That could be a response to the pain of the team moving and an attempt to join a team that won't move, though.
The Nordiques were a weird set of circumstances. They leave for Denver, Montreal gets waxed by Detroit (in a Friday night game I remember watching, and laughing at, and subsequently regretting) and trade an angry Patrick Roy to Denver. Then Denver meets and curb stomps Detroit in the conference finals and goes on to win the Stanley Cup. I was a Wings fan then and 21 years later I'm still shaking my head over that one.
Sorry, back to football.
