Anglo as new Habs head coach?!
Many Quebecers say Montreal Canadiens' new interim head coach, Randy Cunneyworth, is a bad choice for the job because he doesn't speak French.

I'd be willing to bet #Habs coach Randy #Cunneyworth would have never in a million years thought he'd find himself in this situation #Qcpoliby sidhartha_b via twitter 12/19/2011 7:42:59 PM -

Also, the last time the #Habs had a non-French speaking coach was in 1971-72. They won the Cup that year, but demoted coach after. #OnlyHabsby bizjacobs via twitter 12/19/2011 9:34:19 PM -

If I was Cunneyworth, I wouldn't want to stay with the Candiens' organization after the season. The press doesn't know a thing about sports.by dalesio via twitter 12/19/2011 9:36:19 PM -
From twitter, @habsinsideout1: Hilarious that Quebec politicians have ALL agreed on #Habs. These guys can't even agree that potholes suck

Habs are so concerned that Cunneyworth doesn't speak "Le French", what do you think LA is going to do when they find out Sutter can barely speak English?
-
If the recist province of Quebec demands the coach of the Montreal Canadians hockey team MUST speak French, then maybe all Canadians must demand that all citizens of the province of Quebec must speak english. They are after all part of the country of Canada and English is the majority language. All of Canada should boycott all products made in Quebec. www.cbc.ca

Montreal Canadiens-if that team is being forced to hire a French speaking coach than Quebec.. you just got a little more pathetic in my book

I wouldn't blame Cunneyworth one bit if he quit. None of this is his fault, and I can only imagine living through it. #Habsby Mike Armstrong via twitter 12/20/2011 8:16:22 PM -

Montreal Canadiens, THE CANADIAN PRESS : The hiring of Randy Cunneyworth was enough to prompt calls, from nationalist fringe groups, for a boycott of products related to the Habs. One political commentator even suggested local hockey journalists should refuse to address Cunneyworth in English. And Quebec's entire political class predictably weighed in, with politicians of every stripe calling the move unacceptable.

I'd love to be the simultaneous translator for Cunneyworth! Finally my diploma would give me something fun to do!

Let's stop worrying about Randy Cunneyworth not being able to speak french. That will be learnt. Let's worry about winning hockey games and making the playoffs.
