bye bye, or hello? (5.00 / 1) (#7)

perhaps the self-eating syndrome will mutate into something better than what currently stands? I mean, when hockey started getting ripped out of it's long-time homes and moved to the likes of Texas and Florida in the name of the almighty-buck, many hardcore fans immediately questioned what was going on. Well, now we know.

This should be about the love of the sport, not the love of advertising dollars, merchandicing, ticket sales, and arena head-count.

Which is why I think it might be bye bye NHL, hello WHA.

That's what I've been hoping for for a long time. I hate the NHL, and want it to die. Perhaps then we'll get:

1. A league with teams in Winnipeg, Quebec, Hamilton, Halifax, and (one can dream) Milwaukee, and WITHOUT teams in Miami, Tampa, Nashville, Phoenix, Charlotte, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, or Hattiesburg, MS.

2. Some FRICKIN' OFFENSE for a change! Scoreless draws are for pussy European soccer fans. I watch hockey to see goals, checking, and fighting, in that order. Fix the game so we get more of the first two, and I'm a happy person. Hockey is not a "finesse sport."

Why exclude any city? (none / 0) (#10)

As long as there is an owner who can afford it, I say let any city have a team. If it doesn't fuck up the game, I'm for it. Mind you, that includes thinking it doesn't have to necessasarily help the game either - as long as it doesn't detract from it, I think anyone should be allowed to play.
