    Never knew Vegas had a team. Did they replace another team?
    Sorry I don't follow hockey closely being far away.
    Expansion team new this season.  

    Seattle, probably in 2 or 3 years
    Ah cool. Why did they replace the Atlanta Thrashers?

    Thrashers moved to Winnipeg and became the Jets*.  Atlanta doesn't care about hockey and the NHL apparently didn't learn that the first time (see: Calgary Flames).

    *The original Winnipeg Jets are the current Phoenix Coyotes.
    That's what I hate about American sports.
    It's like the New Orleans Jazz became the Utah Jazz and now we have the New Orleans Pelicans.

    They moved to Winnipeg ... Atlanta should never get an NHL team again...

    atlanta should have no pro teams at all.
    Why is Atlanta a mistake?

    the boys looked sluggish last night, timing was off for everything.

    I got t-bay on proline for the win tonight.  They have to bounce back on one game. 

    Teams remaining in my hockeypool: Jets, Bolts, and Cap players left.   Need a high scoring game tonight... 5-4 tampa  cmon!

    Something to consider in the NHL playoffs.  Such a grind already, you certainly don't want the guys out doing blow from the butts of "escorts"

    Yep, and the Minneapolis Lakers (so named because Minnesota is the "Land of 10,000 Lakes") became the LA Lakers (any lakes in Los Angeles?) and now we have the Minnesota Timberwolves.  The Vancouver Grizzlies became the Memphis Grizzlies (definitely no brown bears in Tennessee).

    Speaking of which.. The Baltimore Orioles became the New York Yankees and now we have the Baltimore Orioles again, which used to be the St. Louis Browns, which used to be the Milwaukee Brewers.  And now we have the Milwaukee Brewers which used to be the Seattle Pilots.

    What else are teams suppose to to do if they can not make a go of it in their current city.  Atlanta was a long shot to survive at best.  If the NHL hadn't put so much effort into Phoenix they'd be gone by now...

    Does this cancel the concert you were holding tickets to?

    got moved to Saturday, which kinda puts a wrench in my long weekend plans, but not a huge deal. people on facebook are freaking out all over the place, people claiming they travelled/booked flights/hotels for the show, etc. 

    I live 5 minutes from the arena, so no real biggie for me.

    Yeah them too.
    What about LA Dodgers were once in NYC.
    Wtf is 'Jazz' about Utah hahaha?
    When choosing a team I always look at the oldest teams in any league in North America.
    Bulls, Habs.

    brutal game, man fleury was awesome, thought for sure they were coming back and tying it up.

    tough call for tonight but leaning Bolts... hoping for a high scoring game- need points from both teams.
