GM Joker

The Montreal Canadiens have hired a General Manager, and contrary to the title, it is not in fact, the Joker from the Batman series.  Marc Bergevin, who in his time as an NHL player, was a well-known prankster and joker, was hired by the team to be the General Manager.  His previous office experience includes being a scout for the Blackhawks in 2010 and an assistant General Manager a year later.  For those keeping score at home, Bergevin does fit the pre-requisite of being able to speak French, so please don't send complaint letters to the Canadiens' owner.  Whether Bergevin can succeed where Bob Gainey and Pierre Gauthier failed is anyone's guess, but one wonders if he'll prank Scott Gomez on the first day of mini-camp.
