Oilers are going to win the Stanley Cup and theres nothing you can do about It

[Nonskimmer]

That's logical, the Edmonton Oilers have more players from Québec than the Montréal Habs ! We were one of the greatest "powers" in hockey, back in the day.

Maurice Richard, Jacques Plante, Guy Lafleur, Jacques Laperriére, just to name a few. But also "English" guys like Ken Dryden, Larry Robinson, Steve Shutt, and Joe Malone.

Ah, OK. I wasn't familiar with existence of this city...

I think the Canadiens of the Late 1950s was probably the greatest NHL team put together....

I'm glad the Ducks lost last night - I hate the fans....

AS much as it pains me to say it, I have to agree....

I think they spotted where the money is...

What hell are you talking about!!!!!???? We have 5 players from Quebec, Mathieu Roy, Georges Laraque, Marc Andre Bergeron, Jean-Francois Jacques and Jeff Deslauriers, also have one Russian, one Czeck and one Sweed, the rest are anglos

 

[Maestro]

That's still more Québekers than the Habs...

1 - Mathieu Dandenault
2 - Mike Ribeiro
3 - Craig Rivet

Others are either Europeans or English-Canadiens.

 

[102first_hussars]

Wrong, if you look at the rosters, you have more than that, and you guys have a BU Goalie who came straight from France,
