Malkin et ses Pinguins ont battu les Canadiens, stoppant ainsi à 4 leur série de victoire. On a bien joué, mais on ne peut pas espérer avoir du succès en accordant 5 buts par match. Cristo va se reprendre. Vieux Loup va !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En attendant, nous venons de rétrograder au &lt;a href="http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?service=page&amp;amp;page=StandingsPage&amp;amp;type=CON"&gt;5ième rang dans l'Est&lt;/a&gt;. Pittsburg est maintenant 4ième, ce qui laisse penser à certains amateurs qu'un affrontement en première ronde des séries est possible, mais certainement pas souhaitable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce soir, au Centre Bell, le&lt;a href="http://canadiens.nhl.com/team/app/l_fr/?service=page&amp;amp;page=NewsPage&amp;amp;articleid=354529"&gt; club des Canadiens retire le chandail no. 23 de Bob Gainey&lt;/a&gt;. En plus d'être un grand joueur, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Gainey"&gt;M. Gainey &lt;/a&gt;est un des artisans de la reconstruction de l'équipe, qui nous permet d'avoir tant de succès cette année. On pense également au drame qu'il a vécu l'an dernier, en perdant sa fille. Montréal vous aime, M. Gainey, its your night !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assez parler de hockey ! Plusieurs expositions qui vallent la peine d'être courrue dans notre belle ville. Le Montréaliste a particulièrement apprécié l'exposition au &lt;a href="http://www.mmfa.qc.ca/en/index.html"&gt;Musée des Beaux Arts sur Cuba&lt;/a&gt;. J'y ai été avec un ami cubain, c'était une expérience muséale uinique. Aussi, l'exposition sur le&lt;a href="http://www.chateauramezay.qc.ca/fra/expo/temp10.htm"&gt; Rocket au musée Ramezay&lt;/a&gt;, vaut la peine d'être visitée, même si vous n'êtes pas des accros de hockey. Si vous ne savez pas qui est le rocket, retournez dans votre grotte. OU dans votre bungalow à Laval (snobbisme montréaliste, c'est plus fort que moi).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5062650180565407249-5870161158948647012?l=montrealiste.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://montrealiste.blogspot.com/feeds/5870161158948647012/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5062650180565407249&amp;postID=5870161158948647012' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5062650180565407249/posts/default/5870161158948647012'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5062650180565407249/posts/default/5870161158948647012'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://montrealiste.blogspot.com/2008/02/montralits-du-samedi-matin.html' title='Montréalités du samedi matin'/><author><name>Pierre F.S.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062650180565407249.post-2384970100495271699</id><published>2008-02-21T14:34:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-02-21T15:02:46.861-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Habs</title><content type='html'>It is a know fact that the perfomances of the Canadiens pretty much define the vibe of this city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well habs are real hot right not, but its bloody cold and icy outside.

In a nearby café, I opened my laptop, hoping to hack the first wireless network. No luck, I couldn't get a connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I actually wanted to write something like: "habs are on fire, Kovy's mullet is getting long, our Price is right". But I could write all these glorious words after the game I figured we would most likely win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I tuned in to the game. I stopped watching after a period in a half: habs were down by 5 goals. Price had been pulled. Nothing was going &lt;a href="http://blogues.cyberpresse.ca/gagnon/?p=70313076"&gt;well&lt;/a&gt;. I actually left after a period and a half. I couldn't take it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On my way back, I taught to myself: thank god I didn't post that thing about the habs being on fire. I would've looked like a fool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back home, I actually started to write a post on how I almost got tricked. I even venture to call the Habs chokers. I was about to write that the Habs blew it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't done writting when my cellphone rang. My friend was scraming, back at the pub. He was trying to tell me we actually &lt;a href="http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=230075&amp;amp;hubname="&gt;won the game in the shootout&lt;/a&gt;. The bastard didn't call me before (when we tied up, for instance), to make me pay for my unfaithfulness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord, Habs fooled me twice tonight. It is a clutch moment, it is the first time we come back 5 g's in 100 years. I love you Ryder. I love you Kovy. I you Carbo. I'm stoked.

