IM divided on the issue of Québec getting a team back. I want it with all my heart and soul, but that is the one thing that would possibly result in the sabres being regulated down to second(as i plan to move into Trois Rivières at a soonish part of my life (after school, and after i move back to north america from south africa(which my move there will happen after school is done))

Dont worry, reggie will be fine. kotalik however, will be spending a lot of time in rochacha

I've done some digging, so the Jets were the Thrashers.

Were there money problems in Atlanta or did the crowds stop going? I imagine after losing Heatley few years back then Kovulchuck their appeal dropped and the occasional fan just stopped going cos of that.

Georgia isn't really known for sport in the US anyway, save the 1996 Olympics the state doesn't make noises in the sport world that other places do.

the southern part of the states, in general, is horrible when it comes to hockey. they shipped up to calgary when it came to the flames, and they did the same with their second attempt, with the thrashers to winnipeg. the ownership wanted to sell, the ownership was awful by the way.

I though we were done with him, but noooo you guys had to give him back

Yeah Atlanta only made the playoffs once in their decade of existence and got swept hard to attract fans when your team is terrible.

I'm still holding out for a Hamilton or Tri Cities(Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge) team so I can burn my leaf merchandise and finally have a franchise that treats fans better than manure.

i love my bills, even though my interest in american football and the NFL isnt that great. i much prefer rugby, real football, and the LCF (Alouettes )

i know that they arent, but i find it stupid. the buffalo/niagara falls market should entend into ontario, and have a tv programming for southern ontario

Tiger-Cats

Glad they cleared that link up. I was beginning to wonder what other animals Tigers were like.

The feeder leagues don't half have silly names.

I wondered when someone was going to bring this up!!! The name actually comes from the merger of two Hamilton clubs in 1950, The Hamilton Tigers and Hamilton Flying Wildcats. Thus the Tiger-Cats moniker was selected.

Why not Flying Tigers? The one thing that could make Tigers more threatening is levitation

Probably because I hadn't done my research properly and hadn't realized that the Wildcats had dropped the flying part of their name a couple of years after World War Two LOL. So possibly Wild Tigers could have been a option.
