An Alaska based team would be cool just for the exoticism of it. The travel would give them significant home ice advantage aswell i guess.

Regarding Houston, they have 600K more residents than Phoenix but close enough proximity to San Antonio and Austin (vs Dallas) to make one of those three the viable host city at least in name.

I could see an SLC team gaining fans from the Avs, Knights, and the Flames. Idaho with the 3rd largest population of Mormons at 500k would love to have their own team to cheer for.

The SLC or Utah:
Tetotalers? Polygamists? No-funners? Arches? CrowdedSkiResorts?

A lot of Mountain Lions / Cougars in the state so that'll be a safe bet.

Yes, I'm bored.

This is terrible news for us.

Dubas gone means new GM probably doesn't want to keep Keefe either. That means they might look at Carbery.

Hands off Carbery. Sign him right now.

Will be funny when Florida wins it all and both Boston's and Toronto's fans will claim they have only lost to the winner.

Love Maine. If my wife wasn’t such a southern girl I’d seriously consider moving there. Awesome weather, tons to do outside, and a great beer scene.
“Awesome weather”?

There is some solace in that….but not much!

Summers are awesome. Normally peaks in the high 70s / low 80s and is one of the more comfortable places during those months. The Spring and Fall months are in the 50s and 60s. Winter can be a bit much but I much more prefer the cold winters in the Northeast to the swampy summers in the Mid-Atlantic.

If you like the heat then yeah it’s not for you. If you like mild summers and if you like cool, crisp fall as the leaves change colors then Maine is top notch.
