Yeah, but we didn't "steal" their team, we stole the crap-ass Hartford Whalers, who aside from a couple isolated good years, continued to be pretty much crap-ass and second-rate on a consistent basis until just recently.

Up until that last season the Nordiques were just as crap ass as the Whalers. No small feat as the Whalers were quite crap ass.

Yep. In fact the Nords were the frigin Oilers before the Oilers. HF would be having an absolute field day with them if it was around back then.

I know that, I'm just saying, there's no direct line that justifies the spitefulness. To tweak an analogy I already used once again, if somebody comes along and steals your car, does that mean you have the right to go steal somebody else's car?

There's no way the Canadiens trade Roy to their provincial rival: and there's no way the Avs win their first Cup without Roy.

But in your analogy wouldn't the Hurricanes already have stolen someone else's car?

Yeah, and if Hartford fan wants to be spiteful, I'd say they're entitled to it. That has nothing to do with Quebec though, other than the usual "Hockey doesn't belong in the souf" BS nonsense that we have to listen to all the time from the supposedly more "enlightened" folks here.
