here's my take, and I agree w/ the sentiment of Portland fans past, present and future....
the decision business-wise made first by Ed Anderson in May of 1991, and the similar decision by Ron Cain over a year ago, to remove Portland's franchises from the AHL TO other markets in this league, will always be a source of discontent to our fanbase, whether or not any of you have agreed or not with whatever I've said, replied to, or posted here....
it still hurts our fanbase, to go through 2 relocations in 24 years and it will always be a wound that may never close, fully....
It has personally disillusioned me from following this sport at times not even turning the sport on, even though Boston is the closest NHL City to us, I just feel it's time to clear the air on how I've felt since the relocation by the Pirates to SPR... I'd never thought we'd ever see that option again, as most of our fanbase, may not have understood the business decision Ed made in May 1991, and that, personally, is about the same as to what Cain did to us in May 2015...
thanks for understanding my POV.
