Re: Last night:

1. Lefebvre was certainly a decent defenseman. Was he great? No. Very good? No. But he was better than many we have now. Better than Gorges? Etienne, you make me laugh sometimes times, especially since you never really saw him play.

2. Brisebois....'nuff said.

3. Adam is absolutely correct - the ability to play the game, has nothing to do with the ability to coach and teach the game. And in the end, all the hires are French and that's what matters.

4. The most poignant remark I took from last night, other than Dan advising of his conquest, is that Denis Cassavant is probably the finest journalist in Montreal. Always liked that guy.

5. Good morning.

TWO DIFFERENT SCENARIOS



conversation between dt and asp (dramatization):

dt: which one of your tires did you say is flat?

marty: front passenger

dt: ok



conversation between dt and mrs. dt (actual):

dt: which one of your tires did you say is flat?

mrs. dt: oh what do you mean?

dt: you said one of your tires looks flat which one is it?

mrs. dt: oh... well if you're standing in front of the house and you're looking at the car it would be on your left.

dt: am I looking toward the house or away from the house?

mrs. dt: you're standing with your back to the garage door and you're looking toward the mailbox.

dt: front or back?

mrs. dt: no in front of the house

dt: front or back tire?

mrs. dt: *does motion with her hands as if she were driving the car* front!

dt: ok

I watched the whole interviews...I have to say I don't really mind, I even think it's a good thing. That team was certainly lacking in development, and clearly Bergevin saw that Timmins had too much on his plate. I still question Brisebois' teaching skills, but who knows.

Un québécois francophone qui donne la chance à des québécois francophones. WOW! Je redis WOW! Une leçon que nos étudiants auraient intérêt à retenir. C’est de cette façon que l’on construit une nation, en s’épaulant, se respectant, en se faisant confiance. Pas en pétant des vitres et en se déshabillant en public!
