Ah, what if you were born and raised in Tampa? Would that be a reason?

Perhaps but the fact remains Bettman is as bad if not worse than Goodell. And took teams from Hockey towns and moved them to the south.

Who really plays hockey in the south ???? It's more of a nothern sport IMO. Ponds don't freeze in the south in the winter. I doubt you'll see a pair of ice skates at a yard sale. Yada, yada, yada.

Josh,

This is just me being the devil's advocate, so don't take it personal, please.

Do you play hockey, or does everyone in the north play hockey? I live in Southern California, and we have a thriving youth hockey program, thanks in most part to Teemu Selanne. In this day and age, we have these things called "indoor ice rinks." They work great for skating on ice. Even I play pick-up games for teams in leagues that are down a guy and need to fill a roster. We have some pretty good teams down here, the past few years, too.

Just picking on you, because I am really a Red Wings fan, and we have a long rivalry. Good luck to the Hawks, they have a great team (because they stole Scotty Bowman away from the Wings, to run player development).

Have to root for Tampa to beat Chicago being a Flyers fan .

Coke, Budweiser and the TV stations are happy also. TB vs. Anaheim wouldn't get the ratings the Hawks will bring.


"Old time hockey" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


One of my childhood heroes

Your point is understood. Similar to the SEC and everyone else in college football.

However...go Bolts!

PM me your address. You being a Whaler fan, I've got something for you. It will help sooth the southern-style hockey whooping coming your way.
