i'm beginning to see a trend in the NHL that teams from the "sun belt" (phoenix, tampa bay, florida) are doing well compared to hockey market teams...

i think some of players in calgary don't want to be here, looking at you gaudreau and monihan!!!!! thus they are playing like sh*t.....

the players in non hockey markets are playing so well compared to hockey markets..

there are no media pressure, not like in toronto....also places like tampa bay don't have higher tax brackets compared to montreal, where players have to pay higher taxes....

also free agents, in their NMC, don't want to play in certain hockey markets...just recently the mike stone trade, in his NTMC, had calgary as place not be traded to....signed vegas because the city is sexy and has no media pressure compared to cold, media pressure in calgary....

i know i might be bushed by creating this thread...i would like to see calgary do well as a hockey market however with the reality is that calgary is not a favorable market for players....free agent or non free agents....
