Just saw this: Rick Martin dies in a one-car crash.
I personally think he should be gone. I think he is stupid for keeping Pheonix where they are.
I think he is caterting to the wrong market. I think there should be atleast 1 more NHL team in Canada. The statistics have proven that Canada is the where the market is. the top 4 teams for sellouts are Canadian.
Thats just my opinoin. I think down in the southern states the market isnt as good as up north.
Source on the sellouts.
As much as I hear Canadians calling for another team, they lost teams because there was not enough support for them(Winipeg, Quebec). While there is the same problem in Pheonix now, to a much smaller degree, I don't see an advantage to moving them back to Winnipeg to try again.
Well the playoff's are almost upon us, so it's time for the team Avatar.
Unfortunately my Leafs are all but mathematically eliminated now.
Over the the past few years I've become a fair-weather Canucks fan however to keep the playoffs interesting.
Sometimes I wish I lived further west so I could watch the Western Conference games without staying up too late..
Staying up too late? most are starting at 9:30 now.
Oh are you one of our "middle-aged" members?
Jumping back on the whole moving-teams-to-Canada thing the #1 destination should be Hamilton, Ontario. It's a dump of a city, but if they want guaranteed success there's nowhere better. Hundreds of thousands of hockey fans nearby and millions more an hour out of the city by highway. It wouldn't cannibalize from Toronto Maple Leaf fans because Toronto has SO MANY fans already. Hell, the city of Toronto could support two NHL teams itself.
Yes, the Red Wings lost to the Blues, 3-10.
