.
The 2015-16 season provided Montreal Canadiens fans with their fair share of nightmares, to say the least. Carey Price‘s early season knee injury emphasized the organization’s lack of depth in goal.
The team got off to a promising start, but an injury to their MVP proved too much to handle. That off-season, GM Marc Bergevin was heavily criticized for the lack of transparency surrounding Carey Price. He was also criticized regarding the team’s unwillingness to solidify the goaltender position and having to rely on rookie Mike Condon heavily.
