Oh Canada

Calgary Flames co-owner Clay Riddell passes away at 81 years of age.

 

Darnell Nurse signs a two year contract for the oilers today.

 

Karlsson spent too much time in Ottawa. He sounds like a hoser more than a Swede.

 

question bc i don't know the answer - if Quebec a new team or if a current team moved there, do they have a new arena or would the team play in the arena the old Nordiques did ? thx.

Which way to the ikea eh?

 

They purposely made the Quebec arena steep to make it more intimate. In the US they want space, in Canada it's about keeping your butt in the seat and having the best view possible. It's so steep at the upper bowl that local laws said they had to install rails in every row.

 

it's looks like a toilet bowl from the outside. so who plays there now...junior league clubs i assume?

 

QMJHL's Quebec Ramparts... in the 7th largest arena in Canada.

 

thanks. im sure due to the compact size, it's rocking on the inside and loud and rowdy as hell.

 

Quebec city is a place everyone should visit once in their lifetime.

 

Looks like Elias Pettersson is already being considered a calder candidate for the nucks.

 

great architecture! i love the 2 tall buildings in the back. those steps look steep.

 

I went there on a school trip when I was 11, then a family trip. Lots of culture, joke shops, 15th century architecture, art and history. It's the closest thing to europe in north america.
There's small parts of st.louis and more so new orleans that resembles this because they were all part of new france, but not like quebec city.
