Yeah, like a latter day Bunny Larocque and Michel Plasse tandem (may their souls rest in peace)

And most importantly, weed out those who might be eager to whine/complain when things get tough. Hard to do in an interview, though.

Would it be wrong to ask for cocktails?
Those "certain media members" you refer to would likely not consider Levi to be Quebecois at all, given that legally, he can also play for Israel's national team internationally.
I suspect if he has desires to play internationally, it would be higher than division 2 where the state of Israel plays

He was Montembault’s back up at the IIHF, no?
Buffalo is gunning for Levi to be their 1G
They need a vet to buy some time , but he isnt being going anywhere
My point was that I doubt that the Rejean Tremblay’s of the world be excited by having Levi on the Habs.

There was a segment on French radio on Monday that was wondering out loud why so many players who came here didn't make an effort to learn French.
And the guy doing the radio isn't some racist cretin like Rejean Tremblay, it was Pierre Houde's brother Paul.
The language issue will always be present because there will always be people who will ask why Price, why Pacioretty, why (insert player here) never "respected" the culture here and learned French.
It is an unfortunate reality of this city.

Why should they? Seriously?
The Hispanic population here doesn't whine and cry, they teach their kids both English and Spanish . Now the hard heads are wondering why people don't give a fuck about French? France lost, like almost every war. It's a colloquial language, not an international one.

He used such a ludicrous argument to try to bolster his point when he brought up Messi and his departure from PSG. Said that some people in Paris mentioned to him that one of the reasons he was so disliked during his tenure there was that Messi didn't try to learn French. I'm sure that was the reason he was booed there and not the fact that he & the team grossly underachieved.
Sal's 100% right. This is one of the many aspects of the culture war.

Yah, agree that’s absurd. Their supporters are notoriously nasty and they didn’t appreciate the perceived carpetbaggers. (Personally I found it amusing.)

Remember what I said about cultural and linguistic chauvinism. French schoolchildren in Quebec haven't been taught that the French lost the battle on the Plains of Abraham, they've been taught that they were sold out. Some textbooks still show Labrador as being part of Quebec instead of Newfoundland.
they were sold out, Voltaire and the French court cared little about Canada as they cared more about the European theatre (you don't worry about the barn when the manor is on fire" and "Canada is a few acres of snow"
