Hansen is finally being smart about this whole thing. Get a NHL team first then see if the NBA will ever come back to Seattle.

Yes, exactly. Even though he couldn't care less about hockey, it could get the arena built, which in turn would lead to the NBA returning to Seattle. And getting Russell Wilson on board was a smart move.

Seattle may be the only American city the NBA would expand to.  The NHL would expand to Seattle as soon as a viable arena is built.  If an arena is actually built, it's only a matter of time for both leagues.

Franchise record 10 wins in a row after putting up 7 goals against the Blue Shirts and winning 7-4. That is impressive as hell beating 2 of the top 4 teams in the East on back to back nights on the road. Incredible run.

I'll give them credit. We'll see how they do in January with their schedule. Are they a top team? We'll find out...

With the San Diego Chargers moving to LA, that means San Diego is the biggest city with only a single pro team.  There is a lot of corporate dollars that wants more.  Wouldn't be surprised if San Diego investors get serious about an NHL team.  Just an new arena would need to be built, and San Diego could jump ahead of Seattle for an NHL team.

Look for Spanos to rename the team as Southern California, rather than Los Angeles.  An LA name would totally irk remaining San Diego fans, who can drive to the 2+ billion Inglewood Rams Stadium for games.

Next year there will be 31 NHL teams.  8 in the Metro, 8 in the Atlantic, 8 in the Pacific(with Las Vegas), and 7 in the Central.  Finding a team for the Central Division would be the next natural choice to even everything up.  Sure San Diego is an option, but if they got an NHL franchise, than Denver would most likely have to move over to the Central.

The York Islanders moved from Nassau County to Brooklyn and lost a TON of their season-ticket holders - and that's only about an hour away.  I don't see many folks in San Diego making the 2.5 hour drive north (with no traffic) to LA eight times a year.

Avs are in the central, move the Oilers and Flames to the central if Seattle or any other team is added West of Colorado.

Denver's already in the central division.

Brother in law is from Nassau County.  He was not pleased with that move.

:blink:

The Los Angeles Chargers of Anaheim?
The California Chargers of Anaheim? 
The Anaheim Chargers? 

 

(The more mature portion of the crowd will get the joke.)

Well that'd didn't take long.  Are the Chargers going to lose the yellow in their color scheme and adopt the old LA Rams blue and white only?

This logo looks like the LA Dodgers and Tampa Bay Lightning got together and had a baby.  :lol:

REALLY?  Spanos called the team the "Los Angeles Chargers" in his announcement letter!

Harry Potter and the Avengers fit in there somehow as well.
