Probably less, unless Carey Price gets traded.

Lats had more written about him than any other Hab not named Carey Price, or at least so it seemed.

Journal de Quebec.

They'd never miss a chance to tweak Montreal's nose, and Patty, being the Remparts' grand poobah, is one of the Quebec City crowd now.

There's degrees of being a Québécois.
-Ethnic Québécois that was born and raised in a majority French-speaking area of Quebec that played in QMJHL are the perfect Québécois.

-Non-Ethnic Québécois
-Ethnic but raised in a bilingual neighborhood
-Ethnic Québécois that played his hockey elsewhere
-French Canadian of another province.
-French speakers from Switzerland and France
-etc...
are all imperfect versions to various degrees of the Real Québécois.

The only reason the imperfect Québécois are assimilated to the perfect Québécois is to bash the Habs to have drafted someone that doesn't even qualify as an imperfect Québécois (Eastern European, Minnesota kid, etc...). See for example Claude Giroux. Get with the times, bud...

I can't have a commentary on something a regular fixture of the Habs comments industry (on CKAC, and l'attaque a 5) said?

I'm also very amused at how you cleverly transformed the bigoted commentator as the victim.

Sounds just like a description of the racist hicks I met in Sherbrooke.

Ohh boy!!! To me if you speak French in Canada you are French period. The Acadiens are just as French as the Quebecois. Franco-Ontarians that live just outside the Quebec borders speak the same if not as the French people in Quebec. The French people in Canada would actually have had more power if they stopped dividing themselves into nations that all speak French. The Quebecois are a nation, ok. The Acadiens are what??? Anglos??? This is a prime example of how the nationalistic Quebecois not only hate English but also their fellow French cousins that live outside Quebec. It's time this stuff ceases.

fail. the term acadiens explains itself ...

and re-fail at trying and link nationalism in quebec with hate towards... anything.

and re-re fail for talking politics in a guillaume latendresse thread.

and that was only the last sentence.

Fail for being a nationalist.

I'd swear that the Habs mods have been down this road with you all before. Sociopolitical debate belongs in teh political forum, not on the hockey boards. With only 2 finished pages, if people want to continue discussing the trade it's just as easy to start a new thread as it is for a mod to cull all the off-topic discussion.
