Arpon Basu has been covering the Montreal Canadiens since the turn of the millennium. After 22 years, he knows the inner workings of the Bell Centre, senior management and the inner workings of the team very well. In episode 198 of the Tellement Hockey podcast on Radio-Canada, Arpon Basu revealed a shocking piece of information about former Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin. Fifteen months after his firing, the dust has finally settled. A new management has taken over and the culture of secrecy that reigned in the organization seems to be slowly disappearing. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/RC_Sports/status/1565050888221327361'> </a></blockquote></div> It must be said that the hiring of Chantal Machabée was unanimous in the hockey community. The fans were thrilled, and the women were thrilled with the announcement. Her arrival was refreshing in the message the team wanted to convey. We had to reconnect with the journalists, but also with the general public. People like to be able to gossip about what the players have said or the rumours surrounding their favourite team. The relationship with the media has greatly improved over the months following Marc Bergevin's departure. Why is that? Arpon Basu, founder of The Athletic, commented on the subject on the So Hockey podcast. In the media world, it's an open secret among journalists. Marc Bergevin has reportedly told his players that the media are the enemy. How many times Marc Bergevin had the answers, but preferred not to spread the rumours. We can remember the episodes related to Carey Price's injuries at the beginning of the calendar. They wanted to keep the fans interested in the team. A dishonest way to control information. In part, this is what caused his loss.
