The city of Montreal is very proud of their French Heritage. The nickname Habs for the Montreal Canadiens, even stands for Habitants, which refered to early French settlers in Canada. But fans are not happy that interim coach Randy Cunneyworth only speaks English. 68% consider French their first language, while only 16% speaks English.
While only three players on the current roster can speak French, Two French groups, French Quebec Movement and French Movement Montreal, are planning to protest Cunneyworth as coach outside the Bell Centre on Jan. 7, when the Habs host the Tampa Bay Lightning.

It’s hard to find a hockey player who will turn down a drink… try 22 of them. But when Ryan Reynolds sent a round of shots to the Boston Bruins, they refused. It didn’t help that Reynolds defended his hometown Vancouver Canucks to the Bruins earlier in the night.
And in good reason, the Canucks lost to the Bruins in a tough 7 game series. After the harsh exchange of words, the Canadian actor tried to make amends, but the Bruins gave the tequila shots to a Bachelorette party at a nearby table.
At least Reynolds gave it his best shot…
Proof that stupid is an international language… NHL star Alexander Ovechkin stars in a Russians rap video. Enjoy!
Congratulations to Hilary Duff and her NHL husband Mike Comrie who announced Sunday they are pregnant with their first child. Duff announced the exciting news on her official blog saying on the couple’s one year wedding anniversary, “I can’t believe it has already been a year, time really flies when you’re having fun! We also want to share the exciting news that…… BABY MAKES THREE!!! We are extremely happy and ready to start this new chapter of our lives. Thanks to everyone for the continued love and support throughout the years!”
News came to a suprise to fans of the couple when in May Duff told Access Hollywood that her and Comrie would wait to start of family so she could release another album. But Comrie may just be playing Mr. Mom since he announced he would be taking a break from hockey after having hip surgery.
The 30-year old Canadian last played for the Pittsburgh Penguins but is now an unrestricted free agent. Duff, who is 23, and Comrie met when he played for the New York Rangers.
