Hamilton I could see, but the problem with that is its located between Toronto and Buffalo who have the rights to the surrounding areas. Which I think is part of the reason we have seen previous attempts blocked to move a team there.

As for Markham, I think they would be better off building an arena and trying to attract an ECHL team. Which would be cool to see an ECHL affiliate of the Leafs, AHL afiliate, and the Leafs all in the same market. However even with that its a long shot, because the ECHL will already have the open market of Brampton next year, when the Battalion move out this summer. If they wanted to try for a Canadian franchise again. (Victoria Salmon Kings)

Also like I said in my last post, the best case scenario right now is Pheonix moves to Quebec City, and Winnipeg is moved into the Western Conference. I think that Hamilton would be best considered for expansion along with Seattle. But for right now I believe the league has to work on stabalizing its current franchises before any new markets are brought in.

Alright I just have to say: Blues 6-0 win over Detroit on opening night!
Tarasenko with his first NHL goal on his first shot, and second NHL goal on his second shot! I know there is still a long way to go, and we will see how they stand up to Nashville and Chicago this week who always are a threat. But I do like our start to the season.

The Habs lost. To the leafs. That was embarrassing. But on the plus is was a close game. 2-1. But the refs seemed a little ...off...

Jets lost to a shootout against Boston, but that's a pretty good game

Habs have won their past 2 games 4-1 (against the Panthers on Tuesday and Capitals tonight).

Yay!

Habs have improved to 4-1-0 with their 4-3 win against 'Peggers tonight.
Fun fact, the Habs have won their past 4 games 4-1,4-1,4-3,4-3...

Nuuuu Peg lost D:

Habs lost 5-1 last night to Ottawa... that wasn't pleasant.

LOL

Blues continue to roll on with a win over Columbus yesterday, and hopefully another win against Detroit tonight

Habs beat the leafs 5-2 last night! They're now 7-1-2 in their last 10 games and are 13-4-3 overall. Sitting atop the Eastern Conference with 29 points.
