Winnipeg.

I'm happy if this happens, I don't get why certain cities have NHL teams. especially since Atlanta will have lost their second NHL team in the modern era.

It'd be nice if someone from Portland could've done something about buying a team and moving them here. We need something to entertain ourselves during the strike

No clue where the fuck winnipeg is. holla.

Winnipeg needed a team after the Jets abandoned them years ago. Now Hartford needs a team back!

Quebec too.

And while we're at it, Portland.

Are they going to be renamed the Jets? That would be awesome.

That's terrific. Winnipeg deserves a team.

MLB or bust!

Though, the city of Portland will have to wait a LONG time before there's another expansion team (the only way we'd realistically get a team).

 

[santeesioux]

Maybe we'll get a UFL team!

I know it's in Canada, but that's about it.

Portland needs another major league team and it would have been nice to land an NHL squad. Too bad it won't happen for years. The sad thing is that the NHL would probably benefit from contraction. I don't think we'll see a team come to Portland for ages.

Capital of Manitoba. Kind of like the Kansas City (plains, near rivers). Bigger city than Portland, smaller metro area.
