we need a NHL team in Cleveland...we had teams in the 60s and 70s. Plus we are a hockey town. Our high schools have hockey teams, we have hockey rinks all over the area and we are surrounded by other hockey cities like Columbus, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. The Cleveland/Akron/Youngstown area could support hockey and is close enough for other hockey fans to come thru,

Nah they need to cut teams

I despise drunk drivers too. 6:20 Why do you need to be talking about shoutouts and reports and bartenders. We know. Take a deep breath. Where do you live? Please tell me it's a place with no team but when you start shouting about different teams you care for.the

When u see some of the existing teams coming to your arena and h have zero interest in them, then expansion is not the answer. Contraction is.

NHL can just have both newest professional hockey expansion teams including Cleveland, Ohio & Atlanta!🏙🏙🏙🏙🏙🏙🏟🏟🏟🏟🏟🏟🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒

Baltimore? Not a chance. The market for a team here just isn't here. Also we would need a new arena, and that's been shot down multiple times.

Gary Bettman still thinks that C-A-T spells DOG.

Saskatchewan doesn't have the population for a team

Bettman Mention Cincinnati watch they get an NHL team

Portland Timbers MLS

A team in Hawai would be cool the Honolulu Vulcanos;).

@BluelandErris thank you for that fiancé cheating on you part.

Enjoy that nba championship boston its the last championship the city of boston will enjoy for some time .

Gary Bettman has 32 bosses, and 7 of those bosses are Canadian base, and 42% of all NHL players are Canadian… if Bettman was anti-Canadian, he would have been fired decades ago. One forgets Bettman brought revenue sharing when the Canadian dollar was weak, and Edmonton and Ottawa failed to break even. Edmonton contemplated relocation. Gary Bettman is paid to be the scapegoat of the 32 owners who control the league and Gary Bettman. So Quebec City doesn't have a team for 2 reasons… the owners didn't think Quebec City brought enough to the league in new money and would be financially weak. Winnipeg is losing money with a top team, a tiny arena with 2500 empty seats and one of the wealthy Canadian billionaires as the owner. The second reason is that no legitimate owners are willing to invest long-term. Quebecor has backed off their interest, and the owner is a well-publicized separatist. This doesn't help the image of the other 6 Canadian owners and infringes on Montreal's profits. Right now, no one has shown interest in a team in Quebec City who could afford a team. As for the minor league team selling out every game... They don’t. The Quebec City Ramparts sell only 9000 tickets a game in a 17,000-seat arena, and the tickets are worth $19 a ticket, not $100 a ticket for an NHL game. One needs to sell 41 games at $100 a seat every season, season after season, and not enough people from outside Quebec City can travel to Quebec City on weekdays in Quebec Winters for 2/3 of the NHL games. A round trip from Montreal would be 6 hours, and how many fans would drive 6 hours on a weekday for 28 NHL weekday games? Quebec City is too small, not rich enough, and too isolated (Hamilton has Toronto minutes away), and no deep-pocket owners willing to invest long-term (short-term fans will eat it up ... long-term???) PLUS, Quebec City already buys NHL TV packages, goes to NHL games and buys NHL merchandise, so the NHL makes money off of Quebec City without risking anything.

if they are going to add 4 more teams it should be Milwaukee, Portland, Quebec City, maybe Indianapolis or Hartford. Keep the teams in established hockey markets.

We need the WHA back Hartford Milwaukee Indianapolis Houston Cleveland Cincinnati Quebec City Hamilton Saskatoon Toronto Birmingham San Diego hockey gets stale when it has no competition we need a rival league Hockey was exciting in the 70's when MR Hockey said "it was a good league" players who don't get a chance get a chance. At the end of the WHA they where on par with the NHL. Ignoring these markets are just to there own detriment .

NHL should have a brand-new hockey expansion team in Birmingham, Alabama!⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜🏟🏟🏟🏟🏟🏟🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒

Cleveland might be an option

Non of us will live to see an NHL Mexican expansion, there's 0 interest about hockey down here

So, an East Coast Hockey League 🏒 like it is today?

