WHAT?! Wow...though I guess I shouldn't act so surprised, if I can't even get the capital city of your country right, why should Canadiens know which teams are states and which are cities?
BTW, who's the new profile pic?


Mattias Norlinder cool

The only reason I know every damn town in Ontario and western Canada is because of the OHL and WHL lmao

Also on the topic of Saskatchewan getting a team, I’m sure they could sustain a team there (especially because the SaskTel Centre only seats just over 15k, about the same as the Jets), it’s not like there’s anything else to do in Saskatchewan lol. They’d probably pack the arena every night, although they do only have a third the population of Winnipeg. They’d probably still lose money but at least they’d have fans in the stands.

My order for new teams would be Houston, Quebec City, Kansas City, Saskatoon, Milwaukee, Hartford, Hamilton, and then another team because 40 is a nice number, probably switch to 8 divisions of 5 at that point. Idk where I’d put the 40th team. Could put a 2nd team in Toronto or Montreal, or maybe one in Minneapolis (the Wild play in St. Paul and I know they’re the twin cities but it’s one of the biggest hockey markets in the USA). Maybe a city like Halifax, London (willing to accept London over Hamilton too tbh, it’s slightly further from Toronto and Buffalo), or OKC. If hockey in Texas takes off after adding Houston you could even throw a team in San Antonio or Austin, but that might be pushing it. Or Atlanta again lol, 3rd time’s the charm.


Those are probably all my top cities to get teams.

The last one, I'd probably say Halifax. They don't have any pro sports really (they do have NLL lacrosse and QMJHL, but it's not the same).

So Mark Scheifele really doesn't want to be liked now, first, he blindside's Evans and blames it on Evans then he profits off of it in a car safety commercial

Same response to the Evans hit but replace eyes on the road by head up, which is pretty much the same thing

What kind of extension do you see Kris Letang getting at this end of this upcoming season?

Considering he'll be 35, I think a 3 year deal worth 6M per would be the Pens' best bet.

OOOOOOOOOOF I just saw a post trying to get SJ to pay the Leafs to take on Kane...

I'm sorry but a locker room cancer is the last thing the Leafs need right now.

One city everyone sleeps on is Louisville, Kentucky.

The city is big enough, and maybe they can pull off playing games in the stadium the college basketball team plays in (the name is f*cking hilarious, though: The KFC Yum Center) while an actual hockey arena gets built. The only question is popularity: Would the state of Kentucky be able to support hockey?

If the rumors of ARI offersheeting Tomas are true, this will be the craziest offseason in awhile

I know it's a meme at this point, but TOR isn't likely to make it to the 2nd round next season. They're incredibly weak at LW, they haven't got tougher to play against and the PP is still a major question mark.

And for Leafs fans' sake, I hope this results in Kyle Dubas' firing, which should've already happened btw

Nope waiver exempt but the deal I believe has to be an ELC.
