I think I'd rather have people say "it's important to me that the coach/GM speaks french" rather than just saying it shouldn't be talked about at all - Pat1993
it's not only important, it is crucial.
btw, 30 teams are looking to hire the best english coach.
1 team is looking to hire the best french coach. I like our chances.
and time have proved me right. look at the career Burns, Vigneault, Julien had in the league.... even Therrien. you're telling me they would have had the same without first being hired by Mtl? com'on
that being said, let's not talk about it. that's the way it is.

pretty sure francophones are getting jobs in the NHL a lot more than 15-20 years ago, and I doubt they'll be this huge bias against them just because MTL might hire someone that doesn't speak French... sounds a bit like an "insecure" logic to be honest
