WHITEOUT only makes since when your team is wearing WHITE at home lol . Otherwise your look on tv is supporting the visiting team because this is the NFL ........ I mean nhl
meanwhile, Quebec city stayed faithful to "Build it and they will come..." They built a NHL team worthy arena without a team! It makes you wonder sometimes how certain deals are made. Quebec could certainly support a franchise as the Nordiques who became the Colorado Avalanche when Marcel Aubut decided to make millions, were a super team with a lot of support. Joe Sakic and the Stasnys are legends. Why bother with creating teams in deserts? It is doomed to fail again. Go where it is cold and people have a hockey culture. TV rights have now superseded sport logic. Kalamazoo is next!
GB is so inept, i guarantee you that he will bring the NHL back to Atlanta, a market that failed in the 70’s and in the 21st century, sometime in the next ten years
@@beyond_thebench Actually, the league loves big cities with no existing fans. That's where the revenue is. Why do you think they stuck it out in Phoenix for so long? Why do you think Houston, Atlanta, and Phoenix again will get a team before anywhere else?

Its Bettman, the growth for the game is in the US, not Canada
@@beyond_thebench some growth, bankruptcies and bail outs one after the other...
@@Master_of_Chess_ShortsYep, but he’ll keep doing it

Yup, he’s definitely looking into it
Smaller markets? Phoenix is huge...
A “small” hockey market relates more to interest towards the teams. Less about the actual size of the city
Phoenix is a small hockey market. Plus, Phoenix isn't that huge. It's big but it ain't NY, LA, or Chicago big.

@@irafair3015 Actually, its just on the heels of the cities you mentioned, and growing faster than any of them. Geography is not your strong suit.
The yotes were a failed team, decades ago, decades ... in the 90s, we knew it was in trouble.
Was an uphill battle since the start yup
