Players go south because Canada only has 6 teams
When half the NHL is Canadian, where else do you go?
Thankfully the Oilers will probably never leave Edmonton as the Oilers are owned by about 34 people!
Some guy offered to buy the Oilers a few weeks ago and got shot down. He was even offering well over the market price and promised to keep the team in Edmonton. The owners weren't interested.
The paper today was heartbreaking. It had a picture of Chris Pronger holding the Stanley Cup with the headline: "What Edmonton hoped to see...last year".
Maybe the Toronto Blue Jays will win the world series 5 years in the row as revenge, or maybe the Raptors will win that Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy or whatever it's called.
