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. - EricEngels
I'm not even sure Kostitsyn could speak his native tongue... |

actually the japanese players in MLB are a great example of this. most of them, Matsui included, speak very good english but refuse to to the media. no one has a problem at all w/ it. |

cant you have no captain? - hamiltonhabfan
if the team is in transition yes. habs made it pretty far this year and their goal should be to go further this year. every team be it work or sports related needs a leader to succeed. |

is what you're all saying that it would be cool and nice for the captain to speak a bit of french but it shouldn't be expected of him as something he owes everyone?
becasue I think that's what you;re all saying except for the stop signs guy |

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. - Fredobface
And nobody is asking for more really... It's just a simple sign of respect. |

But both Gionta and Koivu did that, and we're still talking about this. That's the irony. |

I disagree that nobody's asking for more, and to say it's a sign of respect also intimates that it's a sign of disrespect if they don't-- and this is what I disagree with. |
