The Colorado Avalanche moved from Quebec 25 years ago. A photo from Nathan MacKinnon hints the Avs could finally give a nod to their old city.
I really love the Quebec Nordiques. They were a sharp identity, they played in a great place (Quebec City is absolutely beautiful), and they, against their will, gave us the Avalanche.