Sa lettre est &lt;a href="http://www.locolocass.net/biz/"&gt;ici.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cher Biz,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous tenons d’abord, en réaction à votre lettre, à souhaiter au gens de Québec un joyeux anniversaire. 400 ans, pour l’Amérique, c’est beaucoup. &lt;em&gt;Here’s to 400 more&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Par contre, je tiens à réagir aux propos tenus dans votre article qui concernent la nomenclature des rues. À ce propos, vous dites dans l’article : « &lt;em&gt;une bonne part du peu de mémoire que nous avons est occupée à glorifier nos conquérants .Combien de nos rues (Murray, Dorchester, Amherst) sont dédiées à des gouverneurs britanniques ?&lt;/em&gt; ».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vous vous dites militant souverainiste, Biz. Soit, pour sa part, ce blog lui, se veut rassembleur de l’identité montréaliste et je m’affirme donc comme neutre sur les questions d’ordre politique. Par contre, je dois dénoncer et m’opposer à votre ingérence dans ce domaine socio-historique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voyez-vous, je vous trouve fort hypocrite, car plus tôt dans la lettre, vous accusez certains (journalistes, j’imagine) d’être révisionnistes. Or, vous nous demandez de mettre une croix sur une lourde part de notre héritage britannique : la nomenclature des rues et des lieux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que vous le vouliez ou non, les dirigeants britanniques ont fait avancer le Québec pendant presque tout le XIXième siècle. Certes il y a eu la répression des patriotes et le &lt;a href="http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&amp;amp;Params=f1ARTf0002473"&gt;rapport Durham&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;em&gt;Je me souviens.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Par contre, je crois que comparez les dirigeants britanniques aux fascistes de la seconde guerre mondiale, comme vous le faite lorsque vous dites qu’on ne retrouve pas de « place Pétain dans la ville de Vichy », est totalement aberrant. Lors de la conquête de 1759, les britanniques ont brûlé &lt;a href="http://www.ville.quebec.qc.ca/fr/exploration/1608-1763.shtml"&gt;200 maisons &lt;/a&gt;! Big deal ! Pétain est responsable de la déportation de centaines de milliers de juifs français !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je tiens également à souligner que les Français ont vécu 3 ans sous le régime de Vichy. 3 ans sur 5000 ans d’Histoire sur le territoire Français. À Québec, on ne se trompe pas en disant que 250 des 400 d’Histoire de la ville ont été vécus alors que la ville était sous influence anglo-saxonne. Faîtes vous-même les maths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Également, il faut considérer que la ville de Québec, en 1759 comptait 8000 habitants. Elle en compte maintenant &lt;a href="http://www.ville.quebec.qc.ca/fr/exploration/1945-2000.shtml"&gt;508 000&lt;/a&gt;. Les 250 ans de « colonisation » n’ont pas fait que du mal, donc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vous parlez plus haut des rues « Dorchester ». L’exemple de Montréal est éloquent. Je ne déplore pas le changement de nom (maintenant boulevard René Lévesque), mais il ne faut pas oublier que ce sont les britanniques qui, en &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_L%C3%A9vesque_Boulevard"&gt;1844 &lt;/a&gt;on donné le premier nom à la rue. Il en est de même pour plusieurs autres rues, entre autres au centre-ville de Montréal. Contrairment aux politiciens nazis, ils n'ont pas renommés les lieus, ils les ont construits. Il faut donner à César ce qui revient à César.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette nomenclature est justifiée, donc. Pour ma part, en montréaliste, je n’angoisse pas à l’idée de débarquer au métro Peel pour aller prendre une bière au Dominion Square. Sur le chemin du retour, lorsque je croise un couple de touristes américains, cette nomenclature me rend même fier. Transcendant du politique, mes propos sont d’ordre sociologique, lorsqu’ils me demandent (c’est arrivé souvent!) de leurs expliquer la nature de ce square. Je leur répond que c’est un symbole de l’ancien empire britannique. Que maintenant, les francophones, vaste majorité ont le pouvoir, mais qu’avant la Révolution Tranquille, c’était les britanico-canadiens. L’évolution vers le meilleur, sans toutefois tenter de renier (ou réviser, cher Biz) le passé, est une source de fierté.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je vous sens frustré, mais faites donc attention. Je vous vois mal avoir le courage de passer ce genre de message dans un Cégep Anglophone, par exemple.

Les éléments incontournables sociaux, culturels et sportifs (habs habs baby) seront traités avec rigueur et humour&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aussi, je me rend compte que plusieurs Montréalais connaisse mal leur ville. Sans être une sommité, un travail d'été en tourisme m'en a appris beaucoup sur &lt;a href="http://www.urbaneus.com/fr/architecture/182086/les-eglises-de-montreal-les-beautes-du-siecle-passe.html"&gt;la ville aux 100 clochers &lt;/a&gt;(et oui, c'est un surom qu'on lui donne).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Par exemple, qui se souvient de la devise de Montréal ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armoiries_de_Montr%C3%A9al"&gt;CONCORDIA SALUS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Le salut par la concorde". Cette devise fait référence  au fait qu'une bonne entente (concorde) entre les peuples fondateurs a été essentielle au développement de la ville. C'est de là que vient le nom de &lt;a href="http://concordia.ca/about/whoweare/ourhistory/"&gt;l'université Concordia.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;À plus !&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5062650180565407249-3589831597367139287?l=montrealiste.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://montrealiste.blogspot.com/feeds/3589831597367139287/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5062650180565407249&amp;postID=3589831597367139287' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5062650180565407249/posts/default/3589831597367139287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5062650180565407249/posts/default/3589831597367139287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://montrealiste.blogspot.com/2008/02/premier-billet.html' title='Premier billet !'/><author><name>Pierre F.S.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
