Dominic RIchard interviewer par Renaud Lavoie en anglais.
Renaud = comme ca
Dominic = comme ca
You were born in Trois-Rivieres a town near Montreal. Tell us why you are french ?
Well my mother's origins are from Ireland and Scotland and she speaks english. So, during my mother's tongue is english. As a result i speak english.
Can you speak french at all?
Oui je le peux mais je suis plus comfortable en anglais.
Tres bien, if you would've been picked by the Canadiens do you think that the language you speak would of been a problem.
At first yes but i could learn french and as long as i can perform on the ice i don't think fans would've cared.
How are the negotiations going ?
I'd say pretty well, the organization has send me a text message asking me how much i think i am worth. I told the that players in the first round are worth this ... and told them a number and i am just waiting for the answer.
How much did you ask for ?
I'd rather not talk about money now but i can tell you it's the average wage of a first rounder.
Okay, did you start training ?
I try to train everyday, even during vacation. So yes i have. But not on ice.
I think the coach will be delighted with that.
I hope so and i love training you just feel so good after.
Our experts have described you as a prolific goalscorer. Is there any aspects of your game you think are good and which will you work on during pre-season.
I think i can handle the puck pretty well and i think i am fast on my skates. I would like to develop the physical side of my game during the off season.
Thank you Dominic for this interview and i wish you good luck.
Merci beaucoup Renaud, cela fut un plaisir.
