Return of the Quebec Nordiques: A Serious Slap in the Face to Fans and Gary Bettman Remains Blind to Arizona
In Quebec City, there's an arena, a solid fan base, and equally solid investors. The city would be ready to welcome an NHL team tomorrow morning, but Gary Bettman continues to insist on Arizona.
The commissioner has once again chosen to turn a blind eye, claiming that Arizona is a good hockey market.
Hello? Will someone ever manage to make him see reason? NHL hockey has never worked there in nearly 30 years. Every season has been a financial loss. What more does it take?
We've all heard his talk about population base and potential fans, but what's the point of establishing a team where there are many residents who don't care about hockey?
In Quebec, people are passionate about hockey. In Arizona, I'd be curious to know the percentage of people who have ever held a hockey stick in their hands.
Regardless, it's now confirmed that the Coyotes will stay in Arizona for at least another year.
It's starting to become a real farce. It seems like it's his project, not a project for the good of the NHL.
