You guys are Indian-givers. You tease us with a little ice action, then just when us hillbillies start getting use to it.......

The problem they're having is that they can find a better game of hockey on any pond in Canada than in the best rinks in the USA. The only way they can get a good game going down there is to play another team that's stacked with Canadian players.

You are labouring under the false impression that everybody likes warm weather. I prefer a crisp morning when you can see your frosted breath to a hot day when the air feels like a belch from the gaping mouth of the bubbling pit itself.

Egypt's not a bad place for Egyptians to live.

Well, any pond game here would require some sort of water ski! That's the problem the NHL has here; very few have ever played hockey themselves. We have to 'create' ice in these parts. Most of it goes to cool our drinks!

You can have your cold weather! I prefer to play a round of golf without having to take off two layers of clothing and thawing out my hands before each shot! I like watching a game without requiring to have special packs to keep from getting freeze burns! I don't like shivering for two hours after I finally find a warm place!

They are already taking deposits for season tickets for the Hamilton Predators. Think I read they have sold over 5,000 in the lower bowl, 47 out of 60 luxury boxes.

I read today that a local (Nashville) group of business men are preparing to make a counter proposal to buy the team and keep them in Nashville.

BTW, I hope the new iphone causes Blackberry to go out of business! The Canadian buyer of the Predators owns Blackberry!

I read somewhere that it was a done deal. The only hurdle was from the league and that was some sort season ticket sale quota.

I can comiserate with you though PM. We were just starting to get used to Basketball and that Fed ex snake lied and stole them away to memphis.

*Gulp!* I forgot about that!

If Nashville can average 14,000+ per game in attendance this coming year, the team can't break the lease with the city. The lease states that the team can break the lease only after 3 straight seasons of sub 14,000 per game attendance. Last year Nashville averaged 13,800 per game. We should be able to easily top tha mark this coming season, meaning the Predators would remain in Nashville for at least four more years! hahahahahaha!

All this high sticking has nothing to do with the Churches in Canada!





No one compares to The Great One and those Bruins anyway!

Or they can do what they did in Vancouver with the Grizzlies and dry up all the comp tickets, stop marketing and constantly talk about leaving. Eventually everyone says, "who cares" and the owners can say "see only 12500 again tonight" and away they go to whereever they want to go.

Hamilton is a great Hockey town and the team will do well there. Next we can rescue the Panthers and move them to Halifax or some other worthy city.

Sheesh americans *shakes head*

"The Great One" never played for the Bruins. The Bruins haven't been worth talking about since some time in the 80's
