It is pretty ignorant of a guy that speaks 2 languages to not learn a completely different one to address the people that have never bothered to learn the most common one in their country.

Yes, no one in Quebec speaks English. No one in Quebec starts learning English at 7, and every Anglo speaks French.

No, that's not what you said (well, it was not very far off), but you misinterpreted what I said the same way. I'm not saying that he should have spoken French fluently, neither that he's an bumhole for not doing so. He was great on the ice and in the community, but I just think that after being treated in Quebec, it would not have been too much to at least tell a couple of sentences in French. Yes, I'm a dangerous communist, ecologist separatist.

He acknowledged in the last couple of years that he should have done a little more.

So he should not have bought that scanner that cost him over 1M for the hospital that treated him but instead should have said a few sentences in French?

So you succumbed to the pressure? You obviously speak english well enough, so in the end you get to hear him speak in his 2nd language which he's quite comfortable in. I just don't get that he should have to learn a 3rd, when people have ample opportunity to learn a 2nd language and choose not to.

Every Hab fan has pretty much the same notion as to the type of player that could be added to help for a deep playoff run. I keep hearing names like Clowe, Malone, even Parros out of Florida. While I agree Clowe would be a great addition, I fear the asking price far out weighs the return. San Jose would be looking for one of our 2nd round draft picks and one of our promising young defense prospects. Malone has 2 years left at 4.5 million dollars, after this season. After Bergevin successfully managed to unload Cole's remaining salary on the Stars, I really don't see him taking on a the same contract for an weaker player then Cole. As for Parros, the truth is the guy is feared around the NHL, however his play leaves a little to be desired. Too slow for the Habs fourth line. Is really a 5-7 minute kind of guy, which doesn't suit Therrien's penchant for rolling 4 lines.
There is a player in Edmonton who plays just like Clowe. Is almost as big, a little faster and is only 28 years old. Ryan Jones!!
To MTL- Ryan Jones
To EDM- Ryan White
Player for player trades in this new post CBA NHL are going to come back in style.

Another player the Habs should look into is Tom Poti in Washington. I played briefly with Tom in high school. Good guy, great puck mover. He's become much more responsible defensively later in his career.

He also acknowledged that he's happy in Anaheim. Too bad, he'd look great on a line with Ryder.

Higgins is gonna cost you.

Koivu chose not to speak to learn French because his job did not require it.

With that being said that makes him the devil and deserved to have one of his eyes carved out.

Well in the seperatiste's point of view here, if a dumb newf could do it, maybe Koivu could have at least tried...
