Marchand is a French name. Language isn't the issue. If it were anything but a red herring I'd say Feekenzee richt! German is easier for an Anglophone. That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while, your last name means nothing about what language you speak, up in the north we've got McIntyre, McGrath's Kenny's that speak only french with very little English, and last year for the Tigers in Jr. A we had a kid by the name of Cody LaFrancois from Quispamsis who spoke no french at all. The fact that someones great-grandfather was French means nothing to their descendants mother tongue. Most of my family was french, and deported to New Orleans, and came back to English communities and now the French names still remain, but very little french is in the family.

Read the second sentence. Language isn't the issue. Lewiston is filled with thousands of English speaking only people with French surnames. A player is NOT going to europe because of language, even he played in England. Marchand will get drafted, this crap will have nothing to do with his draft position.

lol...none of you people talking trash about marchand know half of the situation...you people all need to take your asses out of here unless you have true information...language is the issue, the guy doesnt speak a word of frecnh and every one knows that if your 100% english up their, you are treated like shit...and cry baby cuz he's leaving his family?? yeah i think that is a reasonable reason. ask any scout and they'll tell you that family is number 1!!! I like how you guys were his fans when he was a moncton wildcat. read the article on the wildcats website from a few days ago, "It's disappointing," said Marchand. "Leaving Moncton was extremely sad for me. I was there for the last two years and I've grown to know a lot of people there. I have a new family there. I'm really going to miss it." the guy loved it there, grow a sack and have some curtesy you fucken jokes... the funny thing is that most of the people on here are probably the fat old men that never even played hockey in their lives, just grew up hockey fans but never had the drive to do anything as a hockey player...and you can say anything you want about french people being in lewiston and what not, but it's not anything like going to fucken quebec where the people give canada a terrible name...so maybe when you knobs have a little bit of legitimate information, then you should say something on here...ohhh yeah and try some constructive criticism for once!!!

That's fine steve but come on now if he wants to make the pro to you think its a smart Idea to start saying the stuff like he did in the paper today especially with the draft tomorrow. What kind of message does that send to NHL teams. In one sence he crying of how far it is and in another he saying he might go to Europe. What's up with that. If no one want to report to VD why have a team there. Is VD that bad of a place to play? Marchard (Who's your Daddy) But Marchand is not saying he will not report no matter what... he's simply saying he's not big on the idea of leaving the Wildcats and going to Val d'Or. He's also saying that he may pursue other avenues and the Val d'Or organization is being unreasonable in his eyes. However... he also says that if the team that potentially drafts him says playing in Val d'Or is in his best interests, he will go. Personally, I think he'll be there. You claim he is pulling a Lindros. What you seem to be forgetting is that Lindros REFUSED to report... under ANY circumstances... first to Sault Saint Marie, then to the Nords. That's NOTHING like this situation. Firstly, Marchand isn't near as high profile as Lindros was. Secondly, you aren't hearing a peep out of his family (thus making your "who's your daddy" comment" look even more stupid and out of place). Thirdly, Marchand isn't saying "I won't play there no matter what"... he's saying "I don't like the idea of going there, but if that's in my best interest, I'll do it". THANK YOU!!!!...finally someone who knows what they're talknig about...looks like he actually took the time to read the details of the article...somebody with some class!!!

every one knows that if your 100% english up their, you are treated like shit ...and you can say anything you want about french people but it's not anything like going to fucken quebec where the people give canada a terrible name...so maybe when you knobs have a little bit of legitimate information, then you should say something on here! Just an FYI--the Wildcats play in the QUEBEC Major Junior Hockey League and the year is now 2006,so why don't you get with the times...or else get lost you racist little prick.

Thanks for your contribution to the board beantown. It was quite interesting to read that some in Nova Scotia believe that Quebec is evil. Relative or friend of Marchand?

The name might be the Quebec major junior hockey league, but i mean 8 teams are from outside Quebec!... IMO im not sure using the name to prouve your point is really helping! IMO I dont really think that the French-only players are very keen on playing in SJ's either so whats the difference if an english guy isnt keen on playing in Quebec?... Like it or not theses are still KIDS we are talking about and things like language barriers, travelling 6 hrs for a road trip or being that far from your familly who have always been to most of your games and not very far away arent very appealing for any of theses kids french or english; from Quebec or not. One more thing...why is it so bad that Marchand isnt that keen on going to VD but will if its in his best interest but when JS Adam REFUSED to report there it wasnt such a big deal? Keep in mind that Adam is completly french and orginaly from Quebec...i mean that has to say something about VD doesnt it?

Could have expressed yourself a little better without all the f-ing words. Also bye saying that most quebecers don't want to be part of canada that not true. Your very Racist with alot of your comments and to say marchand going to quebec because he 100 per cent english. Well what up with him saying he might go to Europe. And what Language do they speak over then. Give me a break. He Drafted and they will make him report to VD. Suck it up sally

Speaking a different language doesn't make it a different race, it's bigotry not racism. But I'm sure you all knew that already......
PS On a side note, my parents went to Quebec a few years back, and my mother who is French and who's family comes from the Gaspe coast was ridiculed while speaking French in a restaurant, so as a generalization you can't paint them all with the same brush, but they do have their arrogant crowd as well.

The article says he will do nothing about signing until after the Bruins camp. As I understand it if he does not make the Bruins he get sent back to whoever owns his rights and that is Val 'dOr. Even as bad as the Bruins are right now I do not think he is ready for the NHL. Karsums will be there first.
