hmm, pretty sure the Nordiques were one of the original WHA teams...

Initially was the Sharks franchise then sold to Quebec before they played a game. Google is your friend..

On November 1, 1971, twelve teams were formally announced. They included cities without NHL teams such as the Miami Screaming Eagles, as well as teams in cities where the league's promoters believed there was room for more than one team, such as the Los Angeles Aces, Chicago Cougars, and New York Raiders. Two of the original twelve teams moved before the first season started: the Dayton Arrows became the Houston Aeros and the San Francisco Sharks became the Quebec Nordiques. The Los Angeles franchise then took the nickname Sharks to replace Aces. The Calgary Broncos and the Screaming Eagles folded outright, replaced by the Philadelphia Blazers and the Cleveland Crusaders.

Is Primeau's season the worst of any Hab's goalie ever?

I'd have to compare his stats with Red Light Racicot.

bah, he's played 11 games with a team in front of him that was also struggling for most of them, it isn't significant enough to be worthy of such a title imho.

- Garfield512

Racicot, despite the nickname, wasn't that bad of a goaltender.

At least not "worst in the league" bad like Primeau has been this year.

And the North Stars moved to Dallas after a while

I wonder what teams will be in the next expansion. I would guess Houston and then maybe Atlanta. Would really like a team coming back in Quebec city, but I dont know that we will ever get it back.

When the Sharks entered the league. The North Stars and Sharks were "split" and has a draft. So the Sharks are the spiritual successors of the Seals

I'd have to compare his stats with Red Light Racicot.

his worst season was in 93-94 https://www.nhl.com/player/andre-racicot-8450657

2 wins in 9 starts, 4.44 GAA and .850 save percentage

Montreal's run of having the best back up in the league™️ had to end eventually

I know ... I just find the "Red Light" nickname for a goalie to be hilarious.

Middle of the pack stats for a goalie in that era

Yeah ... I wish we had kept Allen and shipped out Primeau.

Yeah, I never understood Management's insistence with trying to make Primeau a thing

Meh, that way Dobes can get a go at it. Makes sense in a rebuild to try things and give the kids a chance

His stats in the NCAA were pretty good

like Jacob Fowler good

Hindsight is 20/20 ... too late now to complain anyway.
Let's see what Dobes can do ... I've watched him a few times on TV and I like his size and play.

He lacks good NHL fundamentals

Gotta go ... another party tonight.

Be nice boys and girls!

- mr.peanut

He missed a lot of times with Covid ,injuries and call ups. That might not have help

I dont think it would be that hard to get a vet back up like Allen out there on the market. What you dont want to do is losing a good young player for nothing. Even more so in a rebuild. They just wanted to be sure of what they had with him before moving on. They gave Barron a lot of chances for the same reason.

Gotta go ... another party tonight.

you be good.
