any bets, nothing happens?

sorry guys i speak only english, can somebody tell me what that POS said?

Where is the link to the item … I cannot find it

leafs are now officially in last place.

OMG I can’t stand that show… I had to promise my wife I would stop watching it… I just ended up yelling at the TV… but that clip is the worst I heard in a while!

I can speak French, but the Quebec accent sinks me. Where’s the racist part? Did I miss an expression or a turn of phrase? Or is just the way he said Kostopolous’ name? I couldn’t understand a few turns of phrase.

Anti-minority sentiments are associated with all nationalist movements in the world. Alberta separatists, Quebec separatists, Flemish separatists (Vlaams Bloc), Walloon separatists (National Front), Northern Italian separatists (Lega Nord); Austrian (Freedom Party), French (Front Nationale), German (Republikaner + NPD), British (Brit National Party), Norwegian (Progress Party), Swiss (People’s Party), Danish (Danish Peoples Party), Finnish (True Finns), Australian (One Nation), New Zealand (New Zealand First), Greek (Hellenic Front), Polish (Nazis, basically), Slovakia (Slovak National Party, also Nazis), Russian (Nazis again) blah blah blah. Quebec is not alone in this. Many nationalists in Quebec are quite tolerant, but these movements always attract the crackers too. I mean, even the Americans were praising a guy who ripped down a Mexican flag from a store owner’s window–don’t fly that flag in this country, he said.

These comments stand out as being so repulsive because we are Canadians. And we are lucky to be! In Switzerland, the political party that won the last election ran with an election add that had three white sheep kicking a black sheep off the Swiss flag, with the slogan: “For Greater Security”. They got 35% of the vote! And in another campaign, they had a campaign add posted all over the country that had a bunch of brown hands reaching into a barrell of swiss passports! In Denmark, an important party had a poster with a young man, dark complexion, pointing a gun at you. The slogan read: “The Threat is a Foreign One”.

We don’t know how good we have it here. Good for you HB for posting this! Canada, even in Quebec, is still more tolerant than just about any other country in the world–with perhaps the sole exception of Sweden.

Quite honestly, leave these extremists alone. They exist and so let them be. If shows are willing to give these people a voice then expect this sort of information. Mind you of the clip, is this common french because I didn’t get the whole gist and if these remarks disturbed people then turn it off. Then go on another show to voice your opinion. I hardly think that this forum should be the medium.

Now which Habs team is gonna finish the remainder of the season…still no information on a trade.

This guy even looks like a tool…..lets get up for Philly guys. Must **** happen every year that affects this team. Souray and Kovy’s spat last year, apparently the Rivet trade sent Koivu into a shell for a while…now this ****.
The guy’s a jackass…this is a bad time for something to whip through the dressing room again, and hopefully it doesn’t. We’re trying to concentrate and win hockey games here. Let the good people of Quebec handle this idiot and protect our Habs. Winning games is number 1 here….anyone disagree?
This should not affect our boys play…we’re acually playing for something this year…and playing damn well. Keep the focus on what happens on the ice….GO HABS GO !!!

Just for your information, Michel Beaudry is not rascist. When he says Kosto”*******”poulo, he just mean that the number 6 is not a important player, by that a mean that he is just a third or fouth liner. If u steel think its racism, wheel ur just stupid paranoiac.

By the way Michel Beaudry is just a stupid ”asbeen” but definitly not racism

If u what to talk about a real racist let talk about Don Cherry who is a heros on the rock. So who are racism Quebec or the Rock think about it.

how do you know what he is! Are you him? you can’t get in his head, and if you don’t think he’s a racist, then UOU’RE A RACIST! You disgust me too!

Nothing particularly new here, but the speculation seems to be heating up. I wonder what the asking price would be? They want a player who can benefit them right away, plus youth, plus picks. My hunch is that Anaheim is in a better position than Montreal. Anaheim can trade two first round picks for next year, including a likely top 5 pick. I think the price for Montreal would be steep.

The only advantage Montreal might have is the willingness to trade and assume risk. Michael Ryder, a first round pick, and Halak, unconditionally. There’s no question the Thrashers are looking at Ryder. Ryder was put in the game instead of Kostopolous when the Atlanta scout was there, and taken out again for the game that he wasn’t there.

Anaheim probably won’t give up a player who can help right away, plus their top five pick for next year, unless they attach a condition about Hossa signing with the team at year’s end.

I don’t know what I’d do if I were Gaigney. One disadvantage is that it’s all within the same conference. I wouldn’t give up Higgins, Koivu or Latendresse, but we’ll see what happens…

Here’s the post today from the Fourth Period:

“With the trade deadline approaching, Thrashers winger Marian Hossa doesn’t believe he’ll have a new contract before Feb. 26, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“The reality is that we’re a couple days before the trade deadline,” Hossa told the paper. “What could change, basically? We have so many choices. There are two choices. I’m going to stay here or I won’t. Two choices. It’s pretty simple. We’ll see what’s going to happen in the next few days. The agent is talking with [Thrashers GM] Don [Waddell], but still we couldn’t get the agreement.”

Hossa indicated that it’s “very slim” for him to ink a new deal before the deadline, furthering speculation that the team will trade him in the next few days.

The Montreal Canadiens are among the teams very interested in Hossa. Waddell and his top scouts have been spotted at recent Habs’ games.”

What about Hamrlik? Where’s he been lately? Out with the flu for two weeks? Maybe. But maybe they’re trying to ensure that he stays healthy before the trade deadline?

I agree.

You know what when people try to justify a negative comment by saying Don Cherry says negative things does not make it right. A person making derogatory remarks wheather in French or English is wrong. When Cherry says stupid things he gets more publicity the same thing everyone on this blog is doing for this french what ever he is. I do not speak french but poor remarks in any language is wrong.This is supposed to be a hockey sight and this is my only comment on this . Back to the subject,I hope Gainey does not take a rental in Hossa. If he must go after him,get him under contract or can anyone say Ryan Smyth to New York Islanders for major prospects then say goodbye after one round of playoff hockey. Be smart Bob.

Well I am a Quebecer born and raised, and I’m also anglophone. I encounter that kind of racist bullsh*t all the time from certain francophones, mostly those of lower class upbringing. I feel like saying to all those nationalist ******** – I belong here just as much as you do, regardless of my grammar or verb conjugation, at least I’ll make an effort!

doesn’t it irk you pleople to have someone come on here, and defend that *******. If you defend him, then you’re just as bad as him. And you know, french canadians know how to speak english, but they refuse. Man how I hate Quebec and all their bigots, especially when it comes to language.
Just like what the Fu#@#ken language police did yesterday to McKibbons pub, telling them to take down all their english signs from INSIDE THE BAR. and what’s worse, they told them, that too much english is being spoken inside. Can you believe that? English people get treated like 2nd class citizens, and don’t exist. well the rest of Canada and the world know how utterly stupid and racist french canadians are.

Montreal would never go after Richards 7.8 Million salary. Bob Gainey is too smart for that. Maybe leafs. Fletcher might though.
