There were a lot of terms thrown around during the Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup Final run. Cinderella run, the team of destiny, Canada’s team etc. Normally, when a team gets all the way to the Final and loses, the General Manager tries to make moves to improve the team right now, often mortgaging the future for success today.
That is not the path that Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin should take this offseason.
There is a good reason that this playoff run will be remembered for a long time into the future and got so many nicknames.
