  1. I don't think any of them will do the #1 job, Huet would have been the one, unfortunatly.
  2. On the same scale can we say that those who call on others because they call "yeux bridés" yeux bridés are racists or intolerants because they don't accept that in other culture, some words don't have the same level of significiance ? Eminem You find me offensive? I find you offensive For finding me offensive Hence if I should draw a line on any fences If so to what extense if Any, should I go? 'Cause it's getting expensive Being on the other side of the courtroom on the defensive They say that I cause extensive Psychological nerve damage to the brain when I go to lengths this, Far at other people's expenses I say your all just too god damn sensitive It's censorship And it's down right blasphemous
  3. I can sure you that here in Québec, 90% of Asians we met in the streets, business or anywhere, have almond shaped eyes. And THIS IS OUR DEFINITION OF "yeux bridés" who's been translated "slanting eyes" by the anglo medias. Because Boiclair never said slanting eyes, he said "yeux bridés". Boiclair spend 1 year studying in Harvard, Boston, and succeed. Well, I think his english level might be good enough to potentially lead a frenchies majority province.
  4. Saku Koivu n'est même pas capable d'en faire autant, laisse donc la chance au coureur KayC !
  5. All I know is that Grabovski stayed on the bench for the final minute... and Dogs tried the same play around the net 3 times and didn't work at all. Biron should have shot most during this final PP.
  6. I just watch a video on Cyberpresse.ca and they report the story. I learned that mr. Boiclair didn't say "slanting eyes", his speech was in french. Ok now i see everybody takes on Boiclair because he said "yeux bridés". I'm sorry, but i have to take position on Boiclair side because "yeux bridés" is absolutely not an expression of any disrespect sense and even less racist. This just means they have "les yeux bridés" as the majority of Asians have. Maybe, the expression "slanting eyes" in english are pejorative in some ways, but in french, the langage Boiclair did his speech in, it's not. He just said a 1/3 of students had " les yeux bridés" instead of saying 1/3 of students come from east Asia. Everybody knows that in Québec, majority of immigrants vote for the Parti Libéral. I wouldn't be surprised if the complaint against Boiclair was for political purposes. And don't take on me, I work in English most of the time, I have 1 friend frow Rwanda, 1 from Maroc and got a really nice relation with the Chinese owner of my favorite dépanneur ("7/11") here in Montréal. This is just about usage of some words in different languages and politic.
  7. Yes, Milroy was injured. D'Agostini really was the best player on the ice yesterday. I hope we'll see him with the big team next year, at least for a few games. I noticed that Gainey, Carbo, Jarvis and even Boivin were on the press galery (don't know how to say "galerie de presse" in english...). I hope they liked the D'Agostini show.
  8. I'm sure Boiclair wanted to say : "yeux bridés". In french, "yeux bridés" is not disrespect and even less racist. This whole story was made up by someone who didn't take time to ask mr. Boiclair what he wanted to say in french. When you hear people saying "slanting eyes" and then you ask what it means, they will automaticaly stretch the corner of their eyes. It's just normal that you consider it means "yeux bridés" and then translate it as "slanting eyes". Point of vue of a french Canadian who heard (actually read) the words "slanting eyes" for the first time this week and just think it means "yeux bridés" as Boiclair might have done. so wrong... what a dumb opinion
  9. Yark, we lost 3-2 and were ahead 2-1 when the 3rd period started. Some good observations : D'Agostini, Lemieux, Loke. not good not bad for Danis, Grabovski and Chips Bad game for : O'Byrne and almost every Dmen, Bode missed 2 or 3 goals also. 8000 and some fans at the game niiiice.
  10. I agree for the first part of your post bacchus, but when you name O'Byrne, D'Agostiny and Milroy... I'm not sure if the habs will win the Stanley Cup in the next 20 years with those guys on the team. We defenitly need a Brière or a young Tavares or any kind of guy who can put up 90-100 pts to lead this team on the first unit. And i dont think none of the players you named in your post can do it... And I know our prospects... i've been following them since two years, I can't wait for Emelin too and see how a "Kots - Grab - Kots" unit would be hot on the ice... But we need at least one futur all-stars player, not some "maybe they'll become a super star" players.
  11. I love tootoo for the legal bodychecks he gives but this punch was nasty.
  12. I baught i really nice one directly at the Bell Centre. They got plenty of models, good variety. Mines is blue and grey with a blue logo who seems to have been sewn. for 29$ Ca it is really nice. They got kind of "army" models.
  13. i just played to Fifa 2006 on Xbox and FC Twente is rated 2 stars out of 5. Do they improved for 2007?
  14. Even Charest and Dumont don't think it was disrespect. Soon, we will not be allowed to call bald people bald. This is crazy. It's like saying Nutella taste chocolat ! Hey and what about hazelnut? This is disrespect for hazelnut.
  15. Eric Lindros is the reason why LeClair exploded. I don't think he would have been so good in Montréal. For Perez, I'm sure he'll be back next year... anyway we wouldn't get much from him. Lets give him the time he need to bounce back. But he won't play on the top 2 lines next year neither. His best moments were with Bonk and Johnson.
  16. Kovalenko... severals of you on HW are impressed by Perez... i'm so defenitly not... Wild shots, no passes, loose the puck while decking... The man is fast, very fast, but Karl Dykhuis was fast too... I don't think he is part of the future of the team, specially with Kots playing like that.
  17. WTF Esposito ??? I wish the habs won't draft him. Too much of this type of player.
  18. I totally disagree with you Cataclaw. If only Charest and Dumont would have give some LITTLE answers to Boiclair on ANY questions he asked, maybe he wouldn't have cut them off all the time. Boiclair was the only one to face the questions and answer all the time. Charest and Dumont were both walking around the question and wasting time by not responding it. When you ask Jean Charest the simple question "Will you raise the day-care centers costs during a second mandate?" and you're not even able to get a "yes/no" answer or any kind of information, I think you're allowed to re ask the question and cut Charest pathetic answer. Boiclair A- Charest B Dumont disqualified for being such a clown all debate long and throwing a cheap shot with the viaduc thing I would be happy if the ADQ stop existing after march 26, this is just ridiculous how they look The way I see it, students and syndicated workers, specially nurses, will not vote for Charest, only fools will vote for ADQ and Dumont, so Boiclair and the Parti québécois will be elected as a minotiry government.
  19. Moi je dirais personnellement les 2 entraîneurs... Avez-vous suivi la rivalité de cette année entre les Sags et les Remparts? Incroyable, mais vrai.
  20. If Plex become our # 1 centre... say hello to a looooong slump... What we need at centre is for example Brière, Koivu, Plex and Lapierre. Sorry Bonk good job but too expensive and not enough skills comparing to Plex.
  21. I'm really not a fan... Some games can last more than 1 day long... 24 ######in hours of cricket !!!!!
  22. I don't think Higgins is outspoken more than Komi. And I'd prefer a captain who play (or will play) the game as Pronger. In 2 or 3 years, Komi will be at this level i think, but not offensively, but all around player with leadership, who drop the gloves to protect his buddys.
  23. No Komisarek would be the future captain. Some others talked about Chipchura as a captain. I'd prefer Komi.
