    Worst thing there is that tax payers there DON'T EVEN WANT THE TEAM!!! (Sure they paid a lot of money to get the team...but last time I checked, they are losing on average, 20M$ every SINGLE year!)
    The NHL itself ain't better though...They know it won't work but continue trying to get to make money (More than they did for Quebec/Winnipeg when they were moved)

    And as far as I know, QC wants a team again and I believe the city built/is building a new arena there?

    Yup, construction started and it should be done by 2015 (Don't be surprised if they get a team before that, a team could easily survive a few years in the Colisée Pepsi) Markham in Ontario will have it's arena too (It was approved, but I have no idea on the timeline it could take for this one)

    The Buffalo Sabres have fired coach Lindy Ruff as a result of the team's inconsistent start to the season.

    The announcement was made on the team's Twitter account and confirmed by Sabres spokesman Michael Gilbert on Wednesday. Ruff was relieved of his duties shortly after the team held a 90-minute practice, and a day after the Sabres were booed several times by their home fans during a 2-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.

    The Sabres (6-10-1) have gone 4-10-1 since opening the season winning their first two games.

    With a 532-400-151 record, Ruff was the team's winningest coach.

    Yup, and the arena is pretty much step one to get one (Having an "NHL worthy" arena doesn't guarantee an NHL team...but its a good start.)

    Never gonna happen, there's already 2 teams in Ontario and Buffalo isn't all that far away. Plus they are far too small to be able to support a team. Yeah, so they get all excited in year one and sell out the arena but then they suck all year and year two rolls around and nobody goes....just what the league needs.

    Don't underestimate the people of Ontario (Look at the Leafs...1967 and people are still going )

    As sucky as the Leafs are, they are still an Original Six, big difference between that and an expansion team

    They don't have a long term vision (The NHL)...will most likely look at expansions more than moving teams to make profit now (They kept the Coyotes in Phoenix because of the POTENTIAL money they could make at some point...while losing 20M$ every year)

    Look at what happened here in Denver....we got a very good team when the Nordiques came and they then became a great team with the Roy trade. The team was great for years and years and won 2 Stanley Cups (the first one was the first pro championship for the city of Denver even) and now that the team has been bad for a few years, NOBODY goes to the games. The Avalanche are 27th in attendance this year, 23rd last year, 24th the year before, and 27th the year before that. And that's with some good young talent and 2 Stanley Cups.

    An expansion team would fail within 2 years.
