The NHL and Québec

Submitted by da HOOK on 30 April, 2008 - 07:58

In April, the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin. The Ottawa Senators lost 4-0 to the Pittsburgh Penguins; Montréal beat the Bruins 4 games to 3 and are now playing the Flyers. Anglophones can listen to the radio broadcasts for their teams live online. Up until last week or so, Francophones could listen to the French radio for the Canadien. For the Senators, NHL.com only has the English radio. Do they forget that the left bank of the Ottawa river is part of the province of Québec? Since Saturday the 19th, the link for the French radio for the Canadien (which, in French, is the correct form of Canadiens) connects to the English broadcast, as does the English link. I sent a complaint through the form at nhl.com; I only got the automated response, in English (except for my French comments).
