I mean saying something makes me puke in my mouth a bit is just a bit sensational...

As for the other comment, it is my opinion that the obsession over the Habs captain speaking french is inane. I don't believe it to be justified. I don't agree with those that do. But that doesn't mean I despise those people or that my opinion means any more than theirs does.

If someone could make a strong enough argument to have me see it differently, I'd see it differently.

It's a french team therefore the captain should speak french.

What if he didn't speak English? Would you say the same thing? In your every day job, wouldn't you find it difficult to have everything translated all the time?

Maybe not be fluent in French but speaking a couple of words from time to time can't hurt.

exactly. now show me the picture with it on his jersey.

goalies can be de facto team captains but not official on ice ones.

Goalies can't wear a C.

so have him play forward.

I'm sure the players won't follow a captain who can't whine to the refs.

So....prerequisite for a Captain is to be able to speak to the media?

I wouldn't care in the slightest. Alexei Emelin hardly speaks English. Andrei Kostitsyn hardly learned a word of it. I don't feel either of them owe it to us.

I don't think Matsyui owed it to the Yankees and their fans.

This won't do it.

CAN YOU GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY IT WOULD NOT

Just say this from time to time and I'm OK.

Personnally I don't think it's important that he is fluent in french. Let's be honest they Quebecers are gettting rarer and rarer in the NHL and having one with Captain aptitude is gonna be hard.

But learning 5-6 key phrases is at everybody's reach and something so simple would prevent so much controversy. It would be inane not to do that minimal effort that would bring consensus.

Well he's kinda constantly saying if you think the capatain should learn a few phrases in french you are an idiot.

please don't get a 3rd language involved in this
