When city A doesn't care about the team, there isn't much of a rivalry, so I don't care about the game as much either. If we are playing the Oil or the Nucks, we know they care a lot, so it's easier for me to care as well. I like to feel the tension, the adrenalin rush and yes the agony of defeat as well.
If Phoenix moves to QC, I know their fans care just as I know the Jets fans care. Now I can hate the Jets and hopefully the Nordiques as well. With the Coyotes it's just whatever, ho hum, in fact it's worse than that, it's an insult to the game that a team stays there when it isn't wanted by enough people.
I suppose we could play all the games at one site and watch it on TV and just pick a team, but that wouldn't be very satisfying to me. I like the loyalty and the rivalry.
