I think hockey has the chance to survive in some of the sun belt cities as long as they’re there long enough to sustain a winning team. Look at a franchise like Dallas…they’ve been good for years and now the kids in the area are picking up the sport. A lot of hockey rinks have opened up in the region. If you give the sport a chance to take roots there, it will grow.

anaheim and LA Kings actually do quite well. During the winter the proximity to the mountains in LA makes them a big draw. And it’s a massive market.

Didn’t teams leave Canada because they were losing money? I think its a big Catch 22. Obviously there should not be teams in Atlanta, Phoenix, and Miami. Those are obvious as they will never be supported year in and year out. Then who gets the boot? Nashville, I guess. Columbus? If they start winning their fan base will grow. New Jersey, the Islanders? Both of those franchises have multiple cups and history. It’s easy to say the NHL should fold 8 franchises, but which 8 are they?

Don’t forget the amish. They were the best.

It’s always wierd seeing Menonites (spelling?) when I go to the mall in Waterloo. I also, I kid you not, saw a fucking horse carriage pull up next to me while I was in a bus near the Amish country parts of Waterloo. Unforunetly, the bus driver did not drag race him.

Hartford itself had to relocate.

the worst part of NHL 10 is that you can’t change the Hurricanes uniforms to the old Whalers jerseys. It’s a bloody shame.
