You all know how I love Francis Bouillon (not in the Biliblical sense*).  The little Cube is an amazing little fireplug!  He is our second-best hitter (after Komisarek, but not by much) and our best player pound-for pound.  Yes, his mistake of shooting the puck over the boards nearly cost us the game (but it was the right play to make - a physical mistake, not a mental one - he simply shot too high; and it wouldn't have been as bad had another player (Kovalev?) not already have been in the box.)  But when he grabs the puck (which he sometimes does from amazing scrums - does he sneak out from under their legs?), you generally know he will clear the zone.  He is clearly my favourite player at the moment.

But I'm wondering about his ethnic background.  He has a French-sounding name, speaks French with that Quebecois patois, yet he was born in New York, and visually looks African American.  Anybody know the story there?
