Like a Boss #14 | #AskGeoffCHC

HabsTV sat down with Geoff Molson in the National Bank Director's Lounge at the Bell Centre as the Canadiens president and CEO took to Facebook and Twitter to answer fan questions about mulligans, an out-of-the-box fundraiser idea, and the future of Canadiens fandom.

Question from @HabsHappy on Twitter
:
Hi Mr. Molson,
You own what are probably two of the most prestigious companies here in Montreal, and I'm blessed to be a fan of both.
Name me three regrets you have as a Habs owner, that you would take back if you had a chance. I don't expect an answer, but as long as you are reflecting...
First of all, thank you for being a fan of our hockey team, and Molson beers. Both are fantastic products.
You know, I tend to be on the positive side when I think back, and I tend to think forward. There's always little things that you do, that you learn from, that perhaps you wouldn't have done if you could start over, but in general, I'm pretty proud of the work that we've accomplished.
Obviously we haven't achieved the ultimate goal of winning a championship, but we are striving to get there, and every year we're trying to get better and better. This year was a disappointment, and we took a little step back, but we're going to come back in September, stronger, and much more prepared to to have a good season.
So I tend to not think of these things as regrets, but more learning experiences, and there have been many of them in my career.

:
Can you and Joey Saputo plan a charity soccer match between the Habs and the Montreal Impact? Everyone enjoys, and the Canadiens and Impact foundations raise money for the kids!
Thank you for the question.
I think it's an interesting idea, and it's something that we'll talk about as a group, to see if it's worth doing.
I think if the Montreal Canadiens played the Impact at soccer, it would be a bit of a blowout, but maybe we'll get the soccer team to come and play us on the ice, and see what happens.
Question from @UtopiaUniverse on Twitter
:
You are a proud Canadian and Quebecer. How do you perceive the sense of attachment to the Canadiens that people across this country share?
Will the new generation of fans who have never seen a championship team take up the torch when the time comes?
Thank you for the question.
It's certain that one of the things we're really proud of at the Canadiens, is how our fans pass their fandom down from generation to generation. When you're born a Canadiens fan, you stay a Canadiens fan for life, and we appreciate that.
Obviously we want to win a championship to really bring back that sense of pride. We're going to do everything we can to succeed, but I have no doubt that we have the best fans in the world, and they'll continue to support us.
