That's probably the last time the NHL was smart enough to relocate a team to a Canadian city. It sure seems like Bettman has something against having teams in Canada. We may only represent 1/5 of the teams in the NHL, but the Canadian teams account for 1/3 of the revenue. Maybe one day they will stop trying to force hockey on an oversaturated US sports market and bring it back to the fans that really want it.
Seriously, we have a team in Arizona, 2 in Florida, 3 in California, and talk of a Vegas team (I can picture a hockey team called the Vegas Showgirls now), yet we have no teams left in the Canadian prairies or Maritimes where people can still play on outdoor ice for 5 months a year and they live and breathe hockey.
What can you do? Ever sport is now about the $$$$ rather than the fans.
