Vodkov named deputy leader of Parti Québécois

Unwilling to let BGL steal the political spotlight, Habs D Andrei Markov has announced he has been named by the Parti Québécois as their new deputy leader in charge of immigration. Markov, a recently-named Canadian citizen, has been secretly taking French lessons in light of comments from an Anglo journalist. PQ leader Pauline Marois sought out the Habs D and recruited him upon hearing the news that Markov had already mastered the essential phrases "deux bières s'il vous plait" and "vive le Québec libre," and to count to 50% +1 in French. She knew he would have some free time considering the injury that will prevent him from the starting the season with his teammates. "With his new-found love of smokes, beer, and an independent Québec, we knew Andrei was the perfect choice to represent the next generation of Québécois," said Marois.

Bertrand Raymond was said to be pleased with the news.

You know I kinda miss rene. At least he was up front in a cute sort of loveable way. This Marois creature could sour milk from across the street. Also it was due to rene that we had a proper phrase for a comb-over that is " to levesque" your hair.

Does it bother anyone else that Doug Jarvis is now an assistant coach with the Broons?

That's a good look for Andrei.

As for the Heritage Classic 2.0, omg Flames get vintage white shorts to wear! They're going all out on this heritage stuff.

Fantastic post. Now if this leads habs fans to stuff the ballot box in the next referendum like they did at the last All Star Game, the PQ won't regret their choice. ;)

Can La Castafiore sing Gens du Pay at the Bell Center?
Actually, that phrase has some potential, particularly regarding Monsier Phat Baleiene.

Great post and even better photo shop.

I think Andrei needs follow the lead of Matthieu Schneider (nee Matthew as in "Matthew if you go out take a sweater", "Matthew come practice your bar mitzvah" and my favorite "Matthew would you like some tsimmis with your brisket?" Schneider) and change the spelling of his name to show the media that he means business. Bienvenue André.
