This is funny, RE: Sprus AHL team
Just had to share this,
I signed up for the NHLFA, the NHL Fan Association a while back.
Anyway they did a poll via e-mail yesterday. The topic was should the NHL consider contraction?
The results of the Contraction mini-poll are as follows:
Quote: "Should the NHL contract some teams and if so, which teams should fold?"
Responses - 500 +
Yes - 52%
No - 48%
The most favoured teams to be eliminated were the Ducks (by a wide margin),
the Lightning
and the Panthers.

For those of you not keeping score, the Spurs new AHL team is part owned, and would be the sole AAA farm team of the <drum roll please> Florida Panthers!
I just find it hilarious, that one of the teams voted upon by the members of the NHLFA is the same team that the Spurs are touting as "brining great hockey to South Texas"
I have to go now, I need to change my pants. I wet them I was laughing so hard.

Re: This is funny, RE: Sprus AHL team
very amusing sarge... i've heard some stories about the panthers also... don't understand the "Great hockey" part of their proposal, but you know .... the whole proposal is a bunch of crap
