--- Quote from: alta on Thursday September 20, 2018, 06:07:47 PM Eastern ---so here is the 3rd non chat thread this season. I anticipate seeing all the youngsters again tonight,
as such I have no idea what the lines will be.
On a side note, there is no way in hell Quebec gets another team unless the local press wants to speak
english. That was one of the sticking points on why the Nordiques left, they refused to speak English when interviewing the players.
--- End quote ---
I'm not sure if the media refused to speak English or not. A high percentage of people in Quebec City speak only French. It must have been difficult for Europeans and even Canadians from the west to play there. I do remember Joe Sakic doing an interview in French.
I know I'm a fan of an American team but it would be nice to see more Canadian teams. Unfortunately Canada doesnt have big enough markets to support as many teams as the US. Some of the guys here complain about the game getting soft and we are losing heart and soul type of players in favor of more high skilled players that like their toe drags. This is what we call Americanizing the game. The game was fine until the push to sell hockey to the southern states.
