I’d be curious to know if it’s happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m going to go look at those situations. That article has some fact issues, they have Eric Lindros’s pick as having been traded when it was not, he was drafted #1, refused to sign, and then was traded. Not the same. EDIT: Looking at those, I wouldn’t count Lecavalier, that was trading what would eventually be the #1, not the actual #1.

Habs fans are in fact dumber cause in Quebec there's a very different culture than anywhere else. Part of it is making them very entitled and thinking the whole world revolves around them. Plus they are the only french province in the NHL where the media can really brainwash the unilingual fans. Not like they can listen to any other sources and verify what's been said lol There's legit fans in Quebec who think Maurice Richard was better than like Wayne Gretzky lol Cause he's THE hero in Quebec and that's all they see. Edited May 9, 2019 by SterioDesign Quote Link to post Share on other sites
