Oh, well; we weren't watching them anyway.

I don't think you were a fan, but in case you were, it sucks to lose a team.  I know that pain very well. :(

Edmonton is no longer the least attractive city for free agents anymore! :D
Don't kid yourself. :console:

I've lived in both, and know which I'd prefer to live in if all things were equal.
Winnipeg is home for you, so it's a little different.  There's a better racial distribution here, and less flooding and bad weather.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

It only sucks because the NHL has presumptions of being one of the major sporting leagues in the country(the "Big 4") so we no longer have the full complement. Honestly, it should be about as important as having a MLS team.

If you don't watch the games, what does it matter if you have the "full compliment"?

Is there any possible basis for comparing MLS to the NHL?  Revenue?  TV Ratings?  Attendance?

I think if the team is in the championship people sorta pay attention but besides that basically yeah.

Anyway congrats again and they better name this team the Winnipeg Jets.

You know it's kind of shitty, but perhaps says it all, that there was no announcement made in Atlanta, that the news broke in Winnipeg instead.

This is the second time the city of Atlanta has lost an NHL franchise. In 1980, the Flames left for Calgary.  No other U.S. city has lost a professional sports franchise to Canada, and now it's happened to Atlanta twice -- in the same league.

Damn, Atlanta must be a really boring city.

Why doesn't it reach the "drop the puck" segment?

Board of Governors needs to approve the deal.
