NHL is coming next!!

[ImTheScientist]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Throwdown]

Gotta find an owner that wants to bring a team to Seattle.

 

[purpleworld]

Bring it on....this is what i want most!

 

[Claden]

Finally :th2thumbs: I need to look into the NHL Center ice package again. See how much for this season.

I dont think Seattle is big enough to support 5 professional teams. Would it just be better to have the 4?

 

[Shaz]

Seattle is big enough to support 5 teams easily

The NHL has been trying to come here since the 60's and Vancouver would love a close rival as well

 

[purpleworld]

I think a team in Seattle could draw fans from hockey crazy Vancouver and Portland....it is not that far of a drive for fans wanting to see the NHL!

1. The mariners don't count.

2. I rather have an nhl team than an nba team.

 

[twisted_steel2]

Exactly, the Mariners don't count. Does anyone actually go to a Mariners game because they are into watching the Mariners play?

I thought people go to the games to drink beer, eat junk food and sit outside on a nice day.

Plenty of room to have the Sonics back and a NHL team. As long as you're not going head to head with the Seahawks, there's room in Seattle.

You wont see the NHL for several years.

Gotta get the arena built first. There just isnt anywhere for them to really play while its getting built. In 5 years I would like to see that new arena filled with both hockey and basketball for over 100 nights a year.

I disagree, but lets say you are right for the sake of your arguement, it's going to suck to be the Mariners then! :th2thumbs:

And I think the root of why they've been fighting the arena deal the whole time. They're afraid of the competition. It would suck to be the 5th most popular team in the city with 5 sports teams.

The Mariners will be as fine as they want to be. I think attendance, merchandise sales, etc. are far more dependent on variables that are directly related to each individual team and organization than what's going on with others.

 

[The Outfield]

Don't care as much for an NHL team and it does seem like it would overwhelm sports fans to suddenly go from 3 teams to 5 teams.

Like I said, it's a bad day for the Seattle Mariners especially the 2 turds that ruin, I mean run that franchise, that being Howard Lincoln and Chuck Armstrong!

We have the Seahawks and the Mariners. Three?

Funny

 

[Wasteland2112]

Bring back the Totems!

 

[Throwdown]

If the mariners played their cards right, the summer could be theirs up until the Seahawks start.

Howard and Chuck are horrible poker players!
