Money: Cornellians lost to (and gained from) the portal

Boston Globe article on how new NCAA rules could impact college hockey:

Article in French about Cournoyer.

He seems to be claiming that the rest of the team didn't like it when he and Veilleux spoke in French to each other? And then the headline of course spins it into "he didn't have the right".

I just want him to leave his old program alone at this point.

Who even knows whether his quotes are being goaded, mistranslated, misquoted, or flat out just invented?  It's sports media.  It's bullshit by definition, monetized by being interesting, not accurate.

Just like our French speaking coach.

«[Les Badgers] ont gagné six championnats nationaux, a plaidé Cournoyer. C'est le programme en tant que tel et le fait d'avoir une meilleure chance de gagner un championnat national. »

"[The Badgers] have won six national championships," Cournoyer said. It's the program itself and having a better chance of winning a national championship. »

Here's hoping for an NCAA game between Les Badgers and the State University of New York (at Ithaca)

I'm now joining (presumably) BearLover in rooting for Cournoyer to ride the pine and for the Badgers to not sniff a Frozen Four while he is there.

he's going to keep getting asked about it and he's going to keep answering questions. you're probably not going to like most of his answers. tbh after a great opening couple of months - and despite the possible issues we're going to have at goalie this year - i didn't think he was all that good second semester.

I agree. He's good but never took over a game for us. Bon Voyage. No way for us to know what was going on in the locker room, but I kinda call BS on a 'no french' rule.

i think bernie ran the stats with me once and after the first 10 games or so he was worse than shane last year...

From the article itself it sounds like there wasn't a "no French" rule, that was the headline for clickbait. Cournoyer in the article said more that (presumably?) some of the other guys(?) were calling him and XV "Frenchies" (and presumably related shit) when they'd talk in French, so they stopped doing it. Which... again, Casey is a Francophone too, I severely doubt there was a rule or anything like that.

and ngl like... considering much of the shit that goes down in hockey locker rooms, this is what you took offense to? like fr my own father says worse shit about my mom and i speaking polish around him, you can't be that damn sensitive right, isn't like 90% of quebecois identity "fuck the english speakers we don't care what they say allez les habs"?
