Looks like my team is out. I'm bummed, but when all's said and done they made the West finals. Amazing year, pretty much everyone had Chicago taking them out round 1. Career year for Smith and Vrbata, great years for guys like Yandle, Doan, Hanzal, Boedker, etc.

Now we just have to wait and see if they're still in Phoenix next year, or if they're the Vegas/Kansas City/Quebec Coyotes. I would NOT cheer for them if they go to Quebec.

I live in the Kansas City area now.  As much as I love hockey, Kansas City would be a bad idea.  I don't think there is any way this city could support another professional team.

Yeah I agree with you there. I don't really understand why the league tries this hard to make hockey popular in southern USA when the market just isn't there. 

Huh?  Kansas City is not in the south.

Well it's like central, and I meant south as in not North, where the US hockey market is...Mass, NY, Minnesota, Illinois, etc. Anything below this really isn't a hockey market. 

St. Louis, Colorado, Aneheim, San Jose, Dallas, say hello. But the thing is geography and history matter a lot.. Kansas city is just not a traditional hockey market. Dallas, Denver, and St. Louis all support many sports so I think you are generalizing too much. Phoenix is in the fucken Desert. Colorado is in the mountains with and the Denver Pioneers and Colorado College tigers say hello as well.
