Habs have been so boring to watch since Julien was named head coach.

If you don't give a show, at least you have to win games.

If you cant understand how important French is to Quebec, please kindly STFU.

What a pair of idiots. The fact they couldn't make anything work with the roster, especially the PP is beyond pathetic.

that's not a correction. whether they speak English or not is not the point. the point is that 95%+ of them speak the local language. most coaches in Ligue 1 speak French. most coaches in Serie A speak Italian.... etc.

People missing the point of TOP CLUBS. Language is irrelevant for them. You think Bayern Munich cared that Pep Guardiola spoke no German? PSG cared that Pochettino spoke no french? Trappatoni at Bayern, Benfica? You simply hire the best man for the job.

EDIT: I'll drop the topic since its such a sensitive thing. But sticking to this logic is counterintuitive to the ultimate goal.

Losses at home also?

Let’s see how Ducharme does first and then we will comment

Had one this morning, eggs are bigger and less dry. It's an improvement.

If it was, more resources would have been put into it do they'd win.

If you have to go back 40 year for an example you're essentially proving my point

Then riddle me this: howcome there aren't any Finns coaching in the NHL? Swedes? Russians? Is English the only acceptable hockey language?

Bowman is from La Petite Bourgogne and spoke/speaks perfectly fine French. It's like he was able to learn a 2nd language. Crazy, I know.

Boy, this is fun.

Babcock....?

Yeah I agree with you 100%. I brought up the same idea yesterday and people got their panties in a knot. Apparently it's fine to talk about how Price sucks, how Danault sucks, and how Drouin sucks, all of which we can do nothing about. But if you bring up a how a french only coach is a stupid mentality, suddenly we re stupid for discussing something we can do nothing about. No wonder we can't have the best coach available when so many people have that mentality.

Riddle me this, when did i specifically say they had to be English? I said hire the best man for the job, regardless of what their native tongue is.

What's the international language of business? One that global businesses typically use to communicate?

Zidane played in Italy, he speaks italian...

Zidane played in Spain, he speaks spanish...

Zidane played in France, he speaks french... (This one was easy...)

Koivu played in Quebec, he speaks english... You can add Weber too...

I speak 3 languages myself... At the end of the day it is just how much you want to suffer to learn it... Habs Captains don't want to suffer...

Well this is just idiotic. People wonder why free agents don't want to come to Montreal and they wonder why the vast majority of no trade clauses list Montreal. It's stupidity like this
