I am more interested on the jersey selection tonight is going to be...

 

[Wintersun]

Can't wait. I'll be there

I'll see Tangs for the first time, and he's my idol since 2001. God, I'm very happy right now.

That's awesome!!

 

[Former Ladder]

Wish I could have watched the one last night. I doubt it is archived online anywhere.....is it?

I gotsta find me a stream for tonight's game! I am hoping Everberg finds his way onto the lineup for this game. I'd like to see him play. I think Roy said the Euros would play in both games.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Lebrun has an article up about Parenteau/Roy.
I love how all the articles talk about how happy PA is to be traded and that it's a childhood dream playing for the Habs and there is nowhere else he'd rather play.

If that were true maybe he would have signed there as a UFA rather than in Colorado who offered nothing more than a fair contract.

Maybe Montreal simply wasn't interested in him at that point?

 

[johockey]

Anyone know the lineup for tonight? Is Mack playing tonight?

IIRC it was pretty well reported that Montreal had an offer on the table.

You're probably right. I was just speculating as I have no doubt PAP was a Canadiens fan growing up.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

As Hench said, there were rumors saying they were very interested. People were surprised at how quickly a deal got done with Colorado and how friendly the deal was since Montreal seemed to be hard after him.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

PAP had a much better situation on Duchy's wing. But Roy changed that when he came in and brought Tanguay here, then Iginla.

So the series of events make sense despite the surrounding background.

If the Avs were smart, they'd take the ice tonight in Nordiques jerseys. Imagine Quebec reacting to that.

 

[FoppaForsberg*]

Parenteau thinks he would've beat out ROR, Landeskog, Duchene, MacKinnon, Iggy or Tanguay as a top 6? That's funny.

 

[Balthazar]

The guys are walking around next to where I work and it's my day off.

That would be a great idea if we weren't in the middle of trying to get a team.

I'm going to a bar to watch the game tonight and I'll be rockng my Nords sweater just in case.

As an Habs fan, I can tell you there's ALWAYS a rumor of someone signing with Montreal and you'll never know if a player is interested or the team is until there's an actual signing. We're like the go-to place for rumors. It's pretty annoying as a fan. Want my opinion about PAP signing in Colorado? IF PAP and MTL were interested, my guess is Montréal were not too stoked about either the term or money per year. Now the PAP trade is whole other thing, since we did trade a salary in return.

I can't be the only one that thinks doing this unannounced is just asking for trouble?

It's the Colorado Avalanche, not the Quebec Nordiques. Now... if they advertised it as something like Heritage Night and said the Avs would be paying homage to their franchise origin by wearing Nordiques jerseys with Avalanche crested shoulders, that would be cool.

Do they have special sweaters for the game tonight?

 

[Slashers98]

I'm going to the game, rocking my vintage Joe Sakic jersey!

 

[JLo217]

I gotsta find one too! Any possibility of seeing the game? Was the previous game streamed?

Yeah there was. PM me at game time and i'll send one to anyone who messages me.

 

[The Shermanator]

Are we the home team tonight?

 

[cgf]

Parenteau thinks he would've beat out ROR, Landeskog, Duchene, MacKinnon, Iggy or Tanguay as a top 6? That's funny.

Or he just figures that the Avs will need someone to step in when Tanguay gets hurt for the season in the first month.

 

[Balthazar]

Are we the home team tonight?

Yes. They are going to wear their regular home jersey IMO. I've no idea why there's a 30 min pregame ceremony though. What are they going to celebrate? They did one with Sakic, Forsberg and Foote in 2002 which was understandable but there's not much left to say
