Now do Florida. TB has done very well, but it was not always thus.
I'd like to know how you determine a "hockey market", that's all. IMO Phoenix/Tempe just hasn't been given the right shot. Glendale was a bad choice and like others have said, ownership is the issue.
Now, if they can't support a team after all this time, fine. But it's not a reason to celebrate any more than when Winnipeg or Quebec lost their teams.
