Pretty sad when you think about it... isn't it?

It is what it is. The grass roots of hockey players are good old country boys, it's not like they are taught to hate anyone different, but they don't see anyone different as they grow up. Hockey players also take a lot longer to grow up.
Playing hockey and training all year long, hanging out only with the players on the team, they are never exposed to the different cultures as much as kids who go the college/Labor routes.

It will take time but as more of the minorites start to reach the NHL level the players will become more accepting.

The Habs need a big star center like Getzlaf more then they need Subban.

in the real world, you don't trade a 28-min defenseman whose whole career is ahead of him-- a cheap one at that, for a star centre whose play will start declining soon (if it hasn't already) that already makes top-buck.

Like i said, I love Getzlaf. He'd be the answer to so many problems Canadiens have had for years, but you try to make that deal by dangling Plekanec and two second rounders.

you don't give up a first when you're likely to draft top 10, and you don't give up a stud dman.

I'm just gonna pretend I've never read that and continue with my day.

I don't think it's automatic, but it's fair to think the possibility exists, no?

Good on you for publically saying that and risking a Stormey location.

Would it not be fair to say that the habs could use Ryan or Perry more than Getzlaf?

Wow. I'm trying to focus back on my contract right now.
Tabarnak. Wow.

Gomez wasn't even getlaf at the time.

why did someone do this to me...
you realize this will register on my google images forever now?

Getzlaf for Subban straight up, we AUTOMATICALLY lose the trade?

Problem is EE, if he is a cancer and his peers do not like him, he won't last very long, anywhere.

Une langue, ca s'apprend. _ Pierre Gauthier



Parlant de bilinguisme

Des enfants, qui ont besoin d'un support moral pour diverses raisons, sont accueillis à chaque match dans la loge de Scott et Brian, dont les frais sont honorés par le duo Gomez-Gionta. Quand l'un des deux joueurs est blessé, ça lui permet d'aller les saluer durant la partie.

Dimanche, à l'occasion de la visite des Rangers, c'est ce que Gionta a fait pour la plus grande joie de petits bonshommes qui ont tout de suite su qui il était. L'un d'eux a tiré son père par le bras. «Papa, papa, c'est Brian. Brian Gionta, c'est lui, c'est lui», a-t-il dit, excité et impressionné.

Gionta leur a parlé. Son père a servi d'interprète pour ses deux garçons. Gionta a été si gentil avec eux qu'ils ont eu cette demande bien spéciale pour leur père à leur retour à la maison.

Ils ont tellement regretté de ne pas pouvoir lui parler qu'ils désirent maintenant converser en anglais à la maison afin d'apprendre une langue qui leur permettra de jaser avec un autre joueur si jamais l'occasion se présente.
Les enfants nous servent parfois de ces leçons.

He's not a cancer, I can't think of any other team in the NHL that cites locker room issues as problem every time they are not playing well as much as the habs do.

I like that trade, but i think one of those picks would have to be a 1st.

A cancer doesn't usually lead the team in icetime from the age of 21. Especially not on defense.
