To be honest, I like Steve. He's entertaining, I also like his podcast.

...but this season, sheesh...he's been so smug and insufferable

It's not only the medias, plenty of fans on Twitter are annoyed right now, I can't for the life of me understand how anyone can think scratching Belzile was not the right decision to make

i kinda get it. like for me, when i walk to into a deli, i wanna see some Jews on staff. either slicing the smoked meat or working the register. something.

Same with me at a Tim Hortons. If it isn't Filipino people, it ain't going to be good.

that's the thing. they don't win the cup. they don't even make the playoffs...

So since they are not winning, let's just get some random French players on the team and that is good enough? If you think putting Belzile ion the 4th line is the magic cure, then expectations for this team have fallen low.

French players don't even want to be here. Heck, most players don't wanna come here.

Montreal French media is a poopshow, so why even bother?

English players can pretty much ignore them. French players are hounded.

If you can play in Florida (or, most teams un the US), live in relative anonymity, on top of that make millions of dollars, pay less taxes and have a good normal life - why even bother playing here?

I disagree with that. those who work, those who perform according to expectations... no problem. French or English.
I don't see many complaining about Danault these days. hell many realize how important he is to the team!
many complained about Weber, Price, Staal... the past few months. are they French?
bottom line, do the job, you won't have any problem.

Guys I'm gonna side with Mashadar here

i miss the Bruins

Yeah, hopefully the "north" division is a thing of the past. I don't think I can take much more of seeing the same 6 (frank)ing teams over and over again.

I noticed Belzile more than Frolik. Not saying that Belzile should be a regular...but might as well put him out there if the only other option is Frolik.

I'd play Belzile over Frolik as well...

He sure brings more energy and physicality; that being said, we are debating about 4th liners...

Exactly my thought, i just don't get why it's such a sensitive topic as we have quebeccers on the roster, it's just that they are injured...and we don't really miss Drouin so far.

Its dumb at this point. A winning team is what matters.

- Habsody

Not suggesting Drouin is any sort of answer but since he's been out have the Habs been some victorious, goal scoring dynamo and I just missed it? I guess they can suck scoring with or without him...

I can't believe people in Quebec haven't figured out how to use Google Translate. Their team will be much better when they stop watering it down with francophones.

you know... the whole argument, stupid as it is, is that there ARE no francophones on the roster right now. so as it pertains to the stupid argument, you're too stupid to follow along.

im gonna need your address too

Check “Seal plays” on google translate and tell me what it says.

for what's it's worth

Per sources...

The Playoffs in the Central will start Saturday, The East Sunday, The West Monday, and the North either Tuesday or Wednesday...or possibly next Friday....depending on how soon Montreal can clinch. If Montreal were to clinch soon, the NHL would play the final two games with Calgary and Vancouver, in the afternoon next Tuesday and Wednesday...

All the games will be played...

Looking like some buyers remorse on both. Early days though.
