All this talk about how much Tampa does not "deserve" a championship team is lame, and comes out like petty entitlement. I am a terrible hockey player who can barely skate, and can count on two hands the number of times I have played in pick-up games on the ice. Does this somehow make me less of a fan, or "undeserving" of seeing my favourite NHL team win a championship?

I think it's funny anyone would say canadian fans feel entitled to win after 30 years without a cup.
It's cheezy and contrived putting sports in places where there is no culture for it and setting up a system where they can beat the places that develop the players and have more fan interest and support. And long run I think by doing it the nhl is cutting its own throat. I generally hate wheb ppl use the tern cultural appropriation in the face but this scenario right here gives me pause.
