Funny you brought it up.... the organizers are looking to repeat but it has to have an impact like it did saturday night. When or where they don't know. I suspect Boston even though we may not be able to get more than 400-500 tickets! Didn't thought about New jersey...could be an option but like one of guys said... nothing much to see or do pre and post game.

By the way, it's was very easy for us to say the rigth things after the game because we all meant it!

If we repeat this year I'll be there for sure (depending on the location of cours / not going to Anaheim or dallas ) But I'd be willing to wait 'til next year and go back to your place to cheer for the Isles once again... AGAINST THE HABS ! As you probably know, real Nordiques fans HATE Mtl Canadians and it would be awsome to cheer against them just for the fun of it, for old time's sake!

Your team isn't going anywhere in 2015 but never take it for granted like we did in 1995.

I'm kinda wishin' to get an expansion team, ya know, start from bottom and and try to build a stanley cup team!

Cause even though I really want my Nords back... it kinda feels wrong gunning for the Atlanta Trashers.

Anyways...

PLEASE do come back for a habs Isle game..atleast than we might have some fans to compete with the habs fans....and your vocal too..us Isle fans are rather dull..chalk it up to either the depressive state of the franchise, or more old folks on the Island..

Anyone who values their money has kept it in their pockets now for the Isles.

:nono: The Devils' arena is very close to Manhattan. I know the area very well. Just three blocks to Newark Penn Station and the "PATH" train to Manhattan: A 20-minute train trip to the heart of NYC. And the train runs all day and night, even 12am to 6am. Plenty of empty seats in New Jersey, too.

G-d, we could use the help against the Habs fans. I would drive up from Virginia to join you guys in taking back the arena from les montrealais.

Oz, who could blame them. Two teams with terrible attendance, they need a team, any team. Wouldn't you be part of it if you were a Quebec native too, motive or not? My hat is off to them for the effort.

If it's about showing Quebec nation really exists and they start to show up at other team's games, more power to them. On the flip side, for me personally, I would never support any type of action that would contribute to taking away a team from another city.

Yeah well, I'm with you on that one... that's why I'd never go to Atl or Florida or Nashville! Even if those city would be couple hours away! Some people started to suggest future dates ... and one that comes back a lot is April 2nd Canadiens vs Devils ... I guess we'll see!

But one things is for sure, Next year at Nassau vs the Canadiens, would be awesome!
Man I just hate those f*******!


One of the best sports moment I experienced (not kiddin) the energy was incredible!
The goal with 1 minute left...

I find it interesting that the Nordiques Nation invasion of the Coliseum in December got so much media attention, but when they invade Times Square and the Prudential Center? I guess it's not much of a story...

I was in nyc this past weekend and drove thru times square. Nords fans were everywhere. Large pockets of fans with their jerseys on chanting and clapping as they walked the streets. Couldn't tell what the frogs were chanting...and didn't care. I was :headbanging: against the steering wheel sitting in gridlock.
