News Article: Can anyone from the Quebec City area explain this to me?

[QuebecPride]

I think it goes beyond just the Hockey rivalry. People from Québec City have an inferiority complex with Montrealers. First, because Montrealers treat them like small town folks. Second, because most Quebec City citizens have a small town mentality. Third, because they always believe that Quebec City never got the attention it deserve, specialy in front of Montreal.

Also, I think people in Quebec City knows that they will not get a team soon and they don't want Garry Bettman to play with them. "You will not get the candy, but here, get some sugar". It's easy to see.

It's a two-way street Max. Québec is the smaller dog, so it's only normal it barks louder. The Montrealers are not indifferent to what happens to la Vieille Capitale. Any chance they get, they will laugh at Labeaume and his grandeur plans or at everything else that brews the rivalry between the two biggest cities in the province.

It's really entertaining to watch from the outside, let me tell you. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Quebec City doesn't deserve a hockey team.

Quebec City doesn't deserve a hockey team.

How so?

Once a loser, you always remain a loser. Quebec City, you mad?

Are you people insane? You WANT another Canadian NHL franchise. Especially French Canadian. Why? It will make oodles of money for the province, and if one/or the other doesn't make it to the playoffs? We still have a Canadian, as well as French Canadian, team to cheer!

Also, the Nordiques have claim to one of the greatest hockey talents that has ever skated. Peter Stastny is my all time favorite player. How he did this on that team is the stuff of legend.

NHL milestones and records[edit]

They won't even get a team for at least another three years. Jeez. Seattle will probably get a team before them.

 

[Burke the Legend]

I really want QC to have a team but man I hate Quebec. I studied there for four long years and most of them really have an inferiority complex toward Montreal. While people in Montreal doesn't give a crap about Quebec, people in Quebec really thinks there is a rivalry with Montreal about everything. They really despise Montreal. They're like the little shih tzu barking at a grown man.

Don't worry they have figured out a way to vanquish big bad Montreal and assert their superiority. They will erect a massive phallus:

[OnTheRun]

How so?

Does it matter?

You don't get a NHL franchise through merit.


Money, lot of it and golfing with the board of Governors will get you what you want.

 

[GordonGraham]

Its the circle of life

People in chicoutimi/rimouski hate quebec city cause they are the big dog in the LHJMQ, people in Quebec city hate people in Montreal cause they are a big deal in the media, people in Montreal hate toronto cause TSN/SPORTSNET are always talking about the leafs.....

I didn't know that Quebec City was in Martinique

 

[Michelangelo]

How so?

They had a hockey team and they lost it.

I'd go to Seattle and Las Vegas first.

 

[Jeffrey]

They had a hockey team and they lost it.

I'd go to Seattle and Las Vegas first.

Many Other Cities had team before and and they are now very successful franchise. (Minnesota, Colorado, Winnipeg) They deserve a NHL franchise more than any other city. They have everythig required as in market, arena, tv deal.

They should be back in the NHL no doubt.

Geography major I'm guessing

Kinda like Montreal doesn't realize that Toronto doesn't give a **** about them.

 

[MaxLacoste]

Quebec City deserve a NHL team IMO. They have a good fanbase. I just don't like how they build the arena, one of the most expensive, in one of the smallest market. Way before having a team. With enormous gouvernment funding.

 

[OpenIceHit]

Kinda like Montreal doesn't realize that Toronto doesn't give a **** about them.

Maybe for some, yes. But I don't despise the city of Toronto. I think the city is an example to follow. I like how most of things work over there. I like the dynamic they are having at the moment. So yes, Toronto and New York don't give a crap about Montreal as much as Toronto, New York and Montreal don't give a crap about Quebec City.

 

[Kimota]

I'm a Hab through and through. But I don't think they should play there before the Nords.
