@Beanflicker why do you hate Toronto so much?

They are the Chicago Cubs of hockey

He's a sick player and I can't wait to see him in the NHL personally.

He's fast and agile as fuck but he is undersized, I think he's barely above 160 so he's going to have to beef up. Paul Kariya and Erik Karlsson did it, he can too.

I've read where Quebec City is on the verge of landing another team....that would be great for hockey IMO. Would love to see the Nordiques back in the NHL.

We'll see what happens with that. I heard Las Vegas and Seattle were in the mix too. I'd be more excited for a Las Vegas team, although I have no idea if people would take to it there.

I always get more excited about new American cities getting teams so it expands hockey's influence in America. You don't have to sell hockey to Canadians, we're already fully invested. Getting new American hockey fans (especially in the southern states) is always good.

Hurricanes, Panthers, Lightning, Preds, Dallas Stars....I think there are enough teams in the southern US. Atlanta has tried twice (Flames and Thrashers) and shouldn't be allowed a 3rd bite at the apple.

Virginia might could use a team other than the Caps which they share with Maryland, but I don't think they have a big enough city that's far enough away from DC to handle it.

I'm an Ottawa fan, bitter rivals of Toronto. The Battle of Ontario was really tremendous back 10 years ago when both teams were strong.

In Canada everyone is either a Toronto fan, Montreal fan, or other. Toronto has a lot of obnoxious fans who always overhype their team at the beginning of the season, saying this is the year they finally are gonna make it into the playoffs and make a run for the cup, so it's always exciting to see them fail miserably.

I hate Toronto and I hate Montreal, because when I was 7 they beat my idol Wayne Gretzky and the Kings in the cup final.

I'm Ottawa and Edmonton all day!
