This is to all those dolts that sign into Calgary Puck and take every pot shot they can when they hear something negative about an American NHL team.

Guess what? There are more hockey fans in the States than there are people in Canada.

Phoenix deserves a team more than Saskatoon, Winnipeg, or Quebec City. Know why? More people and a dollar that won't suddenly only be worth 60 cents.

As for the attendance woes - it's not about "culture". It's about winning. See: Calgary circa 2000.

If you really think Bettman is an evil mastermind who hates Canada... then you would probably be happier on HF boards. Because you aren't sophisticated enough to be able to participate in any meaningful way here.

Rant off.
