And before you know it the Lynx will be sold to so don't get your hopes up.
Yes, the Canadians being moved would be a huge blow on hockey in general. I don't see why they would move though...they have the biggest rink, and they fill it up nearly every single game. But money could still be a problem.
Am I bad , Well I guess it must be 23, still that is a decent record regardless. It probaily is in there 30's if you count the pre NHL period.The montrealites really love the canadians still too this day, But another reason for good ticket sales for every team is the fact its also about seeing a live NHL game in your area ,Alot of stuggeling teams like the cannucks wouldnt have survived if everyone who bought tickets did so soley to see that team win.
But the NHL biggest concern is balooning salaries for players as the NHL has the highiest of the major north american professional sports , NHL players are paid higher then NBA and NFL, So that is whats killing teams is the fact even if you always have full house you always need a little more then you can make and they have to push for alot of merchandising and other ways of keeping up with the costs.
Denver has an extremly strong roster this year should be interesting.The canadians are doing very well so far this season.
