The story of Félix Auger-Aliassime is a photo on page 76 of yesterday's newspaper that tells it.I hope you did not light the fire fire without watching it.
Look at the calves (we are publishing this photo again).Look at the right thigh, that of the momentum.Fabulous bodybuilding.A gift from God.In any case, a gift from mom and dad.
Félix is this photo.He is only 21 years old.He lacked the power of physical maturity.The head, the talent, the intelligence of the game, he had it.He even already had his business manager, Bernard Duchesneau.The one who acts as bodyguard with the bad journalists.
Sunday, Félix Auger-Aliassime launched the signal.He is ninth in the world, and looking at the way he demolished Stefanos Tsitsipas, he cheerfully heads for a Top 5.
Dans un temps pas si lointain, je prenais l’avion pour aller couvrir Sébastien Lareau à Melbourne, en Australie. Il n’était pas toujours dans le top 100 quand j’atterrissais. Et regarder Martin Laurendeau manger ses bananes aux changements de côté à Wimbledon quand il avait atteint les 16esde finale en 1991 était une extraordinaire aventure.
I have a weak idea of the trips that "King Mathieu" and Jessica Lapinski will offer in the next 12 years.Félix and "Shapo" to put themselves under the tooth, what a treat!
I only hope that the snow ball will grow while driving and that hundreds of young Quebecers will have a taste for hitting a tennis ball on a beautiful summer day.You never know where the big ball will stop ...
A deep evil
We will soon be able to start the assessment of Marc Bergevin.Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes undertook the household.Tyler Toffoli left.Why him and not Brendan Gallagher?Because Toffoli costs only $ 4.25 million per season and still advances on a ice rink.Fans will watch this poor Gallagher Painer long months before seeing him release from the payroll to the Canadian.
The next one should be Jeff Petry.Although in his case, he is already gone.It is just that it is not yet official and that it can still harm the organization by wearing a tricolor sweater.
This assessment is likely to be catastrophic.In fact, the Stanley Cup final will have been an accident of course allowed by COVID-19 and a waterfall of formidable boost of the destiny.This final obscured the appalling state of the team and saved Marc Bergevin's ass.
But the evil was deep, the gaps in the draft and the development of the players were obvious and I know for having discussed with people of the seventh floor, that some senior leaders of the CH had understood that a disaster was prepared.
Except that one could not put outside a managing director who had just reached the final of the Stanley Cup.
It's simple.The Canadian has won how many games since Jeff Gorton has been in office?And Kent Hughes?And Martin St-Louis?
They know it.The other, the record they did.
The cousin of Martin St-Louis
The good Lord and Donato are good for valiant journalists.Saturday evening at Lezvos in Saint-Sauveur, a little madam, blonde and lit, wore a blue t-shirt with the effigy of Martin St-Louis and the No. 26 of the Lightning of Tampa Bay.
She stopped at our table and we stung a rifle jase that was worth the grilled octopus of the restaurant.
Suzanne Raymond is the cousin via the godfather of Martin Saint-Louis.
"It was I who kept him when he was very young.His family, his father Normand, his mother, the St-Louis, is a good people who are not believable.Martin was raised with the right values.His father worked hard to be able to take him once or twice to the forum to see the Canadian, "said Suzanne.
She confirmed to me that Martin had cried Rage when Steve Yzerman had put her aside for the Olympic team of Sochi ...
Worse other stories for the bag.
Suzanne listens to 91.9, RDS and TVA Sports, she recognized Lady Ju and knows more about hockey than many patent analysts and commentators.A beautiful and instructive meeting.
Rap and NFL
We will agree that Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are not too much my cup of tea.I can't find a note from Mozart or Beethoven in their "music".But Zach, Kim Numès and thousands of young people tripped thoroughly.
What matters is NFL's decision to open the valves for a great offer of black POP culture.Poetry, dance, and black rap for 100 million white -white viewers.
There is never chance when millions of dollars are at stake. Last spring, in the major NFL offices, specialists, communicators, businessmen and people from the commissioner's office decided toStrike the big blow with the Super Bowl.
A strong signal
The NFL is often continued.There was the Colin Kaepernick affair and the knee on the ground, the pursuit of Brian Flores against the New York giants for having been used in order to make an increase that a black has a real chance of being the coach of thecrew...
In short, despite the efforts of the commissioner and the pressure groups, the blacks are still drawing legs in a circuit where they excel.
The signal sent Sunday evening by the NFL is strong.In addition, even without Mozart and Beethoven, it was really very good.
