“The pool of Senators fans who live in Gatineau is important to us. You have to take care of it. »
Next thing you know : the organization purchases pub on Facebook (restricted to Quebec territory)…and she inserts four or five French mistakes (syntax or spelling).
Take care… of the first responders evening… December 11… take your tickets…
We can even add to this list the expression firefighterused in France, but not in Quebec. Artificial intelligence does not distinguish between French French and Quebec French!
How to make a faux effort for French with sauce Senators…
Unfortunately, the French eat one too often cr*ss in Ottawa, in the words of a friend who worked there for a few years.
Some Internet users have pointed the finger at Sylvain St-Laurent, former journalist who became director of communications for the Senators (whose clear mandate is to bring the organization closer to Sens of his French-speaking supporters from Quebec). However, the pubs on Facebook do not go through Sylvain. At the Canadian, you really believe that Chantal is in charge of pubs on Facebook (which my colleague Jean Trudel does not like, by the way)? Nah! It comes from the marketing and/or Web department…
But hey, as a former director of the CH Group told me: another director of the Montreal organization has already proposed meeting to abolish the French-speaking version of the site Web of the team. French is unfortunately far from being respected as it should be by many English speakers in the country…
Especially when an organization (like the Senators) is not rolling in gold, has revenues in CAD, but spends a lot in USD and a large majority of its fans speak English. Except that when you get there, you either advertise in French properly, or you don’t. That’s it.
Ducks vs Canadiens
The Ducks will be at the Bell Center this evening to face the Canadian. They have just suffered two thaws in front of their fans (4 to 1 against the Golden Knights and 5 to 1 vs the Wild) and they will soon begin a series of four games in the East of the continent.
The Ducks (10-12-3) have the same number of points as CH, but with two games in hand. The Canadian is still favorite for one of the rare times since the start of the season – even at home, the Montrealers often have the highest odds – and one might think that tonight’s match could be « facile » for the Habs.
Be careful though! The Ducks players – who are 5-3-2 on the road this season – went to drink wine at the Palma last night.
For some reason that defies all logic, the teams that visited Palma the day before a match all won their duel against the Canadian in 2024-25, except once. Will this somewhat crazy statistic continue tonight?
Note that Jacob Trouba should play a first match with his new team.
Will Josh Anderson (revenge) or Arber Xhekaj throw down the gloves with him?
Will Radko Gudas and Jacob Trouba form a defensive duo worthy of the ’90s?
We’ll see, as they would say the other the head of French for the Senators!
Don’t deal with the Avalanche again, Kent!
Marc Bergevin had faults: he offered too lucrative contracts to certain players with whom he fell in the staff… he let appreciated and useful players slip away (Allo Phil Danault !)… he was unpleasant at the end of his reign in Montreal…
But he won eight or nine transactions that he completed out of ten. He fucked almost everyone literally.
Max Pacioretty vs. Nick Suzuki, Tomas Tatar and a second-round pick…
Phillip Danault and a choice that became Alexander Romanov vs Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise…
Shea Weber vs P.K. Subban…
Jeff Petry vs. two picks (no first round)…
Thomas Vanek vs almost nothing…
There is – from memory – only the exchange Drouin vs Sergachev which left negative traces.
Kent Hughes has the upper hand in 50% of his tradeshis. #DanceLaMoyenne
Except that when he trades with the Avalanche, he just doesn’t have itKent.
Sending Artturi Lehkonen for Justin Barron and a second-round pick (Carter George) already ranks in the bad trade column. Justin Barron’s nonchalance will likely prevent Barron from becoming a quality defenseman in the NHL.
And give a first round pick (Mikhail Gulyayev), a pick of two (Ethan Gauthier) and Gianni Fairbrother for Alex Newhook (still looking for his first assist of the season, after 27 games, even if he plays on the team’s first line), it’s not aging well as move…
When Chris MacFarland calls you, Kent, to find out the price of Jake Evans, don’t answer. Or hang up right away. You know the adage: never two without three…
