Habs in Paris next year; what team could be a villain France/Paris/Francophonie could sink their teeth into?

[tinyzombies]

First thing I thought of was Patriot Fries, but I don't think France really cares what rednecks in America think? I doubt they will care about Toronto or Boston, and I get the impression Parisians might root for NYC over us lol.

First of all, I don't think French people hate Americans. And despite certain media things you see, Americans generally have a favorable view of France as well.

But, I'm looking for an enemy here...

Boston or Toronto seems like the obvious choices IMO

Paris vs Boston? Paris vs Toronto? I don't see it. Parisians don't even know where those cities are probably.

Dallas Stars I would think is pretty red neck. Or New York Rangers for the Americana hate. But Boston is the most obvious cause they always come off like villains. Their emblem is a big dangerous animal.

Dallas is actually now a quite moderate city in a sea of red, but you don't have to tell them that. I guess Boston?

I wonder if this means a big free agent signing or a big trade because sending the habs to Paris with this teams barring a development miracle by 4-5 players into stars next year is more of a show of force.

Paris is okay, just too many French people

The problem with mtl is too many france people. The problem with france is not enough france people.

 

[Walrus26]

Even the French hate the Parisiens!

ABO

Anyone but Ottawa. (It's gonna be Ottawa)

Interesting how the thread never even grazed hockey.

France national team be cool, or something novel. New York would have appeal to Parisians I would think…

 

[Film Noir]

The Kings obviously.

 

[BLONG7]

Maybe let's just see them play in North America as per usual, and look back at what happened to the Sens by going to Europe to start their season, in October....
Yes, let's do that.....................and leave Paris, to the tourists....

 

[teamfirst]

The Nords would have been an easy choice

 

[MtlSars]

Move the coyotes to Louisiana!!!!!!!!

Just give them the NY Rangers or something, they'll feel important

 

[Player 61]

I'm Okay with With Euro intrest in NHL. Germany Swiss. Nordic.. etc. France I think Paris might prefer to see the Montreal Soccer(Footbal not Alourttes)l) team. I mean no dis-respecr.. at all. Hockey is Qiuebec's Game, but not so Much France..... R.

 

[cphabs]

Ice Hogs from the AHL should stir up our so called “Parisians” inhabitants of Paris…

I thought about the same, but then, this would be a habs team in exhibition mode versus a french team that would do everything to win. I'm not sure it's that good an idea.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

The Kings obviously.

I don't think so. They have the most players with francophone names. Parisians will be surprised to see players having french names who doesn't speak french. French people doesn't know much about hockey (they call it ice hockey, hockey sur glace) and their knowledge of America have serious flaws. They could hate the villain based on any influent person of their medias, that influent person will have fake news.

But it doesn't matter, it will be forgotten 3 days later. Parisians have plenty of problems to worry about.

 

[Habs13]

I don't think anybody in Paris gives a shit...

 

[CHwest]

Who cares, it's a side show.

 

[Kimota]

Dallas is actually now a quite moderate city in a sea of red, but you don't have to tell them that. I guess Boston?

Yea I know Dallas is pretty modern but I am running out of options there, bro. lol Maybe Nashville?

 

[Spring in Fialta]

whatever team has the most Cajuns or players that like to turtle, skate away in defeat


have you been there lately? There's like 10 No-go zones for the french, its very very... unfrench these days lol.

Have YOU been there lately? Cause you sound of full of shit and not aware of what Paris is actually like.

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

Washington should be the answer for most countries I think

Yes, picked up my kid there in Dec. I have immediate family all over the region. Are you butthurt like this all the time? Do you need a scream pillow or something to vent your anger?

You write frenchs act like turtles who skate away in defeat. They went thru wars not so long ago and they had plenty of terrorism acts on their soil. Canadians who never faced such ugly events have no idea. This is not nice that turtle comparaison. I agree with the no-go zones, it's well documented.
