re: Coyotes Deal Dead NHL

I love the Halifax and its connections with Boston. If a team were moved there, they'd be able to draw interest from the other Martimes, but I have to figure drawing 18k on a consistent basis would be a challenge just because it's such a small city. You're right, Quebec and another Southern Ontario franchise are both more feasible at the current time. In any event, the cup is heading up there for the second time in three years (and, incidentally, it's headed to New Brunswick and Newfoundland as well).
