NHL Hockey thread

Arena, no Arenas, Quebecor or No Quebecors, the Nords are a dead dream, an unsustainable dream. Let them RIP.

This is HABS country now, boy.

So long as NHL teams in Florida is a thing there is always hope.

The NHL has teams in Florida because it makes sense for the National TV rights Holders, adding a team in Quebec City will do nothing for Rogers and cost NBC millions.

I'm pretty sure I'm not jealous of a team that is perpetually the worst team in all of hockey.

I think we can all agree there is no reason to be jealous of the Leafs.  But if you want to compare how many cups WHA teams have won...

Yeah, the Oilers are total garbage now, and have been for years and years now.  Honestly, even their last Finals run was an aberration in an ocean of suck.  But they definitely had glory years in the 80s and early 90s.  That was a pretty long run of total domination.

Yeah I would rather be a has-been like the Oilers than a never-were like our clubs BB

Good for the Blackhawks.  Solid team they got there.  I do wonder if they'll be able to keep their core intact though.

Did I not post about how Glendale City Council has purported to "cancel" the Coyotes lease, and the whole mess is back in court?  It's fascinating if you get off on sports-legal stories (and I do).

[viper37]

Going to court that means what?  The Coyotes management team gets a temporary injunction to force the city into paying them while they hear the cause in various tribunals?  So they go to local court, than District appeal court, than Federal court than Supreme court?  So in 15 years or so, year 17-18 out of 20 year deal, the courts will rule that the city had the rights to cancel the lease?

[Grey Fox]

The team is out of the city in 3 more years when Vegas has it's arena ready.

So in year, 17-18 of a 20 year deal that was nullify by the other party in year 5.

Oh well. At this point I'd like to see Chicago win. My friend, a rabid Kings fan, wants the Lightning to win so Chicago can't claim a dynasty has begun. He'd like Los Angeles to do that. I suspect the best of LA is behind us though.
