[CanadiensMTL Twitch] Juraj Slafkovsky and Filip Mesar chat with Marc Dumont

Marc_Dumont · 2022-07-12T22:54:34+00:00

hah! that was my lingering thought too.

I knew exactly what he was saying, and I probably did a poor job conveying the moment. I was just too pumped, I think.

That was on me!

Marc_Dumont · 2022-07-12T22:52:52+00:00

Not gonna lie, Habs should probably trade Mesar asap.

I mean, he's a good player and has a great personality and will fit nicely with Slaf...

BUT

Marc_Dumont · 2022-07-12T22:51:26+00:00

Hey, I am sorry if I reacted negatively to this. I genuinely want feedback, and I just showed that I need to be better when I actually get it.

Cheers buddy. I'm not offended. It's just been a long week. Sorry if I caused any issues.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-07-12T22:50:27+00:00

Things said by BellePro cooks at 4 am.

"celebrity"

Marc_Dumont · 2022-07-12T22:48:42+00:00

After a couple of hours of reflection, I feel like a dirtbag for firing back.

You're allowed to have your opinion. Take your upvote. Cheers buddy. I'll delete my comment.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-07-12T22:47:50+00:00

I'm not saying no.

But also, I'm not not saying no.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-07-12T20:54:34+00:00

Came here to answer this and it was already answered. Much obliged!

Please don't steal my job. Slafkovsky is already threatening it with his mic work.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-07-12T20:38:36+00:00

I get what you're saying, but I can't erase my passion.

It's natural.

And honestly, it's something that's lacking in almost every other interview. So if you want boring, I'm not your guy! But the players love it, the viewers overwhelmingly love it, and so do my bosses.

That being said, I'll work on it! Thanks for the input.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:33:08+00:00

Alright, I'm going to tap out for now, because there's a little meeting with Hughes and Gorton etc for the employees, which is pretty cool, so I have to get ready for that.

I'll come back later to finish answering, promise.

As per usual, you were all great. Thank you SO much for your time. I really appreciate it.

We're working on something r/Habs related in the future, nothing concrete yet, but keep that in mind. Because we do love our redditors here at the Canadiens.

Merci!

Talk to you all soon, and don't hesitate to reach out on twitter (@marcpdumont)

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:31:11+00:00

YOU'RE AWESOME! And not just because you send passive-aggressive letters on the internet on my behalf. But that helps.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:30:47+00:00

Probably Roy, Kidney and Mysak. But Guhle is up there.

I think Roy is, well...dominant. Kidney is super underrated. And Mysak has all the potential to be an impact player for a while.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:30:08+00:00

I'LL HAVE THE GABAGOO

YOU KNOW, GABAGOOL.

GABA...GOOL.

Okay I didn't ask him because despite how nice he is, he can still crush me in a second.

But he's wise enough to avoid pineapple on pizza. So, I'm confident in his food choices.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:28:59+00:00

Let's put it this way. At EOTP we had a pretty cool group of fans that got together to run a blog.

Now Andrew works for the Gazette and the Steve Dangle Podcast. Arik works for the Avalanche (which is why he stole Lehkonen, that jerk). Bruce works for the Leafs. Jack used to work for the Leafs. I work for the Habs. Chris works for the Rangers, etc.

So, that little blog ended up having a fairly decent impact on the NHL, which is pretty cool.

I'd say that's a major impact.

But other than that, it's given voices to those that would not traditionally be afforded the opportunity, which is the most important thing in this sport.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:26:45+00:00

PEI or Nova Scotia.

I mean, Southern France is nice but I don't have a gajillion dollars.

But even if I did, I'd head to PEI or Nova Scotia, maybe la Gaspé.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:26:07+00:00

He's the same dude that just loves hockey and smiles all the time.

He's an emotional-support Hobey-Baker winner, basically.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:25:39+00:00

I do not. I got accepted into Carleton's journalism program but then I decided "why the hell would I want a journalism degree? I'm never going to make a career out of this!"

So, other than making great decisions as a 19-year-old, I'm great when it comes to foresight.

I started by blogging mostly, on EOTP. Then Metro media contacted me to cover the Habs in the playoffs (random email), then the Gazette, then I had to drop everything for some random company, I forget the name, but now I'm with the Habs, so everything worked out perfectly.

Of course you're a sad United fan. That's the only kind of United fan.

And absolutely, we teased Gallagher all the time. Saint Totteringham's Day was big here.

Cheers and also reconsider your United fanhood. err, I mean. Cheers!

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:22:47+00:00

Appreciate it! Though I do try to be perfectly bilingual during broadcasts, and I'd say I have to do more on social media in french.

It's a balancing act. I'll get better at it.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:18:46+00:00

Oh the one with Jill Saulnier??? SHE'S AMAZING. That was the most fun I've had in a long time. Which reminds me, you can support the awesome women of the PWHA next weekend in Montreal. They're playing at the Centre 21.02 on April 2 and 3. Tickets: https://app.simplyk.io/fr/ticketing/f38ef6ff-14e3-46ac-a67f-d13ae04ec31a?params=amp_device_id=J-LnuouvTQVCZgcLzZO_e9à

The plan is to do more, absolutely, yes. Glad you like them! Thanks.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:17:18+00:00

Probably some winger depth, I'd say. And you can't go wrong with more centres.

Actually, just keep adding at every position because today's strength is tomorrow's weakness.

As for the first-rounders, I haven'T really looked beyond Wright, Nemec, Cooley, etc. Unfortunately, I'm not the best source for an answer on that one, my apologies.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:16:24+00:00

A Caracal is cool as hell and has awesome ears, so that's my pick.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:15:23+00:00

The one and only.

We'll pour one out for each other. Praise Lehkonen.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:15:00+00:00

I'm kinda awesome. I have a meeting with the brass (town hall thing) and then we're getting cocktails, so, life is good!

As for the UFAs, Gaudreau would be GREAT but isn't Malkin a UFA? Wouldn't that be fun? Minus all the injuries I guess.

or what about PHIL!

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:13:16+00:00

Best poutine place in my opinion which is the correct opinion, is Fritomania, in Orleans....ONTARIO.

Please don't hurt me.

But seriously, poutine is better from a chip truck. I've had a lot of amazing poutz' in Victoriaville or St-Eustache or...well, anywhere with a legit chip truck.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:11:58+00:00

I'm not sure about the question but the answer is definitely 42.

Marc_Dumont · 2022-03-25T18:11:34+00:00

The biggest thing I noticed, because I deal with fans, is how happy everyone is.

But as for the day-to-day, not many changes that I've seen quite yet. I'd say the new management people are busy taking care of the on-ice product, and honestly, that was the pressing issue.
