alright looking at a map its more like Cranberry. Cali must have stupid traffic
I visited Los Angeles last year, granted the volume of traffic can become quite high, yet it was certainly a pleasure driving in this city. I enjoyed the ability to make a U-turn at most intersections, people seemed to be "on the ball" and not once did I notice an iTard texting on their phone while driving. I have driven plenty in my lifetime and driving in L.A. was certainly one of the best commuting experiences that I have ever had....

Where you live must really suck in terms of commuting then.
I know those ones are farther away. My brother went to stanford so I've been out there. But LA and Anaheim really are like right beside each other as far as cities go. Seriously, the baseball team uses both names
Ya I don't know how the psychology of a sports fan in a city with two teams would work. If they switched it to just Anaheim, I feel like kids growing up in LA would all be Dodgers fans. This way the Angels can double dip in LA while taking everyone in Anaheim. I know its just a name, but if I was a kid growing up there that's how I'd look at it.
It does sound stupid though. The "The Angels" Angels of Anaheim And it encourages people like me to believe they are basically the same city Are any other teams in Anaheim or just the Angels and Ducks?
don't get me started on bay area sports team names:
the (Oakland based) Warriors are moving (back) to San Francisco but the name will not change (San Francisco Warriors 1962-1971 then Golden State Warriors 1971-Present).
the San Francisco 49ers will be moving to Santa Clara with no name change on the horizon.
then you have the quagmire of the Oakland A's wanting to move to San Jose but unable to because they gifted the rights to the region to the San Francisco Giants in 1990.
but nothing is worse than the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Team Mickey Mouse.
the LA Rams used to play there. every few years i have to remind my dad that the LA Rams play in St. Louis these days. it seems that he only paid attention to football from 1984-1990 because the only teams he remembers are the Niners, LA Rams/Raiders and the Houston Oilers.

Golden State Warriors is pretty bad for a state that big

And of course the California/Oakland (Golden) Seals.
And of course the California/Oakland (Golden) Seals.
Yeah, that outfit took the cake. They were legendarily bad. They never had a winning record. Their overall record in their years in Oakland from 1967 -1976 was 182 - 401.
so question for hockey history buffs: what team would be best suited to undertake a tribute to the Seals?
the Dallas Stars (California Golden Seals moved to Cleveland to become the Cleveland Barons in 1976 who then merged with the Minnesota North Stars who of course moved to Dallas).
Paul Martin + Tyler Kennedy for Jamie McGinn + Shane O'Brien
Thoughts?
They already have 7 NHL D under contract (not counting rookies), and why would we trade for a 3rd pairing guy when we have a ton of rookies who need icetime? Also if we're trading with Colorado I'd really really want to see Hejda coming back - even if we had to add more to get it.
But they might have a use for another PMD (I see 4 defensive types there). I'd love to trade them Niskanen (+ if needed) for Hejda. Carry 8 D, dress 7 per night until you figure out who you want to keep.
At the beginning of Summer, Paul Martin's cap was the least attractive part of him being on our team, despite his upside and the possibility that he could bounce back. At this point, his cap hit is a moot point. Let him compete for a spot. Doesn't matter even if he's a solid 6th d-man making $5M. We're no where near the cap anyway.

In addition, we had Michalek who could have been part of a shutdown pair, and had Niskanen replace Martin. Now with Michalek gone we need Martin for this role - at least until someone is acquired or others (likely rookies) step up.

exactly. martin isn't moving until we feel comfortable that both he and Michalek's positions in the top 4 are replaced. I am pretty confident Niskanen and Despres can do it, but I wouldn't move Martin until I actually see it.

Not sure how some can be so comfortable going with either Strait, Lovejoy or Bortuzzo playing full time. Martin had a terrible year, and then the injury rumors came out, let's give the guy a chance before moving him for what, cap space?
