Plus, isn't Quebec an unique situation, what with the seperatist movement and all? I mean, I can definately understand how they'd love to win with Quebec boys. You see the same thing with Chivas in Mexico, who for a long time only used Mexican players, and more recently (and closely related) with the University of Minnesota hockey team-it was almost sacriledge when Grant Potulny came to the team from...North Dakota! But, then he scored a few key goals and all was forgiven. Minnesota fans take a lot of pride in the fact that its OUR boys beating everyone else, and I could understand how it'd be the same in Quebec. I mean, I love it every time the Wild get ahold of a Mark Parrish (Even if he did play at St. Cloud, that rat bastard) or a Darby Hendrickson. I mean, if John Pohl got traded to the Wild, he'd be the most famous 3/4th line player in all of the NHL thanks to his High School and College exploits.
