    NHL expansion news

    http://www.tsn.ca/nhl-reiterates-exp...going-1.449399

    Not the first time someone has stated Quebec is a no go and likewise not the first time the League has refuted the speculation. I really wish the NHL would stop this expansion talk nonsense and start looking into relocation.

    The NHL needs more teams as much as Donald Trump needs more self-esteem.

    The same could be said about most Professional Leagues.

    I guess they want in before the Raiders move there, or else nobody would care.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Still a bad move no matter what, but it'll be much worse if/when the NFL comes to town.

    The Coyotes have moved their farm team to Tucson for the upcoming season.

    I love Las Vegas, but folks I'm not there to watch hockey! I mean I realize that a large element of Vegas is also the entertainment and I've seen some good shows there, but I'd rather be trying my hand at bingo at the Gold Coast or playing slots downtown at the Golden Gate or something like that.

    TBH I really think this is all about the NHL getting there first, and it also helped that Foley and the Maloofs (not sure why the NHL would want them involved after the Sacramento Kings issues) seem to be willing to pay $500 million to join the club.

    I can see that with the NFL and the Raiders inching closer to Las Vegas.

    Maybe, but I got to assume that the NHL figures that the Raiders are inbound to Vegas.

    The owner is a wild card. Could be Vegas, L.A., San Antonio, or staying in Oakland.
