Do Habs fans know that Dick Irvin Sr., Toe Blake, and Scotty Bowman (all non-French speaking) were behind the bench for 16 of their 24 Cups?

I hear that the Montreal police just opened an investigation into you dash.

But I'm sure it has nothing to do with that post.

I do not know about the other two but didnt Scotty speak French? I wondered about this, looked around and read he spoke French very well. At least thats what some site said.

I do think its silly how upset some people are at this.

Sounds fishy...

It could be comeds that he didn't speak French at the time he was hired and then learned "on the job". Or it could be the site where I gleaned that info is wrong.

Its hard to research now, all I keep finding are recent arguments. Either way, I was just curious - it doesn't really matter to me.

The government official's statement is beyond silly. While I know very little about Quebec politics from what little I know this does not sound uncommon.

How one can seriously argue that French speaking being a prerequisite in a coach doesn't seriously diminish their coaching talent pool is beyond me.

Comeds, do you live in the French quarter of Baltimore?

The City That Reads.... en Francais!

Louis Jean (Sporstnet reporter who is bilingual) is being interviewed on Hockeycentral right now and he thinks there's no way Cunneyworth is still coach of the Habs past this season.

lol love how that teams fan base is not interested in winning a stanley cup more than a french speaking coach.

Patrick Roy would be a disaster as head coach of the Habs (he coached a stacked Quebec Remparts team to a Memorial Cup) but anybody on this board could have done the same.

I'd love to watch Carey Price walk by Patty Wah to tell the Habs owner that he had just played his last game for Montreal.

/He's going to Vancouver along with Subban for Luongo.
