You forgot Vancouver.

Don't be ridiculous.  Nobody from Canada can be evil.

[Barrister]

I am satisfied.  Anaheim and Carolina are the only evil teams in playoff position right now.  San Jose on evil probation pending confirmation of Katmai's claim that Shark fans actually like Hockey.

Anaheim isn't evil.

[Valmy]

Anaheim isn't evil.

Notice there is no debate about whether or not Carolina is evil.

Carolina, much like Phoenix, is a former WHA team that was stolen away to the south and as such is inherently evil.

Sorry Strix.

[Grey Fox]

Carolina, the best team in the NHL that everyone would rather see it play anywhere else.

I find Dallas to be the most evil. Move the North Stars away from Minnesota then plop an expansion team up there? Moronic.

Vancouver is pure evil, as is Toronto.  They're full of Euro players, and their fans are total trash.

Agreed.

I totally agree.  The Stars are the platonic idea of evil.

Then again, at that time Bettman's business plans were generally to take well-performing teams out of small markets and move them to larger American cities, ala Dallas and Denver.

We're lucky we didn't end up with the San Francisco Oilers, the Houston Flames and the Seattle Canucks.

Today is Sean Avery & Dion Phaneuf's birthday.

Also, Enrico Ciconne, a much cooler guy.

Bettman is the devil and the Stars are his prophets.

  That's it I am going back to hating the Sharks.

California and texas need more hockey teams, and since most Canadians leave Canada anyways for the US, might as well facilitate them invading our country by taking the hockey teams.
