Wang's given up hope on the Lighthouse..... I'm going to lose my hockey team. I'm heartbroken. They should move to Kansas City, and pull a Lakers. Keep the Islanders name even though it would make absolutely no sense in Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas City knows. Barbeque. Kansas City knows the blues. Kansas City doesn't know hockey. Milwaukee is the place to be. Do we really need another Nashville?

Hopefully this thing in Queens becomes a reality. I could watch the Braves kill the Mets then go to the Isles game.

Kings lose. Again, they give up too much on the power play. I do like the kind of hockey the Rangers are playing right now. Very physical. It seemed like whenever the Kings would get over the blue line they would get mugged. Plays were broken up with ease. The Rangers are looking pretty good right now. Could it be 1994 all over again? We still have a lot of hockey to play before we get there but the Rangers were probably the best team I've seen the Kings play so far.

The red wings got destroyed 6-2 by the sabres I was in the "WTF" mode in the ENTIRE second period. The sabres played pretty well but I except the wings to bounce back against the kings on Thursday. Good. I'm sick of Detroit winning 1 Stanley Cup this decade and we still call ourselves "Hockeytown" Actually, they won it twice, and made it to the finals 3 times. If the Bruins get the first overall pick, I`m going to be pissed off. I really hope the Islanders don`t go. Bettemen should be more worried about losing that franchise, as opposed to the papered `sold out`crap in phoenix.

Shit or get off the pot say no or yes don't drag your feet in a political game where you don't want to say you did deny them.

Kansas City knows the blues. Kansas City doesn't know hockey. Milwaukee is the place to be. Do we really need another Nashville? Isn't it St. Louis that knows the Blues? Not sure why KC would be any worse than Milwaukee. They don't even have an NBA team to compete with. Natural rivalry with the Blues already in tact. Outside of another Canadian city or Vegas I'm not sure there's a US city that makes more sense.

Outside of another Canadian city or Vegas I'm not sure there's a US city that makes more sense. Yes, St. Louis is known for the Blues. Milwaukee has shown great support for their minor league hockey team over the years, the Adrimals. UW hockey is also kind of a big deal so you would have a pipeline of fans outside the metro area. Milwaukee has natural rivalries with Chicago in baseball and the interleague rivalry with Minnesota. Wisconsin is a colder climate, and I believe that matters. The Bucks are hardly competition since they never really try to put a creditable team on the court. KC is kind of a southern city and hockey doesn't play as well in the south as it does in the north. Vegas makes a lot of sense for any sport but no major sport will movie there.

On what map is Kansas City considered southern or warm weather?

There's no way anyone deserves the ISLANDERS, The most storied US team other than the Red Wings, other than the NY area. If they move, it's utter crap on the league. I agree with this, but the discussion isn't if they should move...its where they should move if they do.

I would much rather move the Coyotes to KC, the Predators to Milwaukee, and no one gets hurt other than 12 total people in Nashville and Phoenix. But reality is, Long Island is going to have to build a stadium for the Isle and soon.

Other than the Bruins, Blackhawks, and Flyers too. The Blackhawks have 50 years of futility and ineptitude as their legacy, the Bruins 40. The Flyers claim to fame is gooning their way to a pair of Stanley Cups. The Islanders claim to fame is building the greatest dynasty in the sport (other than the Habs run) within 8 years of their creation and smashing through said Flyers en route to the Cup, and then staving off the next great team, Gretzky's Oilers, via a SWEEP, collecting their 4th consecutive cup and 19 consecutive playoff series wins. So, yeah. Get back to me on that.
