I saw that. That wouldve been great. I have always wanted PDX to get a team as an excuse to get into hockey. Love the playoffs but can get get into the whole season

 

[Mediocre Man]

so close. That would have been awesome


But I thought nothing Dwight said was true, so this probably isn't either....right?

I've never followed hockey. But I probably would if PDX had a team.

NHL is the only other major sport I'd like to see in Portland. Years ago there was talk about the Penguins.

Attendance figures per game are on par with the NBA (~15,000-17,000); half the number of games per year reduce the totals.

Soccer is the #1 sport in all the world.

I'll bet CSN would also love to see the NHL. They need programming, bad!

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Nice.

You're not so bad yourself

Paul Allen always let's us down when it comes to the NHL. I know we are lucky to have him as the Blazers owner. However I do blame him as to why there is no NHL or major sports team in PDX.

 

[BlazerBeav]

So Allen was going to buy the Coyotes so that he could then move both teams to Seattle?

The RG was built with hockey in mind...... We almost landed the penguins when he was building it.

McDonald's has sold the most hamburgers, doesn't mean it's good.

MLS = AA baseball in the grand scheme of things.

Comparing a sport to fast food was a terrible analogy. Don't get all bent because the entire world thinks soccer is better than any other sport. Just a fact.

Btw I hate watching soccer

If Paul really wants NHL we would have already had one. Portland has had many chances at the NHL and Paul Allen is always the one who kills the idea.

Oh puck!

Doesn't the vulcans own the rose garden? If that's the case, then why not add more revenue with an NHL team? It would be pretty easy to transform the garden to appease the NHL platform.

We're never going to get a 2nd pro sports team.

Probably not as long as PA is running the show.

You don't need Allen to buy an pro team.

Not sure why it was a horrible anaolgy. Is it because I didn't offer a Wes/Leonard trade proposal with it? Not bent out of shape at all though.

My asseration of the MLS stands.

Exactly....

Yes but you do need Allen to OK to play in the RG.
