That may be the case, but it does absolutely nothing for our local markets. I want hockey to remain viable in Canada... it would pain me greatly to see our teams reduced to just Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. (The largest Canadian cities in other words).
It hurt for Winnipeg to lose their team. Minnesota's North Stars fold and five years later (not sure on the timeline, just using it as an example) they're allowed ANOTHER team? The commish all but spits on Winnipeg saying they'll never get another team... but a US market is allowed a second chance?
Yes, I'm bitter damnit. It's our game, and I want our teams to be able to succeed.
*EDIT*
Forgot to mention Quebec moving to Colorado. Colorado's team also folded and they were allowed a second chance. It really makes me sick that our national game may no longer exist in our country.
