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.

Yeah fuck Atlanta, they stink. Las Vegas would be pretty cool though I think. 30 teams is kinda enough already though. The Coyotes will be relocating soon by the sounds of things, so they should all fight it out to see who gets them.

Or maybe they should expand to Mexico, get a team in Tijuana. Strap some skates on those Mexicans and watch them go. Like Luis Mendoza!

The Coyotes should be moved to Vegas

Jack Eichel sent a wrister through the fucking net at practice the other day....oooooh man, thing of beauty!

Niiiice. They missed out on McDavid but got themselves a great prospect all the same.

Im going through hockey withdrawals so bad. Last night I listened to a Bobby Hull interview done by Christ Jericho (whose dad played for the Rangers). It was a pretty cool interview! He goes into detail about when they figured out putting a curve on the stick would allow you to shoot way harder, a lot of NHL history, jumping ship to the WHL and getting blackballed from the NHL and international competition... pretty cool interview if anyone's interested
