I will always refuse to accept this. You guys can throw all the data and facts you want at me, call me naive, but I think it can be done. I'm not sure how, but where there's a will there's a way lol.
I gotta give Gary credit for bringing a team back to Winnipeg like you mentioned. 20 years ago I didn't think there'd ever be more than 6 Canadian teams again, so to me that in itself is a massive W for Canadian fans. And I agree on the whole he's done been pretty good at his job, although there's obviously things people will be critical about over a 30+ year span as commissioner.
