Out of the Red, White and Blue: GM, Coach, Draft, Subban
As a complement to my recent article on bilingual candidates, we look at an update on the next Habs’ GM, the next head coach and the team’s third overall pick.
Habsterix
Habsterix is a fictional character created for the sole purpose of the internet. Based on the cartoon Asterix of Gaule, his magic potion is his passion for the Montreal Canadiens. How old is he? His close friends will tell you that he’s so old, his back goes out more than he does! He was born when Béliveau lifted the Cup and remembers the days when seeing the Habs winning was not a wish, it was an expectation. For him, writing is a hobby, not a profession. Having moved to beautiful British Columbia in 1992, he started writing mostly in French to keep up his grammar, until non-bilingual BC friends pushed him into starting his own English Blog. His wife will say that he can be stubborn, but she will be the first to recognise that he has great sense of humour. He is always happy to share with you readers his point of views on different topics, and while it is expected that people won’t always agree, respect of opinions and of others is his mission statement.

Was it a Bad or Good Season for Habs’ Subban?
So much has been said around the league, through fans and media, that young P.K. Subban was having a bad year. Some were blaming it on the ever popular excuse of the sophomore jinx, while others simply jumped to the occasion, based on the fact that they didn’t like him, to proclaim that he was highly overrated, that he was a disruption more than an asset for his team.
