- It’s hard not to feel bad for Byron Froese:/
C’est à un Byron Froese émotif à qui on vient de parler à Belleville. « Je ne m’y attendais pas. J’ai toujours porté le C avec le Rocket avec fierté. J’ai adoré jouer à Montréal l’an dernier. Ce fut émotif pour moi ce matin de dire bye aux gars. » @RocketLaval @CanadiensMTL
