Hard to get my Hopes up. Keep hearing we are front runner and nothing seems to happen.

I will be pleasantly surprised if it happens.

Gotta say, I’m surprised they’d even consider Atlanta again. Is there a serious reason they should get a team over QC or KC?

Hockey

The Canes are good but that damn uniform is too ugly to root for

I’ve had NHL hockey for over 25 years in L.A. I enjoy going to the games from time to time, but it’s still about fifth in line for me, as I don’t attend NFL games. If I have a team, it’s the Kings (for now). Didn’t grow up with it, it’s hard to get excited about. Same for Futbol for me.

I was just a bit too young for the WHA Aeros, but I watched the Olympic Miracle on Ice in 1980, I loved the IHL/AHL Aeros (went to several games), and also enjoyed college hockey (Colorado College hockey and Air Force Academy Hockey when I lived in Colorado Springs; saw several games), and U of Alaska-Fairbanks when I lived there, and had a blast at the Washington Capitals game I saw in DC; I still have the Alex Ovechkin jersey that I bought at that game.

For now I’m a Caps fan, but I’ll quickly become a Houston NHL fan when we get a team.

For me, the hierarchy is college football, college basketball, Texans football, Astros baseball, then Caps hockey, in that order.

Dynamo soccer and Rockets basketball are behind.

I had more fun at the NHL game I attended than I had at any Rockets game.

Grew up on the WHA Aeros saw many games. Always liked the Red Wings because of Gordie Howe connection. Also was a Flyers fan.

Would love to have Hockey back. Nothing beats playoff Hockey.

Indeed.

The NHL does have the best playoff.

Even a #8 seed, or an expansion franchise can, and has, won the title.

I can’t think of another pro sports league where that is the case.

I will admit to having more fun watching the Kings vs Clippers V Rockets, unless the Rockets have a really good team.

sweet!

Should we get an NHL franchise, locations for minor league affiliates need to be established.

I suggest Katy’s Merrill Center for an AHL franchise, and Beaumont’s Ford Arena for an ECHL franchise.

Any suggestions?

There must be something to it
