As we reported earlier this evening, Marc Dumont, who was the liaison between the fans and the Montreal Canadiens organization, has just been informed of his surprise dismissal.
The Habs fired him via ZOOM, according to his own words, and he is visibly in shock.
There are many reactions as Dumont was a great liaison and resource for CH fans.
He was very popular with the fans and gave us great access to the players.
As we explain in the article above, the circumstances surrounding Dumont's dismissal are rather controversial and may have something to do with the "Carey Price and the Masterton votes" affair, according to many.
In short, some fans have unfortunately blamed the excellent Chantal Machabée for Dumont's particular dismissal.
The latter immediately made a point of correcting the situation.
"Please don't blame Chantal. She had nothing to do with it. We didn't even work in the same departments.
Thank you!"
"She is one of the nicest, warmest, funniest, best people in the world.
She has supported me the whole time. Chantal is amazing and deserves nothing."
