As God I hereby render the Anaheim Mighty Ducks null and void. Let their assets be spread far and wide across the league, in a mighty dispersal draft. And on the 7th day I'm gonna chill.

Just as reasonable as "let's get rid of teams where it doesn't snow"nucks&flames said:ALL THE CANADIAN TEAMS!!! yeah, their dollar sucks!!!! The states pwn the NHL!!! Who needs fan support when youve got a higher dollar!!

I understand that you folks up there are used to mass transit, but really, other people do have to drive through horrible traffic to games, and we still show up! Is this a lack-of-car issue or a bad-traffic issue? Just curious, because most people I know who live/lived in the area still had a car even if they didn't take it to work.Flame_Star_Devil said:Finally, I'd snap my fingers and create a giant, usable mass transit system to the Meadowlands so people would have some way of getting there other than driving. And people wonder why attendance is bad.

xxx408. ~ last city on the list...those that didn't make the cut:
x. East Rutherford, United States...Devils
x. Long Island, United States...Islanders
x. St. Paul, United States...Wild
once again, this is just based on population (over 100,000) - I just thought it would be interesting to see how they ranked... of course there are a lot of other factors to consider when determining if a paticular urban setting is fit to support an NHL franchise...
and a good read from msnbc --> Non-traditional NHL cities on thin ice
kmad said:Firstly, pretending I were God, I'd have to assume a higher moral standard, especially relative to the atmosphere. Given the dominance of North American fans on the site, I'd have to attach myself to the notions of God that are distributed by the different facets of Christianity.
Secondly, if I were God, what would I be more concerned with - the state of the game of hockey, or symbolism that flies right in the face of divinity?
The first team I'd eliminate would be the New Jersey Devils. This is an obvious one. Having them as a franchise is bad enough, but allowing them to be one of the best teams is an insult to everything I've created. It solidifies the idea that satanism leads to success. The one thing this team has going is that they have the second coming of Jesus as their active goaltender.
The second team I'd eliminate would be the Buffalo Sabres. Not only is my arch nemesis on this squad, but he's designated as their team leader? Proposterous.
Since the teams are so close geographically, I'll probably just destroy the whole of New York State with a hurricane or something, to save my holy time. Therefore, the third and fourth teams I'd eliminate are the Islanders and the Rangers, for no real good reasons.
ifesfor said:He all know that the talent is spread out in the league because there is too many team.Which team woudl u simply "close" to add more talent to every team?
Here are my vote:
1-Nashville
2-Columbus
3-Florida
4-Carolina
When i see these 4 team at tv,i dont even mind watching the game, i know it will be just boring.Except NASH in columbus, well there is nothing incerdible to see
Now we would be back at 26 team, and that will give us a better show no?
