So in 10 years when the Peg fails again will you shut up about it?

I'd shit my pants if the Coyotes move...to Hartford.

Just for the shits and giggles.

Now the Whale, there is a town deserving a team again.

:yes:

They're third in line - right behind Winnipeg and Quebec City.

Hartford however is still lacking an arena.  That's why Winnipeg keeps being mentioned - we have a modern, NHL-ready arena.  Quebec is going to build one, but hasn't broken ground yet.  Hartford... they're still talking.

And yes - I think all of winnipeg understands if we lost the Jets a second time, that would be it for a generation or two at a minimum.

Seedy will love this one:

From Dave Shoalts, a Globe and Mail sports reporter:

Quotedshoalts David Shoalts
How long would it take Atlanta Thrashers to replace Coyotes in going to Winnipeg? See Irsay, Robert and Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts.

:shifty:

Suddenly a lot of news reports about Atlanta again...

If that happens, then hopefully the NHL will never give them another team again. This is the second franchise that failed.

Agreed.

But there's nothing wrong with giving a hockey market a second chance.  After all it worked in Minnesota and Denver... and will work in Winnipeg.

But two failures and you're out.

Oh don't get me wrong; I too would love to see Winnipeg get a team. And I'd like to see the Nordiques back too.

Well, between the Canucks and Bruins, there sure will be a lot of goonery in the 2nd round.

Rioting in defeat is no fun. I am drowning my sorrow in Booze.

Gawd fucking damn it. Now they'll go on & get beaten by the Flyers. Fuck the Bruins!

Well, honour can be restored to the playoffs by having Vancouver and Detroit be eliminated as quickly as possible.  It'd be nice if Boston lost too, as their goonish behavior has turned me off of them.  Still, I'm going to enjoy Washington and Tampa.  It's a series I can watch without hating anyone.

LOL, Sabres.
