T. Fertita has already expressed his interest in bringing hockey back to the city. Actually a pretty large hockey following in the city. Would be nice, I'd consider getting season tickets if we get the same Golden Goose Draft like Vegas did.

I don't think so...and while we are at it, please let Florida move too!! There needs to be more NHL teams in cities that actually play and support hockey. I would put Quebec, Regina, Milwaukee, Portland, Salt Lake City or Kansas City ahead of a city like Houston.

But why? They'll have no fans. Everyone in the area are already die-hard leafs fans

Seattle is getting the same expansion rules so I see that format staying for any new team don't like it but it is what it is.

Edmonton may have something to say about that.
CFL had two teams called the Roughriders.

Yea there’s literally no way Hamilton gets their own team. It makes no sense

They could easily draw fans that can't afford Leafs tickets. Have you seen prices for Leafs home games? Far and away the most expensive in the NHL. There's a reason that Leafs fans invade opposing arenas when they play there. It's cheaper for them to go to away games...even here in Vegas. Ok, I'm exaggerating...but not by much, especially for nearby games, such as Buffalo or Detroit.

and thats fine.
But thats not what im talking about. You dont just stop rooting for a team because tickets are too high. I rarely attend games, doesnt mean if st louis got another team that had $1 tickets im jumping ship. Hockey is pretty important there. The fans are pretty faithful to their team.

It's so weird that Wisconsin doesn't have one. Probably something to do with the Blackhawks.

Not when Detroit was good, but yes. Sabres have diehard fans too, but when you suck for so long its tough.
Toronto, Sabres, Red Wings, Blackhawk, Pens fans, etc. were notorious for invading Columbus when we were bad.
It's really only the Pens fans that do it en mass now because theres a lot of them in Ohio due to the Jackets being an expansion team.

Fk no it’s played on ice? This is the south, keep that shite up north along with those horrible cheese curds and disgusting brats they serve in Green Bay.
