According to various media outlets (Yahoo! Sports, Fox Sports Net, ESPN), at a time when no stick-wielding skaters are taking to the ice, some cities are reportedly bidding for an expansion. Yahoo! Sports reported that Seattle was vying for a team, reaching the ever coveted coffee-drinking hipster niche whose disposable income includes whatever they find in their couches and/or whatever their parents send them. Fox Sports Net stated that this team would be called the "Seattle Sasquatch", which either means that this team will rarely be seen in the playoffs (so Toronto might be moving), or the team will be comprised solely of southern Italian hockey players, or FSN got it wrong and the WNBA has really run out of names for teams. ESPN's findings included that there may indeed be a game called hockey played somewhere in the world.
I do think there are many other cities far more deserving of NHL games (like the current 29 cities hosting teams). Here's a brief look at a few:
Quebec - This would help with Gary Bettman's strategy to add a pro winter sports team to Canada once every 20 years.
Kansas City - They would be finally be one team closer to being able to say "We suck at all pro sports."
New York - They've been vying for a second team ever since 1993 when the Islanders suddenly stopped playing there.
I wonder if I can charge the NHL owners for my therapy sessions or if that would go straight to the players as a "hockey related cost".
