We can say anything about the fact that the Kings benefited from unprecedented monetary generosity from the Quebec government, but this two-game stay by the California team was a great success.
The players had fun, the fans had the opportunity to watch good hockey, but above all, Quebec City continued to be talked about.
We know that Quebec risks not being part of the next expansions in the NHL (#Houston #Atlanta), but we should not necessarily abandon the project.
Before the Canadiens-Senators match, Renaud Lavoie made some interesting comments.
In the eyes of the future owners, the fact that the Kings’ visit to the national capital has been a success has not gone unnoticed and according to Lavoie, they say to themselves: “we know it will work.”
For the NHL, too, it is music to the ears, because it will perhaps soon be less reluctant to the idea of bringing back the Nordiques.
Moreover, during an interview between Michael Andlauer and Renaud Lavoie on TVA Sports, the owner of the Sens admitted that he would like to see the Nordiques in the NHL one day. Obviously, like Geoff Molson, he doesn’t have much choice in saying that, but hey…
I’ll take his words as cash for now…
But as for the Nordiques, the Kings’ stay turned a lot of heads.
It is by planting small seeds that eventually you end up with a forest. – Renaud Lavoie
Until the club is back in the Bettman circuit, it will not stop making headlines… Hockey fans there will certainly take the small victories here and there.
In burst
– Johnathan Kovechkin.
– A fourth point in less than two games for Filip Mesar.
– The former Alouettes stood out.
