François Legault to Marc Bergevin: Habs GM job is harder than Premier’s

Quebec Premier François Legault has just commented on Marc Bergevin having been “relieved” as General Manager of the Montreal Canadians. Jeff Gorton will act as executive VP for hockey operations until a new GM is found.

François Legault wished Marc Bergevin all the best in his future endeavours, while implying that Bergevin’s job as general manager carries more pressure than his own job as premier.

“Thank you to Marc Bergevin for his 10 years of loyal service. The pressure is strong in Montreal for the general manager of the Canadiens. I understand that, I have almost as much pressure as Prime Minister ;-) I wish him good luck for the future.”

—François Legault

Merci à Marc Bergevin pour ses 10 années de loyaux services.
La pression est forte à Montréal pour un DG du CH.
Je comprends ça, j'ai presqu'autant de pression comme premier ministre. ;-)
Je lui souhaite bonne chance pour la suite.
