For the record, this is why people wanted to avoid this debate...it brings out some incredibly stupid comments

as long as fred is here we're running that risk regardless

FFS, learn to read.

Correct. I kinda avoid reading your posts. We can agree on that post.

no, the reasoning that had been brought up for being against the debate was dumb, but yeah perhaps it's not a bad idea to avoid the subject here after all
- Pat1993

I don't know the reasons you were given, as I said yesterday I wasn't there and didn't back read it but you're right, end result the subject should be avoided lest we get what we're getting

TBH, Julien didn't really speak ze french

More English coaches have won than French ones.
- Mashadar

Not proportionally.

combine it with some stupid people and you get stupid arguments with stupid people.
- kicksave856

This is my issue. I seem to choose to argue with stupid people without thinking about what I'm doing until it devolves into an idiotic mess

- Takemedrunkimhome

the reasoning was basically "it is what it is and things will never change", to which I disagree, but the sh!tshow here might be the best argument ever for not bringing it up, JFC

I really don't get it.

It comes with the hockey club, if you don't like it, there's plenty of other clubs to cheer for.

And that's coming from me..

I didn’t even bring it up.

Well I kinda did when I sais takemedrunkimhome would be pissed because they hired a french guy, which he is. So I was right again

A hockey player's job is to play hockey, not to learn a local language to appease some media and locals with an agenda. Weber was traded to the Habs, didn't ask to come here, didn't sign here of his own free will. You're now complaining that he doesn't want to "suffer" and learn the language. If you don't see how this is part of the problem I can only walk you to the water I can't make you drink
- Takemedrunkimhome

It is not about any agenda... It is just a question of respect...

you're not the only one. i wonder what pat is doing sometimes too. you're both too nice for your own good.

Ok

just for the sake of it

What Anglo coach would be better than DD?

Babcock?
Gallant?
Boucher?
Roy?

I doubt one them is "better"

I really don't get it.

Thanks Pete

For now, definitely. Especially since in a pandemic hiring someone from outside would have meant a 14 day quarantine. He’s got a great record as a head coach in junior but hasnt done it in the nhl so far. This interim period gives him a chance to prove he can do it in the big league and if he can and delivers, i’ll be glad if they give him the job for good.

How do you know Bob Hartley is not in 14 day quarantine right now?

I really don't get it.

- Pat1993

Sadly I agree with that though and have just learned to accept it

you know what would bring us all together? hiring a coach who only spoke Spanish.

It's funny how it seems the anglos here are all on this exact same page. Weird actually

The maple leafs have never hired a french coach, look how much sucess they’ve had in the last 40 years
- Fredo

Pat Burns RIP was somehow French...
