Fixed, no way Andrei Kostitsyn uses that many words.

Yeah.... then again what sport would they talk about during the winter?

Remember the lockout?

I read that some economic stuff went down in the world recently.

I think he does, actually.

Jesse Marsch does.
- Scabeh

Soccer players are more intelligent than hockey players. Must be the concussions.

Jesse Marsch does.
- Scabeh

if the impact had a bigger fan base, the media would complain that marsch doesn't speak french well enough and that there aren't enough quebecers on the starting 11.

Damn.

You can't compare the cultural importance of the Habs to the Impact... it's just stupid.

- Apples

I don't believe this to be true.

If the impact had a history of success with local players maybe....

And if the Habs were to hire an english speaking coach that would come here and actually learn french in a short amount of time like Marsch is doing... everyone would be fine with it.

Isn't that the draft dodger who called Timmy an unpatriotic bigot?

The media needs the Canadiens more than the Canadiens need the media. So what if it has to be translated, it will get to the people no matter what. The only people who think it is an issue are anti-anglo... Like you.
- mr.peanut

I'm not anti-anglo but rather Pro-Franco.

I find it important for us to know english, but even more important to know french.

that's why i said if it had a bigger fan base. not just the size but the importance of the team.

Yes.

Yes.

what's funny is that most of the immigrants in Quebec speak french and not english.
- Apples

That's not true.

Also, a lot of immigrants come here knowing none, and when given the choice, which language do you think they'll learn?

Yes they need it. They speak daily to the media, and therefore to the public. If you need a guy who speaks french for the GM, a guy who'll speak to the media 10 times a year or so to the public, you certainly need a guy who speaks daily to the public to be able to speak to the majority of their fans in their mother language.

Unless the coach is Tortorella-lite during the Press conferences, then you don't really care.
- QuebecPride

It would be hilarious to have a coach who is bilingual, but refused to speak French with the media. Bertand Raymond would have a coronary.

Yes.
- mr.peanut

love that guy

That's not true.

It's important to us to learn it yes. But not for a coach who's job does not actually require it.
