Had they not matched...THEN the PR team would have been in full go mode.

I dunno, there is a LOT of media availability right now to just keep saying they are going to match, and how much they love the player and how he wants to be in Carolina and how they love the contract and how they are surprised the Habs thought it would work and how the Habs got played yadda yadda yadda.
Me thinks they protest too much.
Bergevin made them look vulnerable. NHL owners don't buy big public facing sports teams to look vulnerable, and they definitely don't want to look too poor to pay top tier player prices.
I'm not saying they won't match it, but I will believe it when the paper work is submitted to the league.
