      Settle down there chief. Good compilation of information, but “one of the best hockey videos”? Not a snowballs chance in hell. Tons of bad edits. He showed the same Berard goal with the Islanders at least twice, once while talking about his time with another team. He talked about Chris Phillips and Chara becoming the best shutdown pair while showing footage of several net mouth scrambles with Ottawa forward Marian Hossa in the OFFENSIVE ZONE.

    Man I swear the 90s were the best decade for hockey. The sport boomed. Anyone that was a teen and got a copy of Eastbay could flip through and see all of the jerseys. Not just the NHL, but all the minors as well. You get multiple expansions. My hometown Red Wings become a dynasty, but not before getting buzzsawed by an expansion San Jose team. The 95 finals against New Jersey and we got whooped. You get the growth in video games like the NHL series from EA. Same thing with cards. So many hockey cards. My favorite being the Score Pinnacle goalie mask set. So many Hall of Famers, superstars, busts, etc. Then you have the explosion in jersey sales. When you started seeing hip hop stars wearing hockey jerseys on MTV, you had to have one like you had to have a Starter pullover.

Avs got enough Offensive talent in their team with Sakic and Forsberg. Also the favor the bruins did to Ray Bourque. Help too. It's not fun for the Québec Nordiques fans altrought. they lost their NHL teams even if the support a mediocre team for years but when they sold their team anyway for 75 M$ USD to Comcast in Colorado.
      A new team in Québec city is now around 1 000 M$ USD. They should have keep it when they have it but Marcel Aubut decide to sell it instead late the first salary cap happened. liminiting the expense of club which we had help to Québec Nordiques to survive.
      IMHO , The only chance the Québec Nordiques has to go back in the NHL is to do the same thing they did to get a team in the NHL. i.e. Start a new league outside the NHL grow the league let the NHL Buy the league and gets the team in the league to join the NHL.

Did you watch the NHL then or do you go by stats ? On the ICE everybody will tell you : BERTUZZI > Arnott >> Koivu. Sadly. But Koivu in potential was amazing. Like Kariya.

      I'm a Red Wings fan... and LECAVALIER is bigger than Datsyuk dude... WTF... Datsyuk ain't Yzerman or Fedorov.
      Red Wings through and through from 1993 to now they are my heart and soul. I lived the stanley cups. Lecavalier trumps Pavel Datsyuk. He had his fall ... but health was also a problem at times. He had Martin St-Louis? Datsyuk had Lidstrom and his great teamates alongside him... don't let stats tell a story that the game tells differently. Datsyuk is amazing but a lil tad behind Vincent. My pet peeve point = Lecavalier broke the 100 points mark.

      @@WithScienceAsMySheperd -Vincent Lecavalier was the big shot in the early years, but in the very long run Pavel Datsyuk would prove he was overall a more gifted tallent and a fine leader as well on the ice.

      Datsyuk was literally a gem among rocks when discovered and due to how he was often disregarded by higher-ups, it pushed him to become better and more determed.
      In short term Cavalier was better, but in the long run and much more overall Datsyuk was just much deeper and a much better player to build a team with.

    I heard that the real truth Lindros refused to sign with Quebec, was because at the time, the owner had made advances towards Eric's mother.

    The thing with Daigle is that he went first overall. In the second round, he's a good player. Even mid to late first first round, he's decent. However, he was strapped with the expectations of a first overall pick, and he ultimately failed to live up to them. That's why he's labeled a bust.

    At his best, Eric Lindros had something I've only seen from Gretzky and Lemieux (I feel like Orr was the same, but I'm too young to have seen him): the ability to score seemingly at will. If he wanted the puck in the net, it was there.
    His concussions and post-concussion syndrome related injuries stole what could easily have been a top-5 NHL career. And he STILL was a great player. But man... what he could have been.

    Man, Alexander Daigle..... what coulda been for Ottawa. Think about the fact that once they got Alfredsson, who was an afterthought late late draft pick in 94, Ottawa made the playoffs 12 YEARS IN A ROW.... and 14 of 16 total with Alfie after his Calder season. 12 in a row, if only they'd somehow known what they coulda had with some of the other highly drafted players. They're 1 of those franchises that it's really sad they haven't won a cup, a lot of bad luck honestly.
    And with Berard, I believe Redden was more what they needed. Look at his career plus minus, he lead the league one year even! Sadly Berard's career wasn't long for the world. Redden retired really young too honestly, but he gave Ottawa over a decade of 1st line defenseman play and they made the playoffs EVERY SINGLE YEAR they had Wade.
