Having the Nordiques back would be awesome. Having the NHL back would be awesome.

They might have an arena built by the time the season starts.

yesterday Charest said Quebec wont get an nhl team if the PQ gets elected ... the booing makes me think a few people believe him ... only in canada is hockey a political hot potato

Sad how true this statement could be.

 

[Slimpikins]

Bring back the Nordiques!

Montreal needs a French Canadian rival.

bettman crying poverty, and someone is able to fund $170 million for the one team that everybody knows is losing money hand over fist.

i can't comprehend how they think phoenix will survive...as much as i dislike the canadian teams, i would much rather have the franchise move somewhere that they are actually appreciated.

Start charging Canucks (or Flames) ticket prices for regular season games and let's see how many Coyotes fans show up (because that ultimately is the true test).

Gee I wonder who the "unnamed source" is that started this rumor?

It's a political hot potato in the states when a goalie from the Stanley Cup champions decides not to go to the White House to be blessed by the President. But down here people will find a reason to bitch about anything that goes against anything they don't agree with.

BTW, I would love to see a team back in Quebec !
