Even without Visnovsky they have a better group of Dmen than Montreal.

Now you're silly. Markov is better than any of their Dmen. Martinek wouldn't make this team. Thomas hickey and Brian Strait, are you (frank)ing kidding me?

Markov is not what he once...Hamonic and Macdonald would be #1 and 2 right now on our D and none of their Dmen get pushed around the way Kaberle and Diaz do. Also, their bruiser is not 5'7.

Even at 40 million years old Kaberle is still better than Weber, Diaz may at some point be better than kabs is now or may be in a year, but i doubt he will ever be as good as Kabs was in his prime... Just saying...

He's got a role there, unlike our useless softies. Diaz and Kaberle are supposed to provide offense and puck movement to make up for their softness but they can't even do that at an NHL level.

Do you think there is a worse D unit than Montreal's current D?

I believe a lot of bs came about over one poop game against the leafs, the habs were in no way, shape, or form ready or willing to compete, so it isn't exactly the season gone for one poop game, the team is poop, we all know this, have known it for quite a while, and we all knew defense was gonna be the habs issue this year, nothing has changed, and likely wont even if PK the Elite joins the team, they will just suck a little less, hopefully...

No. They'll just punish Kitchener and Windsor some more. Kingston might be the most pathetic team in the CHL (Outside of like Prince Albert and those other remote teams) nobody wants to play there despite it being a decent city and pretty accessible.
- AdamFrench


Baie-Comeau was pretty the much same, but with the season they are having and with a coach with a pedigree like Veilleux behind the bench, they shouldn't have trouble anymore

I know French is harder to learn than English. But the situation is the same for Québec kids who have to go in the maritimes. I haven't heard much about franco kids bailing on 'say PEI or Cape-Breton.

I'm aware of that reality, don't worry. That's a huge reason why Sherbrooke will be able to attract anglo kids vs other 'Q Québec cities, because Sherbrooke has anglo schools at every level.

I can't speak for every teams, but I got coached by Judes Vallée (who coaches the Phoenix now and has coaches Victoriaville previously) and I fondly remember him telling us that it was important for us to learn english, because that's how it rolls in the 'Q. He seemed to think every practices were run in English. As I said, I wouldn't be surprised it wasn't always the case everywhere. But all in all, the terms we franco use in hockey are English terms, so a kid shouldn't be too lost following the directives.

That team has been pretty much bottom feeders since they joined the Q have they not?....

I love Hamonic, but that's ridiculous. Markov is heads above those two, even on one knee. Hamonic will be good.
