Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) The point is you HAVE to pick a Canadian team. I know it's a tough choice because they all have so much history (except OTT and VAN) but you have tough decisions in life and this is one of them.

BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted March 30, 2007 I wouldn't eliminate columbus.....they get pretty decent crowds and I think Columbus is a pretty good hockey market. I'd go with Florida and Phoenix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Florida, id say its the team with second most loyal fanbase, behind the dolphins....heat only now cause of bandwagons, and the marlins fanbase is attrocious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redwinger4747 6 Report post Posted March 30, 2007 Saying you HAVE to pick a Canadian team is just plain stupid. They are all strong markets. Thats like saying "Which original six team should we ditch?" or "Which of the six Wings with retired numbers sucked the most?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd go with Florida and Phoenix CBJ this season has about 621,000 total attendance FLA has 596,000 total...

drwscc 212 Report post Posted March 30, 2007 Montreal???? ooohhhhkkkkkkkkk What? I'm not entitled to an opinion, simply because you don't agree with it? I've been to Quebec, and it made a less than favorable impression on me. Add that to how crappy their fans treat the team, and why not? It's my least favorite Canadian team.

Neither does Florida except for one singular year and guess who was their coach that year?? Columbus isn't going anywhere..... Phoenix has no tradition. Neither really does Minnesota in their current form. Or the Capitals for that matter. Being good once every other decade isn't exactly a tradition. Trust me, I've either lived in Columbus or around columbus for the past 10 years now, it's a good market for hockey. It isn't the fourth or fifth option after baseball, basketball and the NFL like it is in a LOT of other cities. That and the fact that there are nearly 1.5 million people within half an hour drive of the city means the franchise is there to stay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
