Where was the rest of the Canadian companies at that time? Why single out the French ones? The Anglos had no balls either, it took an American to buy us. You have to remember what the exchange rate was back then. Also it seems that Quebecor have enough balls to build an arena in Quebec and make a pitch for the Nordiques.Those examples are so rare though...
Another good example would be why we haven't have a French owner in forever ? Even when the Habs were soooooo cheap to buy.....Gillett bought the team and arena for under 300M....no french company came out to buy them. Caisse Depot even financed a good chunk of the sale.....where was Quebecor, Bombadier, etc.....WTF....they had no balls to make such a move. It's the ''safe'' french business mentality....
I don't buy it.
