About this guy Angryhabsfan : Born in montreal, living in Calgary.
I've seen both sides of the language debate, and to be honest, the alberta redneck is just as ridiculous as any bleuet.
The main difference is that the flames fans respect Alex Tanguay's natural skill and don't dump on him for being french.
The way the antichambre guys pile on pk subban while giving david "i don't forecheck or backcheck" desharnais a free pass makes me sick. The editors at le journal de montreal should have their fingers chopped off for the way they have treated Randy Cunneyworth.
How about this, Quebec? What if we made a rule that said "no french coaches on the other 29 nhl teams" , oh wait we would lose both coaches from last year's stanley cup final. Look at all the success French players and coaches have in this league!!!! Why would any of them want to play for montreal ? the huge benefit of having no-talent hacks like Joel Bouchard or Benoit Brunet judge them with unrealistic expectations on the post-game show? Yvon
Last I checked, Jean Perron and Jacques Demers both won their rings on the shoulders of a hot goalie and nothing else so I don't give them too much credit.
Every other stanley cup winning canadiens coach was english. Dick Irvin Sr and Sam Pollock are giving habs fans the finger from up above, we are the most ungrateful and rudest fans on the planet and I'm considering switching teams for the first time ever. The french half of me is embarrassed by the way the media is acting.
I would like to take this time to say that as a person from Montreal, I would like our team's reporters to actually be from Montreal. As an example, Yvon Pednault, the president of the montreal pro hockey writers association, a hall of fame committee member, is a straight-up bigot from Chicoutimi. Stop giving that man a microphone.
