@FreshZerglings It is worst than that: L.A is not that far away from Phoenix... It only 6 hours in a car. But, they got at least 2 teams for that small niche when one (and a half) would do the jobs. Now, look at the market at 6 hours of Montréal:Sudbury in Ontario, Chicoutimi, Quebec, Fort Kent ,Maine and New-York. You could probably run 1 teams in that circle, it will be a dilute market but still people would still watch it. I will even consider Regina before thinking about 2 teams near L.A

@Rabiddingo66 Just so you know, Minnesota is a state, not a city. The city across the river from St. Paul is Minneapolis. The Wild represents the state, not a city. Like the Carolina Hurricanes which actually represent two states. Or like the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the CFL.

We lost control of the game when Bettman and the rest of the NHL brass allowed Anaheim to call their team the Mighty Ducks. It made o mockery of the history of the greatest sport on earth. Can you imagine Major League Baseball allowing a Canadian team to call itself the Bad News Bears? Shortening to The Ducks, doesn't help. It's still ridiculous.

I like how the Maple Leafs are consistently near the bottom of the standings, yet they're able to put a good majority of asses in seats. Yet Atlanta and Phoenix are having a half-decent season this year, while only bringing inno more than 3000 fans per night. Clearly success in hockey for a team does not equal fan attraction.

@officetrax Totally agree. We should start a league that is more like soccer in Europe operating on a system of promotion and regulation. That way, if the Leafs continue to suck, they're out of the premier hockey league and then perhaps a team from a place like Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec might be in if they're good enough and take the cup. We can even have the equivalent of a 'World Series' with the US champions if they still wanna do their thing.

@hanmerboys maybe your right about atlanta and pheonix ( Americans don't really like hockey ) but taking all hockey teams out of America, you'll just have more lockouts and you will lose all you talents - canada would start a CHL, with far less revenue - America would have more money and restart the NHL in northern cities ( paying more money ) - all your good players will be upset while comparing paychecks and leave for the NHL - CHL vs NHL will be like NFL vs CFL

@notredale123 I never understood why Hamilton was denied an NHL team. Bettman needs to wake up and realize that having a team in Phoenix won't make the league as much money than if the team was in Hamilton. I know it's in very close proximity to Toronto and Buffalo, but who cares! Goodness knows that the people of Toronto need another (hopefully better) team to cheer for. I live near the ACC, but I would attend a game in Hamilton over a Leafs game any day.

@BearBoi69 Fail 5 - OTPF is the largest pension fund in Canada. It is administered by professional money managers who are very good at what they do, not by teachers with an axe to grind. If OTPF is dissatisfied with MLSE it is likely that the latter's growth potential going forward doesn't match the objectives of the former. OTPF is not interested in running MLSE, a job for which Mr. Tanenbaum is paid (he is Chairman of MLSE). Fail 6 - veins popping on your forehead and drool on your chin.
