Having watched the eastern-based Jets I'm no expert on either, but yes, I  pondered that one for a bit.  It wouldn't shock me if Phoenix won that series.

Nah, they can't win.  Most of the players are taking French lessons* right now, so they're distracted from their game.



*It's a rumor started by a Quebecor journalist wich has now reached Europe ("Le Matin", swiss newspaper) :roll:

But then you speak as if Vancouver of all places is better.  Weird.

You are clearly insane.  I put it down to living in Edmonton.  The effects on Neil are apparent.  It is just surprising it has taken so little time to impact you.

That was one of the most ridiculous rumours to come out of this whole saga.

Putting aside how unlikely it would be (the only thing they're telling players is "focus on the playoffs"), how on earth would q Quebec reported have some inside scoop on what is happening in Phoenix?

How would Shane Doan be received in Quebec City?

[Barrister]

How would Shane Doan be received in Quebec City?

He's be a Nordique - they'd love him.

Doan got a rough ride from some Winnipeg fans who saw him as a traitor, but come on - the guy played one season in Winnipeg, and has spent the rest of his career in Phoenix.  He never said anything negative about the Peg - just constantly referenced how he hoped the team would stay put in Phoenix.

[Neil]

No, they'd hate him.  All Quebec nationalists believe that Doan hates francophones.

[Grey Fox]

He does. Especially does that are trully, trully atrocious referees & linesman.

How would Shane Doan be received in Quebec City?

By some? Pretty badly.  By most? Like everywhere else, good if he plays well, bad if he doesn't score.

Yeah, the people of Vancouver hate Canada.  They don't even make the trumpet sounds in the right places in the anthem.

Also, the Canucks are cheating again.

@ your envy and spite.

Spite I can see, but envy?

Do you think I didn't hate the Canucks during all their years of futility?

I don't understand how one could possibly be envious of the 'Nucks.  After all in 40+ years they've never won a championship.

[Valmy]

LOL at the Pens' Caps impression.

LOL at the Pens' Caps impression.

grrr...  3-0 in 2nd, and it ends 4-3 in OT.  fuck.

You're clearly envious of the stellar performance against the Kings tonight
