According to a Quebec newspaper, 15 buses will be sent on December 11th when the Islanders take on the Thrashers filled with Nordiques fans to attend the game and protest hockey on the Island. I read this on another board and I'm looking for a link.

If this goes down, get your tinfoil for your knuckles ready, lets show them some old time hockey, Long Island style.

Here's their sale pitch (paraphrasing, since there are expressions that cannot be translated): http://tricolore.ca/chfans/showthread.php?t=50402

"Nordiques Nation is going on the road on December 11th to watch a game between the Thrashers and the Islanders (two teams that could be moved) in an empty arena. We'll be able to sit all together at ice-level, since their fans are nowhere to be found. Dressed in blue, you'll be seen and heard by the entire league. Be a part of this historic moment" bla bla bla


Sorry I just copy and pasted that whole thing from an IM post.

But this really pisses me off...I'm getting as many friends together as I can and sitting in Loudville...Lets see what 10-15 15-16 year old can do lol

Who can blame them? Didn't the owner say he regretted buying the Islanders? And hasn't El Cheapo driven this team into the ground with the likes of Freddy Meyer, Bruno Gervais, Nate Thompson, Jon Sim, and every aging veteran who has run out of other options, etc.

The fans here deserve a team. It's the owner who doesn't deserve to run a team.

heres a thought.. dont sell group tix before single seats tickets go on sale.. let us buy the damn seats first before you go giving an unwanted group 500 seats to a game they have no business attending.. if they were smart, theyd send the busses to atlanta, where they have 1 playoff appearance ever and cant do jack right..

True but would you prefer a 9 hour bus ride to LI or a 19+ to Atlanta?

AS FANS I THINK WE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT
THAN IF A FEW HUNDRED QUEBEC FANS WANTING TO SPEND $100+
AND THINKING THAT THEY'LL GET NOTICED DURING AN ISLES/THRASHERS GAME

THEY'D PROBABLY GET MORE ATTENTION IF THEY HELD A MARCH
AND SIT DOWN DEMONSTATION AT ROOSEVELT FIELD

BUT I'M SURE THE THOUGHT OF SOME WANTING TO BRAWL
WILL KEEP THEM SAFELY NORTH OF THE BORDER

FWIW, I'm a big fan of bringing the Nords back. But Nords fans would be making a terrible mistake if they tried a stunt like this. No one who loved a team that moved (and I was a NY-based Expos fan, for the record) should be rooting for another team to move. Bad karma.

Dr G?
so "frenchie" is a no-no?

:blink:

:rofl: :thumbsup:

ok, look...discrimination in ANY form is a no-no, but when people trash talk, as it is here...
anything goes unfortunately.


Let's be respectful now.

I already made a sign that says "YOU HAVE NO TEAM" and the "N" is the Nordiques symbol. If it is confirmed that its going down closer to the date, I'm Customizing an Avalanche t-shirt that says NO TEAM as the name and 95 as the number.

I hate everybody equally, and hope we can all get to that harmonious balance and strive towards a better world. :isles:
"clearly it's Rick DiPietro's stupidity that's put the islanders in this situation getting into an altercation when a game was over..." Keith Jones on VS

"But the Coliseum became a repository for all the team's troubles, a convenient scapegoat. There were suggestions that no major free agent ever would set foot in such a decrepit place. We have two words for anyone making that argument: Fenway Park. History says free agents would play in an old boxcar if they got enough money and had a chance to win." - Mark Herrmann

For the record I am NOT kidding. What right does anybody have to use our team's turmoil as a spring board to acquire them? If it is true I stand by what I said 100 percent. Stay the hell away and go find your own team. And if they decide to show up and try this liberal based stupidity I will be there to send them back with their tails between their legs.
And I won't be alone.
Remember this- it is THEM that have started this, not us. And I can't accept it while we sit around on our hands.
Screw 'em, stay the hell out of LI.
We may suck and be the laughing stock of the league. But they're MY Islanders and YOUR Islanders and no one has the right to walk into our barn and try to make fools of us.

Listen, I have the same feelings as you, I'll just curb what I post on here. I am going to be doing whatever it takes to get them out and help out my fellow Isles countrymen. If that means brawling, then it means brawling. I already have 5 friends of mine planning to go, and my friend has posted the info on Facebook, so us teens are doing everything we can to get as many people to that game as possible. I have a couple Rag fans going to support us. Its going to be interesting.
