SlapshotWrangler 864 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I arrived in Quebec, as I had wanted to just go there for fun and sightseeing. Then I passed by the former Meute arena, and there was a huge riot or something going on. People were shouting swears and other stuff I wouldn't be allowed to mention, so I decided to check it out. I read some signs that said that they were about how unhappy they were about the Meute relocating to Vancouver. Signs like “Meute > Wolves” and “First the Nordiques, now the Meute?!” were there. For those who’ve been living under a rock for the past year didn’t know, the ever popular Quebec City Meute relocated to Vancouver to become the Vancouver Wolves. I was talking to this guy for the article. And I kid you not, this is what he said word for word. “It’s not our fault the Wolves and Canucks fucking suck! Don’t take our team away to make up for your stupid excuses of hockey teams!” There were about seven thousand people at the Arena protesting. It turns out they don’t care if the Meute come back, they just want a team in Quebec after having their teams taken away. “Maybe they did the relocation to cover up the fact they sucked!” said one angry Quebecois. As the day went on, it became a bit more serious. The arena and some other buildings were defaced, statues of Quebec legends were taken down, one even burned. People were shouting stuff that makes me even uncomfortable just thinking about what they said. I went to Vancouver to watch a Canadiens vs Canucks game a few days later to see if it would be affected and there were tons of angry Quebec hockey fans holding up signs and booing the Canucks. The game was in Vancouver. A home game where the Canucks can only hear booing. After the game, I went to the Wolves arena and there were tons of angry former Meute fans. They were making graffiti on the outside of the Wolves' arena and there was so much fighting between Wolves fans and Quebec hockey fans. The police had to come in. It was absolute chaos. This has basically become a Tavares situation, except it’s not a player it’s a whole franchise.
