Expansion on the horizon?

[DeNiro]

So Bettman finally admits defeat in Arizona and then immediately rushes back to Atlanta?

 

The guy can’t help himself. No way Atlanta should be next in line for a franchise.

 

I hope the owners enjoy propping up another poverty franchise and piss away all that expansion revenue they get over the next 20 years.

if the NHL is going to do another expansion I'd really like to see Portland. Already a built-in rivalry with Seattle and also Vancouver to make a "Battle of Cascadia". Just like the Battle of Alberta boosts both Calgary and Edmonton a Battle of Cascadia could boost Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland. Not to mention Portland is also a pretty good hockey market already.

 

I could live with that.  Market the division as the "I-5" division, with Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, SJS, LAK, and Anaheim Stupid Fucks.  Throw in the two Alberta teams just for shits and giggles.

At this rate, New Orleans will get a team before Quebec City
