People arguing semantics is a sign that the summer is almost over. I can't wait for the season to start, so we can argue about things that actually matter.

Houston has a stadium with an owner who is looking to share it with the Rockets, and a population of over 7 million people. Aeros games used to do really well here, I'm sure if there was an NHL team here they would be well supported.

Bernier? Is that you?

We went from 43 to 47, did we trade back? we got 47 and 147 for 43 maybe?

The real question is, will the league still SELL the jerseys, or are they going to give up all of the $$$ the sales brought in??

If I could go and see the wings play once a year here my life would immediately improve my at least 500%.

We want Houston! Toyota center used to host the Aeros up until a few years ago, we have the facility and the population to support a hockey team already.

GD 2009 still haunts me.

If the league cared about census or largest metro area Houston would have had a team decades ago, before Dallas even.

I like the idea of factoring the last few years, it would keep teams from going to the finals one year and then getting the first round pick the next year (MTL 21, 22). Or teams having one down year, getting lucky in the lotto and adding a high pick to an already good roster (NYR 20). It would help out the the teams that have been struggling for a while instead of teams that have just had a bad year.

Mother f*****.

If Chicago gets 1st I give up on life.

LGRW!!

These next few games are important ones.
