    @@FischerFan LA, Anaheim, Vegas, Dallas, Nashville, Carolina and Tampa have all been successes. Florida struggled for a while, but still here and stable after 30 years. Why have all these teams succeeded while Arizona and Atlanta didn't? It's because of ownership that didn't give a shit and sold at the first opportunity. Same reason why Canada lost just as many teams as the sun belt in the Bettman era. I guess the NHL has no business being in Canada either.

    One of the biggest crimes ever committed by that weasel Gary Bettman, who did nothing to save the Jets and keep them in Winnipeg. Ever since he took over the NHL teams have relocated from traditional hockey markets like Winnipeg, Minnesota, Quebec, and Hartford to cities where hockey doesn't belong, most notably Phoenix/Glendale/Tempe, Dallas, and Raleigh.

    Lotta AZ/Coyotes trolls in here. Not surprising though, and you're all pretty much regurgitating the SAME, tired rhetoric. Yeah GREAT original take.... idiots. One comment I particularly loved was in reference to the notion that they should have "stayed in Winnipeg". Really? Well, you had financial problems and you relocated in 1996. However, you did end up getting an NHL franchise back in 2011 (Atlanta) and guess what? A mere 13 years later the "second" Winnipeg franchise again is in BIG trouble financially. Shocker. The reason? There is just little to no corporate money in Winnipeg, MB... period. The only reason for the downfall of the Coyotes in AZ was crap-ass ownership. It had nothing to do with "hockey" in the desert. And, BTW, I hate to bring this up to Winnipeg fans, but all your ownership group, which is very strong and very hockey savvy, needs to succeed is a big market with TONS of corporate money. So tell us, what major U.S. market happens to be looking for a motivated ownership group with money, AND who has their act together, to bring a team in? Yep, Phoenix, AZ! Hey... guess what Winnipeg.... WE'RE GONNA GET YOUR TEAM A SECOND TIME! So thank you in advance, Winnipeg Manitoba. We'll get it right this time.😘💋
