Then the Avalanche win it the very next year, just a total gut punch all around.

In the first year in Colorado they won the Stanley cup. It’s like been many years with a girl and both of you want a baby. But she decide to break apart and in the first year with her new boyfriend she get pregnant. It’s hard.
Fun fact about this: If Québec built a so competitive team it’s because Eric Lindros refused to play in Québec city. (Trade tree here : [https://youtu.be/mM7D2WTX2QA](https://youtu.be/mM7D2WTX2QA) )

As a Colorado native thank you, I hope you don’t hate us.

Can it get worse for a franchise? Their arch- enemy wins the Cup in 1993 (the Habs) and then after they leave Quebec they win the Cup. Wow.
I LOVED the Nordiques actually. My second favorite team back in the day. Cuz they were fast…..and always beat the shit out of the Habs with their bare knuckles. I’d be watching the Leaf game and then switch the channel and there was a bench clearing brawl with the Nordiques beating up those Habitants!

Sucks that the Nords are no longer… look at how much money they wasted on the Coyotes… and they didn’t give to Quebec. Bettman needs to go. This coming fron a Canuck fan on the west coast.

And the Quebec junior team just played in front of 18 000 people in the Videotron Center for the final. What a waste.

One of best uniforms ever.

Even worse is that the Colorado Avalanche (Quebec Nordique) ends up winning the cup the next season.

The Colorado team has been around longer than the Quebec City team has existed.

RIP Saturn, one of the better cars I’ve ever owned.

If Canada got a team in the cup and won, Quebec would have had another team by now.

Then won 3 Stanley Cups as the Colorado Avalanche.
Couldn’t even get 250 people to show up to their « save the team » rally, and people think that Quebec deserves another team
Gone, but not forgotten. I’m an Avs fan and wear my Nordiques cap on a near daily basis.
Your 1996 Stanley Cup Champions.
I feel a new Quebec team has to happen sooner or later. I understand the complications but it just feels wrong for them not having a team.
If Tempe AZ votes against the new arena – Yotes just need to pack it up and relocate to QC.
Best uni’s ever.
Arizona has a team and they’re playing in a stadium with a capacity of 4500 that sits half empty
RIP Saturn cars as well
Unfortunately, we missed out on their rebrand with perhaps what would have been the best team logo of the 90’s.
