QUEBEC – The frenzy of meetings Montreal-Quebec relive the moment of a weekend series while a round trip between the old Canadiens and Nordiques will be presented March 13 at the Pepsi Coliseum and the next at the Bell Centre.
The fans will then resume with the legends of yesterday, while they will remember the precious memories.
“We wanted to win, the families wanted to win, everybody talked,” recalls Michel Goulet. “These are the most beautiful moments of my career. » “
“It was a lot of impact both media than among supporters,” said Guy Lafleur. “But all the pressure was on our shoulders, he had to win!”
Like the legendary intensity of these games, as the former Nordiques that ex-Canadians hope to remove the honors of this short series.
“Even though we are older and slower, we still have the will to win these games,” says Dave Pichette. “We will make the necessary efforts.”
Two games in less than 24 hours will be very demanding physically. While the Nordics are struggling to renew their membership due to the departure of the team in 1995, the Canadiens can count on the arrival of Guy Carbonneau and Patrice Brisebois.
“I keep the form,” says Brisebois. “It will be great fun to be part of this event then.”
“The problem is that we do not have much relief,” said Goulet. “It would take us Joe Sakic, it would help us enormously.”
Can not speak of such a confrontation without stressing the likely return of a team in the capital. Legend even believe that a team of Canadian Quebec would better training.
Tickets for both events will go on sale this Saturday, December 19. A year ago, these same two teams battled here at Pepsi Coliseum before more than 14,000 spectators supercharged, evidence that interest in this rivalry is not about to fade.
