so if you asked someone if San jose, Colarado, St Louis, and Dallas were west or south of Phila? what do you think the correct asnwer would be, Sw maybe on Dallas the others are west! But not going to beat this to death.WC Handy said:Uhhmm. They are south and west. Nice try though.

Wayne Gretzky and I share the same birthday .. Month, day and year .. So that makes us both the great ones I guess ..

Sure why not ??.. I also don't post single line line responses either .. I often write a small book to discuss a point if need be as well .. Die hard fans of Hockey exist at all ages .. Lots of people older then I .. Some are even well respected Mods around here .. Gee Wally comes to mind off the bat..blitzkriegs said:11,000+ posts for someone in their early 40's...
jb said:The teams you mentioned haven't drawn that well lately but the circumstances are different, chicago bad ownership-they have drawnn well previously, same with Boston, they are tired of their cheap owners, Isle need a new arena, NJ-not much of an argument from me there, buffalo we all know their circumstances recently,
The Messenger said:Yes that is the exception to every rule .. right there ..
Now a days you could add 10 smaller market teams together and not get the talent of the Oilers teams of the 1980's .. Thus the watered down league comments ..

DON CHERRY IS THAT YOU?The Messenger said:I guess you can't be a purist and want the Original 6 NHL back again
Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Detroit, Chicago, NYR
Any expansion after that was bad expansion IMO ..
St. Louis is in Missouri.RallyKiller said:DON CHERRY IS THAT YOU?
Anything that pisses off don cherry is fine by me, hopefully we'll have teams in alabama and missouri soon.

your ignorance is why I love expansion.

Check my profile .. My User ID : 206 .. One of the original first members of the board .. being just over 200 members to join..
One of the very first to re-register after the big crash of the HF boards in 2002 .. and have been a member again since then .. So that is spread out over 3+ years here at Hockey futures .. Check it out 02-27-2002 is the first day of the new HF board.
Your User ID : 10416 quite a differance I would say ..
Turn to the sports section and see if they are projecting an end to the lockout soon.Digger12 said:My User ID is 35...combined with a loonie, I *might* be able to buy the sunday paper with that.
The NHL decided not to take the Bulls.The Messenger said:Really ??
A poster on a message board's state of being gives you that much clarity in your beliefs ??
Have they relocated St. Louis, that I am not aware of ??
The WHA tried Birmingham Alabama as an experiment
http://hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/teamseasons.php?tid=171
In fact the Bulls folded rather then enter the NHL when the WHA merged with the NHL in 1978-79 .. But Edmonton, Winnipeg, New England and Quebec did become NHL teams so that was as close as the NHL came to Alabama ..

Yep St. Louis Philly, New York had a second team, Quebec. Are we bringing back the Maroons?arnie said:Why do you and other people insist on calling them the "original siz?" Thery weren't the original six anything. There were other NHL teams around long before these 6 teams comprised the NHL. Pittsburgh had and NHL team long before the "origginal six" came came into existance. So did Ottawa and other places.
2004: 18th in franchise value (higher than the so-called "traditional markets" Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, and Pittsburgh), and 24th in revenue.ObeySteve said:Phoenix is dead last in the league in revenue. 30th freaking place....even less than near-bankrupt teams on league welfare like Buffalo and Edmonton.

You forgot the "HFBoards rule of thumb" in regards to attendance discussions. If a southern or non-traditional market has bad attendance, it's because it's a bad hockey market. If a northern or traditional market has bad attendance, it's because they're such smart hockey fans they won't support a bad owner/bad building/bad location/bad management, etc.canes-sth said:Exactly. But why does a "snapshot" hurt new markets without history, but not markets where the ownership is "cheap" or "bad" and attendance has suffered? Are there indications that that will change?
A writer said "Disgust is not the same as apathy." in reference to the Charlotte Hornets moving and I totaly agree with that. This axiom deffinately aplies to Canadain franchises who had soft attendence durin the last CBA.Sotnos said:You forgot the "HFBoards rule of thumb" in regards to attendance discussions.
