PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
I just wish there was a team coming to Hamilton or the Waterloo region. Nothing against Winnipeg or Quebec City, but they both had a chance to have a NHL franchise and lost their teams, while there is a much larger population base to draw from in southwestern Ontario. To heck with the Maple Leafs' boo-hooing, this market is more than large enough to fully support two NHL franchises.
ETA: According to Bob McKenzie over on TSN, the Winnipeg team will play in the Southeast Division for one year before the league realigns for the 2012-13 season. Makes sense to me as it's kinda last minute and they've already started on the schedule for next year. Letting the Winnipeg team take over the already-set Thrashers schedule for next year is least problematic for the overall league schedule.
So... what will the new team's name be? I don't think they'll be keeping the Jets name since that was only 15 years ago and that team became the Coyotes in Phoenix. The Winnipeg Moose? The Manitoba True North?
