He’s giving the wide-eyed stare!
On the set of the latest episode of On va se le dire, the atmosphere was festive, buoyed by a line-up of personalities as dazzling as Véronique Cloutier, Normand D’Amour, Bianca Gervais, Marina Orsini, Neev and MC Gilles.
Shoot your scoop
Did you see anything? Secrecy guaranteed.
While the guests on set tackled heavier topics—like the decline of culture and other anxiety-inducing issues, including the environment—Sébastien Diaz deftly steered the conversation toward a completely different terrain.
A terrain, however, almost as slippery, if not more so, than the previous one…
Tie Your Skates, Here We Go!
“But you have to cling to the small things, like… the Canadiens’ hot start to the season, at least for now,” says the host of the rendezvous.
“(…) For now, Lane Hudson, Demidov, let’s go the boys! I’m happy, I’m eight years old. The last time I was excited about hockey, Kovalev and PK Subban were playing; so it’s been a long time. Now things are going well, and what’s extraordinary about this season and the Canadiens’ start isn’t what happens right away: it’s that the next five games are going to be glorious,” Neev notes, clearly invested this season.
Watch Out for the Fans…
“But you know, right now, this is typical of the Montreal Canadiens. A terrific autumn, and then after the holidays…,” Véronique remarks, triggering a sudden reaction from Normand.
Time for a Barrage of Shots
“No, no, no, no, not here,” Normand shouts in response to Véronique’s remarks.
“This is chaos,” she continues, stoking a fire that was already blazing.
“Not right now, that’s not what’s happening,” the partisan insists firmly.
«Ah! Tabarouette! Normand, the eyes… He’s giving the wide-eyed stare», Véronique teases, amused by her colleague’s intensity.
«It’s beyond what we’ve hoped for in 30 years», Normand continues.
«Dr Saint-Cyr is talking to you», you can hear amid the action, a touch cacophonous, in reference to the character played by the comedian in STAT.
«Pascal, you’re going to put me on the ketamine», adds Véronique, still laughing, a fan of the show in which Normand acts.
After this slip-up, rest assured, it happened in the midst of laughter, even if Normand’s sudden reaction surprised more than a few, Neev wanted to add one last weight to the Canadiens’ favor.
«You know what, I’ll tell you what my dad told me… My dad arrived here in the early ’70s, and he says: I feel the fire of Lafleur, Shutt…»
«Really?», respond those who hadn’t given much hope.
What to Take Away From This Clash
A moment that clearly shows that fans’ passion is very much alive and that hope, despite a few disappointments from Montembeault, remains firmly rooted in the hearts of the Canadiens faithful.
So, for this season, do you align with Véronique, who believes the game will slow after the Holidays, or with Normand and Neev, who insist this season is truly different?
Have a great season, everyone… and to those who don’t follow but live with fans: good luck with your patience, and don’t hesitate to pop the corks to survive the evenings: “Here we go! Let’s go!”.
