The last-place Montreal Canadiens apologized to those fans upset with the team for not hiring a coach who speaks French. The apology by general manager Pierre Gauthier on Monday comes two weeks after the appointment of coach Randy Cunneyworth touched off a language flap. The Canadiens market themselves as French Canada's team, and it's been 40 years since the team last hired a coach who couldn't speak French. "I'm sorry if we upset people because that certainly wasn't our intention," Gauthier said Monday.
