More power to those of you who are fans of San Jose, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Phoenix, Dallas, and, for that matter, Florida, Carolina, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, and Washington, but, I mean, really? Hockey in Florida? Hockey in any of those places?

Okay, I'm done venting for now. Long live the original 6 plus a few!

For the most part i agree a hundred percent but i can see the LA KINGS remaining in the NHL as they were part of the first expansion in 67 and the Captials can remain also as Maryland is a northern state and gets frozen lakes and snow but the rest of those southren states should fold or relocate to a more friendly hockey areas having lived in FL the fans there are more in to football, WWE smackdowns and monster truck pulls and hockey means nothing to them unless there team is deep in the playoffs
