Potential Atlanta NHL Expansion Team Thread

[AtlantaWhaler]

Again, I didn't mean to hijack the thread. I was called out and asked why I had a negative view towards "non-traditional markets" and I answered it was because with the limit on the total number of teams a team in one market means another city can't have one. Then the back and forth ensued.

I don't believe his post was directed at you. Side conversations happen all the time in almost every thread. I think he was pointing to the hypocrisy of the other poster complaining about the thread not staying on topic (even though the posts were about games-themed THRASHERS NIGHT...lol).

It's totally fair for you to respond. The conversation then went where it did. It happens, no apology needed. It's just odd that someone who actively participated in that Hamilton tangent now has gone out of their way to object *twice* to more recent posts discussing information that actually is about: (1) the city of Atlanta, (2) the local public's level of interest in hockey, (3) the novel use of the Thrashers likeness and the reaction it created (4) by an ECHL owner who also happens to be one of the two prospective NHL ownership groups, as all somehow only marginally relevant to potential NHL expansion to Atlanta.

That is some spectacular hair-splitting, with a pretty healthy dose of hypocrisy thrown in. I'm just calling it like I see it. I'm 100% ready to move on from this tit-for-tat.

My last point on this matter.

I had forgotten that the Hamilton sidetrack was in this thread. Personally, i think it was a less of a sidetrack than the Gladiators one. As it at least stayed on the subject of business related to a potential (if only in some peoples' dreams) NHL expansion team whereas the Gladiator sidetrack devolved into people talking about going to the game, posting pictures from the game and talking about the past record of the Gladiators.

That being said, I guess it's fair if you want to condier me a hypocrite.

You got 'called out' for bringing something into the conversation you probably shouldn't have.

In this day and age.... "traditional" and "non-traditional" are almost a meaningless adjective.

The Arizona threads being the de facto example of it.

Now...... where were we????

So now we're going on a tangent about going on a tangent. You can go back and see how it evolved. Someone asked me a question and we went down the rabbit hole, but this is an Atlanta thread so I'll just drop this.

I know how it evolved. So does everyone else here.

It happens.
