I want to see Halifax -- my favorite Canadian city -- get an NHL team!

I feel all the cities mentioned by ILA and SMC all are better choices then FL CAROLINA and Nashvile, putting hockey teams in the south was a noble idea but it never took off while a lot of Candians head to FL for the winter as do a lot of seniors from the norther states they are not fans of the FL teams and only go when the home team comes down to Tampa and the locals can care less about hockey, it was a failed experment and the NHL should move to areas when hockey is loved, before i hear from the San Jose Sharks fan the teams in Cal are not really part of the south and the Kings and Sharks all seem to have a decent fan base unlike the above mentioned teams but the Ducks are another story and might be better off relocating and renaming

I definitely agree. The Ducks was a stupid name. It may be appropriate for a kids' hockey team, but it's definitely not a wise selection for the NHL.

When the team first came into existence, they were owned by Disney. They wanted it to coincide with their movies, so they were called the *shudder* Mighty Ducks. The NHL had nothing to do with the name.

Unfortunately for the Leafs, both Buffalo and Carolina won their games. Buffalo beat the Rangers 3-2. With that loss, the Rangers are now only 1 point up on Carolina(New York has 70 points while Carolina has 69).

Toronto is now 6 points behind Carolina and 4 points behind Buffalo.

Thank goodness for Montreal beating Atlanta to keep them behind Toronto(they both have 63 points, but Toronto has more wins).

I am circulating a petition to keep the Bruins from being allowed to return to Boston. In fact, I don't want them to return to the United States. Tonight, they won their 6th game of the 6-game road trip, and they have been eating up their Canadian opponents as they move across the country!

Didn't Toronto beat them the last time they met?
