I believe Atlanta has tried and failed twice when it comes to supporting an NHL franchise.


You mean where one owner went broke (Flames) and the other owners ran the franchise into the ground on purpose (Thrashers).

Yep. Atlanta gets a bad rap. The NHL failed them not the other way around.

They can't go back to Winnipeg anymore.

Maybe Quebec to replace the Nordiques...I mean Avalanche?

I hope they do something sensational and unexpected like sending them to a city without any other pro team.

The Whalers haven't been the same since Bob Marley died.

Article said they had $1.7 million in unpaid bills to the city. My just be an accounting this though ala net 30 or net 60.

No they were not. They have unpaid bills but both parties haven’t been happy with each other for a long time. The new owner came in and wasn’t happy with the way things were running (team was losing $25 million a year) so they basically canceled contracts and started over. There are several entities that say they are still owed money including the city(and those claims may indeed have merit), but it’s likely the cities money is a negotiating tactic. Much like this announcement from the city that they are done.

They should have never moved to Glendale and will end up in the east valley where they belong.

Atlanta has a shitty fan base for a city it’s size. A lot of transplants and criminals.

Good. Hockey in Arizona is stupid. I'd even say hockey in Dallas and Houston is a bad idea. Of course the only reason why the Stars are successful is due to Northerners moving to Texas. But I think Houston is too close to the Gulf and attracts transplants who don't really like hockey. I hope the team moves to Quebec.

Makes perfect sense, really, since San Diego is German for "whale's vagina"

I know. My post wouldn’t make any sense if they already didn’t have it.
