commentary...

the former owners of Atlanta Thrashers have sent a letter to their fans,basically saying they tried to find a local owner to keep the Thrashers,in Atlanta... what hooey!!!!!! Atlanta has had two attempts to be in NHL(remember the Atlanta Flames,before they moved to Calgary?),and the fans never came,and the owners did not care,at all... by the way,Winnipeg had the Jets,before they moved to Phoenix(and they are having trouble selling team to a local owner,as of now-lawsuit pending,by the Goldwater Institute,against the City of Glendale,AZ,and the prospective owner),and the problem was the ownership,and a lack of a new arena,in Winnipeg,and not the fan base... recent example:the Sacramento Kings' hunt for a new arena,and the taxpayers basically paying for it... what hooey for that new arena,for Sacramento... the Maloofs are simply bad owners,period!!!!! sorry for the rant...
