How ironic... A lot of people were saying that if the Tricolore lost in the first round to the Maple Leafs, Marc Bergevin would have been fired... However, he saved himself from the ejector seat, thanks to the prowess of
Carey Price, in particular, and some luck. The Tricolore were trailing in the series 3-1 and finally advanced to the next round in 7 games. Then, the Habs had an incredible run by sweeping the Winnipeg Jets in the second round, before beating the Golden Knights in six games to reach the Stanley Cup final. The Quebec team lost in the final to the mighty Tampa Bay Lightning, however, it was likely enough to keep Marc Bergevin in his job.
