| 1640105598132838401 | @SaraCivian @JohnForslund They should, though I’m not sure anyone keeps co-opting like the Hurricanes have. Do the Avs have annual Nordiques night? If they do, I’m unaware. Ultimately for me this isn’t some stance against co-opting in general. I only care about one franchise. The one I grew up with. | 1 |
