LeftWinger 5,131 Report post Posted July 9, 2015 Every team's state/city tries this, it's like they all want to jump on the Hockeytown wagon. Get over it, there is only ONE Hockeytown. Its just too bad you didn't coin a phrase first...now it just makes you look like you are trying to copy us, and failing miserably...thanks for playing... 5 LasVegasRocks, roboturner, WingsAlways and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted July 9, 2015 I have no issues with this, gotta promote the city in attempt to bring the tournament. That said, looking at the potential cities, I'm guessing it should really only be a PIT and DET as options. Didn't Buffalo just have it a few years ago? TB or Glendale? No way. PIT probably has an edge on DET due to Arena. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
