Just another example why soccer is miles and generations ahead of hockey in Quebec. Parochial nonsense, wrapped up in nationalist gibberish is absent in professional soccer. At the end of the day, the best man for the job is hired regardless of nationality or language. The fans demand the best. If he be Dutch so be it.
I won't give this more than it deserves.
Assume you're pot of candidates included what are considered to be the best coaches.
Listening to some in the French media, they're speaking as though Joel Quenneville would never have a shot here. Nor Ken Hitchcock. Or John Tortarella. They're already moaning that Bergevin went out and got Dudley and Mellanby (two excellent choices) because they're not "chez nous."
In any place, it's called discrimatory rhetoric. Here, it's called "respect."
Please.
I ask. Why would I give a penny to an organization that wouldn't hire the best?
