I heard today that the NHL is getting rid of 4 teams, Tampa Bay Lightning, Atlanta Thrashers, Phoenix Coyotes, and Nashville Predators since no one watches hockey in the south anyway. They're keeping the Dallas Stars since they were once the Minnesota North Stars and people in Minnesota still wear those jersey for some reason or another. The Anaheim Ducks are moving north to Portland, Oregon. The LA Kings are staying because Wayne Gretzky told the NHL not to mess with the Kings or else he'll sick his wife on them. The NHL was about to get rid of the Islanders for obvious reasons, but changed their mind at the last minute thinking that maybe Canada wants them? The Avalanche and the Wild were told to change their names to something with an "S" at the end of it.
Don't forget that they will add octupi wrestling matches in between the 3 periods.
You sir, are a little confused about the reasons the Stars will stay where they belong...
In a related news item the Boston Bruins have decided to rename themselves the Boston Beans, citing a better regional tie in.
"No one has seen a bear in Massachusetts for 50 years, it's about time to recognize that. Boston Baked Beans are what we are known for nationally. Besides bears are a hostile aggressive beast and we wish to project more of a family-friendly atmosphere." -Merwin Q. Focusgroup, assistant to the team's VP of Marketing and Public Relations said in a recent interview.
Other New England sports teams are also considering name changes such as the Boston Celtics to The Boston Brazilians, Boston Red Sox to the Boston Red Rockets, the New England Patriots to the New England Voyeurs and the New England Revolution to the New England You Guys Still Around?

Maybe those bastards in North Carolina will give us back the Whalers!
You want them back? Wow, did they even ever make the playoffs???
(I used to watch their AHL affiliate when they were in Binghamton, NY)
And I hope the OP is serious*, and it isn't an april fool's joke, although the whole "Gretzky" and "making the Avalanche change their names" thing makes me think it is. Gretzky has nothing to do with the Kings anymore, does he? I thought he owned a share of (and coached) the Coyotes...
*They really need to get rid of some teams...

He was awesome, for sure. At least I can go see Tippett when I'm in Dallas (even though he's just coaching...)
Heh...heh. My good Dallasite daughter wears her Stars clothing proudly up in St Paul. :D

Norm Green Sucks!
Ahem. Sorry.
Well, your city council balked over a parking lot. Don't blame Norm for going where the grass is greener, the air is warmer, and the women...well, the women, mmmmmmmmm....
