Gally can f*** off.

 

[ahmedou]

Suzuki = Captain Tsubasa

 

[Team_Spirit]

In b4 the lock

Also it's only temporary until Mesar is ready.

Feel bad he now will be forced to learn another language

Feel bad he now will be forced to learn another language

Why?

 

[BJCOLLINS]

he’s a good kid, he’ll grow with the captaincy & make us all proud.

Like about half the planet, poor guy.

 

[Tyson]

A smart young man very cognizant of the culture he is in and I predict he will be able to speak French in the future. It seems to matter to him.

You mean Bergevin was Gally’s bitch.

Former Habs captains who never did: Mike Keane, Shea Weber.

Don't forget cancel culture is in full effect these days.

Actually maybe out of the 500 people I know here in Ontario, one speaks it if that. But yes, half the planet.

 

[OldCraig71]

I can't believe that politicians would actually say that a kid should learn french because he is the new captain. They should have more important priorities than discussing what is happening with an NHL team.

 

[CapSpace]

Slick Noodlezki.

 

[Price is Wright]

Gally can f*** off.

Gallagher shut the media down asking why he wasn't captain and put over Nick Suzuki as the heart of the team.

 

[Big Empty]

Brutal

Damn why they do this to the young players?

I don't see Suzuki lasting very long here... 2-3 years everyone will be on his case.

poor guy

Lol…they are already trying to make him look like a fool. Give the kid a break

Half the planet learns more than one language either organically or out of necessity.

I really don't understand the obsession with trying to turn non francophone players into francophones.

While it seems like a softball question for most of us we have to remember Suzuki is 20 years younger than I am, at least, and didn't grow up as a Habs fan.

It would be like asking me to recognize a player who played in the 50s for the Leafs.

Yeah but with everything surrounding Guy's passing he should've gotten the question easily. I guess I could chalk it up to being nervous on live TV.

Like about half the planet, poor guy.

And quite a few players in the NHL

For Koivu it was obviously complicated being Finish and having to learn English and French but it shouldn't cause too much of a problem for a smart Canadian kid to speak a bit of French before the end of his long contract.

Suzuki said he had a base already as should be the case for most kids who grew up in Canada.
