Seriously, screw the "speak French" requirement.
I just hope our next GM and Coach uses the Metric system with a degree of skill!!

I was actually kind of disappointed when I heard Bergevin say our next coach will be billingual. I don't mind if he is, I just dislike saying it's 100% necessary. I was very happy hearing english candidates in the GM process and I was hoping the HC process would be similar.

So, what is going to be his nickname? "Bergy" is too common, we already have Michel Bergeron. What about "Vergy"?

Nowadays my written French flows more comfortably than my spoken French. Occasionally I have to pause before I speak. Probably this is the result of having lived in the States for many years and not having to speak French except when I travel to Canada or France.

Let's just hope it's a good thing for our Habs...I would think so.
MB is the kind of guy we want. I hope we have success with him.

He will be a fan favorite ....I mean if Gainey and Gauthier could stick around near 10 years, all Marc gotta do is show fans he trying to win the cup not be a 8th seed, which it seems to me with the names rumored coming into Montreal this is the most optimistic i've been in a long long time ..