Looking back, this was easily the most painful series loss to go through as a bruins fan Because unlike 2010 and 2013, Expectations to win the cup this season were astronomical. Saying this team was great was an understatement. It seemed like anytime they were down in any game, they had answers and found ways to win. They had everything anyone could ever want on a team. Superstars, veterans, amazing forward and defensive depth, 2 elite goaltenders. 65-12-5 record, 3-1 series lead, losing game 5 in OT off an embarrassing turnover, losing a back and forth and very winnable game 6, and losing game 7 in OT after leading 3-2 with 1 minute left in the 3rd. Everything that could have went wrong in this series, went worse than wrong. The fact this amazing season ended so abruptly like this, felt like the world had collapsed. Jack Edwards said it best, Hindenburg like ending. 😂 This was without question this team's last great shot at winning another cup. And watching Krejci and Bergy crying before leaving the ice for the final time before retiring was gut wrenching. Like the 2007 patriots, even if they win another cup in the somewhat near future, this season will forever leave a gaping hole in our hearts for what could have been the greatest complete season in NHL History.

Still no NHL expansion teams in Quebec ? 😮 #nhl #canada 🇨🇦🏒

"God" of KC said KC is a "No go" for hockey because Hunt said we don't need hockey in KC. So there is your answer on that.

Bettman dgaf about Canadian teams. He wants Arizona, Atlanta, Houston, and more western US teams possibly Portland and Omaha.

Bs need to look at bigger players Maybe more russian or european players in the mix also They just dont seem to have the durability and speed it takes to win

Same thing every year

Portland Oregon would be sick

I honestly hate this word - choke. They simply lost and were defeated by a better team.

CAROLINA HURRICANES ALREADY GOT DAT MARKET COVERED ALREADY. 40 TEAMS BY 2040. QUEBEC NORIQUES. SASKATOON CARIBOU. HAMILTON TIGERS OR HAMMERS. ARIZONA COYOTES 2.0 ATLANTA THRASHERS.2.0 HOUSTON AEROS OR PUMAS. KANSAS CITY SCOUTS OR MUSTANGS. OMAHA MAMMOTH OR TWISTERS. PORTLAND LUMBERJAX OR PINES. OKLAHOMA OUTLAWS OR GUNSLINGERS. NEW ORLEANS NAVIGATORS. MONTERREY EAGLES. HARTFORD WHALERS OR COLONIALS INSTEAD CAROLINA SAYS NO TO WHALERS.

40 NHL TEAMS BY 2040. 10 TEAMS IN CANADA. OR 9 TEAMS AND 1 IN MEXICO. LIKE THE MONTERREY EAGLES.

SASKATOON CARIBOU AND MONTERREY EAGLES.

No It’s The Hurricanes From Hartford

sprayed him with the ice lol

There will be no new Canadian teams until Bettman is gone.

Houston is not the 4th largest media market. They are the 4th largest city by population. The most recent DMA market rankings had Houston 7th for media market size. Just FYI.

What if one new team is in Saskatoon & another in Monterrey, Mexico with a big ski resort in the only Latin American IIHF country (Arizona native Auston Matthews' heritage) with a traditional hockey-like game pelota purépecha & is only an 8 & 9 hour drive from Houston & Dallas respectively?

When the Canadiens play the Leafs ... or Boston against the Rangers ... the games are "special"! When the Kraken play Nashville... or LV vs Florida, NHL traditionalists are like WTF! 🙄

Stan Kroenke said that he wants a NHL team in San Diego since they are going to be building a fresh state of the art stadium.

Once again it wasn't the fans that hurt hockey in Atlanta it was horrible ownership both times. Atlanta will get an expansion team as far as NC having two teams no chance in hell even though most people still thank the Hurricanes play in Charlotte rather than Raleigh

Lets Go Thrashers!!!!

Wisconsin needs a team so Minnesota can build a rivalry

Too many NHL teams having folded I think the NHL should reconsider expansion. It's a sport that simply doesn't have the level of fan interest as does the 3 other largest professional sports.

Let's get back to the Original Six!! Maybe the First 12! But ditch every NEW team after 1980!

Wow ..no Hartford?

Bring back the Hartford Whalers. Their merch still sells a lot. They had a loyal following and the best logo in NHL history.

If you were going to Omaha, the Demigarch WWarren Buffett would have to pay for it, and he's such a cheapskate that I think it's a nonstarter.

Baltimore is a disaster -- period.

This channel is boring

Greedy Gary Bettman needs more money so he has to expand the NHL which dilutes the talent even more than it is. When is the NHL going to fire Gary Bettman. He has been an incompetent president and is trying to take away fighting.
