The Nordiques are never coming back.

How much do you want to bet?

Honestly, with PKP has making the jump into politics, it means that the Nordiques ain't close to coming back to Quebe city.  Also, with the departure of Quebecor's #2, PKP's semi-replacement, it means the 2 architects of the Nordiques come back have left ship.

We have to remember that with the deal the signed with Quebec city, Quebecor won't assume the majority of losses for operating the arena without a hockey team.  Basically, all operating losses up to 3M$/year (the cost of the rent if there is no team) will be expunged by the city.  It means they have the arena for free, so there's no rush for them, with PKP not there.

Goodbye Montreal!!!!

[Grey Fox]

I know that, but I still ain't betraying my heart.

I always liked the Nordiques, or at least I did for the short amount of time they were around after I started following hockey.

See GF?  What we have here is a true admirer of hockey. 

I have no memories of the Nords. What can I say, I'm not ancient.

LA better not let this happen.

Lundqsucks is already too successful, a stanley cup would be too much.

You're from the Montreal area, so I can sorta forgive you for cheering the Habs.  When it comes to people from Quebec city who used to be Nords fans though, they shall burn in hell.

Just like you, Bruins fan.

Zuccarello. 

First Norwegian to play a Stanley Cup final.

[Admiral Yi]

Gotta be the first Norwegian to be named  Zuccarello too.

They also got Italian immigrants.

His dad made a mean pasta.


Edit: His name is really Mats Zuccarello Aasen. He does have some Italian genes in him, but grew up in Oslo, and played in Sweden before moving to the NHL. Aside from Espen Knutsen, he's probably the best hockey player we've ever had. He was sorely missed in the World Cup.

The world cup.

It's important to people who don't have the NHL.
