(Although I'm sure it's just from a vocal minority)

I understand the emotion and desire and how exciting the prospect of this happening is, but try to act older than 12 year old kids and lay off the elementary attacks on a franchise that still exist and could still remain. Yeesh, you guys were in the exact situation years ago. It's only bad if it happens to you I guess...

I still hold to the fact that any Canadian city that was to lose their team would be no different. I can guarantee you if we were in Winnipegs' position we would be all over this thing, and you can guarantee that the passion would spread to the lowest common denominator.

Frankly when the few supporters of the current shaky franchise (Coyotes, Thrashers) react to it, it only makes them look silly IMO.
