Every time someone brings hockey to Kansas City they end up with egg on their face. We had the Blues back in the 70's and they had to move to St. Louis. In recent years there have been two different minor league teams here and both had to fold. The city will not build them a new arena, so forget it.

once again it comes down to greed. the penguins want this state of the art arena when the one they have is just fine (the same thing could have been said for the steelers/pirates) but until they actually put a team worth watching on the ice...there wont be any money

The current stadium in Pittsburgh is the oldest in the NHL and is also the smallest in the NHL and is too small to produce profits. This year the pens will still lose $7 million even if they operate at near capacity every game and make it to the second round of the playoffs.

THe penguins do put out a good team, its just that they don't play well. How the fuck do the Pirates get a new stadium, yet the Penguins (which have one 2 stanley's in the past 15 years) don't get shit? Hockey>Baseball

I think the only city in Canada that could support a team would be Windsor. (or South Detroit) The only reason teams leave Canada is because of cash

I know they would love a team but when it comes time to talk cash it just isnt there, thats why I believe it would have to be a border town with the US to help with that. There are alot of fans in the Detroit area that would go over there (Windsor) to see hockey
