NHL: Thrashers to Move to Winnipeg
It's still not official, but seems a mere matter of time that the Atlanta Thrashers will be sold and moved to a company who will relocate them to Winnipeg. Supposedly no name has been suggested, THE JETS (C'MON), but I assume the NHL may wait for a dead time during the playoffs or after the season to become official.
Either way, IMO, this is great for the league. Without fully knowing the true issues, the Jets leaving for Phoenix was a disgrace back in the late 90s. And I think to bring a team back to Canada and out of one of the also-ran teams (apologies to Thrasher fans) truly is a good move for everyone involved.
Now, lets get some teams to get us back The Whalers and the Nordique!Cheers,
Jack

Shouldn't "Thrasher Fans" be singular? I've had as many encounters with Bigfoot as I have with Thrashers backers.

Re: NHL: Thrashers to Move to Winnipeg
I along with many other Canadians often wonder why hockey does not work in most American cities! I realize the south is not a hockey hotbed but the game is more exciting then Nascar ! Has anyone watched this years playoffs ! Hockey by far has the most exciting playoffs of any sport ! Most importantly ,THERE'S NO CRYING IN HOCKEY ! Lebron has a cold look out. Stop a 106 mile an hour slapshot from Chara ,Lebron, and then whine about a cold !
