Having a third team in a remote city in Southern Ontario would be a disaster despite what most Canadians seem to think. Consider that the NY metro area has three teams and two of those teams have had attendance issues on a regular basis. Southern Ontario has a similar population but most of that population is in Toronto and Ottawa with the rest dispersed in a large geographical area. Just doesn't make business sense when you consider how many years it took for the Senators to get their financial house in order.

Hey BJS fan, just know that this isles fan wants to set the record straight.. the isles fans didnt go to the games from '97 till Wang bought the team because they were feilding what was a minor league team at the time (with our only true star, Ziggy Palffy) NJ is a stones throw, and i even said that today in a thread on the oil page. No matter What 3 cities, say Tor-Otta-Hamilton you cant hit the amount of population that we have here in the tristate area NY-NJ-Con
We have tons of teams to look over and root for or against, not 3 or 4 CFL teams and 2 or three (if u include the habs) We have the Yanks, Mets, Giants, Jets, Devil worshippers, Rags, Isles, Nets Knicks, and SI Yanks, Brooklyn Cyclones, LI ducks, Liberty, titans (of MILL) Red Bulls, etc
I agree that up in that part of canada there are the Hamilton Tigers? Toronto Argonaughts, Mon Aulouettes, Cans, Leafs, sens and some minor legue hockey and thats it..because that is all they can support there isnt a large population up there like there is in NYC, LI and Jersy
I am really sorry to all Preds fans that read this some people should get their facts straight..and just support their team so that this doesnt happen to them, IE this BJ fan
Islanders fans that I know all love the Preds also and hope that you dont lose ur team to this skum bucket Basille.......keep the faith, look at edm, NYI and the Pens
