Seattle DID have a cultural affinity for hockey. The Totems were huge in the 50s and 60s and Seattle was supposed to get an NHL team in '76 and again in '90 but financing fell through and other interests blocked it.TTJ said:
I am a huge hockey fan. But bringing an NHL franchise to Seattle is fucking moronic. The NHL is already way over-expanded. It's failing in half the markets it's in. The NHL season is way too long, the tickets are way too expensive, the talent is way too watered down, and the league is in too many markets that (like Seattle) have no cultural affinity to hockey.Tequilla said:
More pissed at the fact that the NHL will not be in a position to comeTTJ said:Hi there. The NBA can eat a bag of dicks.
The Tbirds had a good following at the Coliseum and even now in Kent they draw decent crowds (the Tips do really well in Everett.)
When I played in men's leagues in the last ten years there were hundreds of teams.
NHL teams are failing in two markets not half of markets. And they would succeed in Arizona if they were in Phoenix or Scotsdale and will be fine in Sunrise now that they have a winner. NHL would do fine here. I said for years they need to take advantage of the potential of a PNW rivalry threesome with Portland and Vancouver but MLS beat them to it with resounding success. -

There are tons of dipshits here that would spend entertainment dollars on losing hockey teams rather than another flat screen or whatever for their house. Just look at the Mariners.

Seattle was a hockey town when the NHL had 6 teams. The Totems were a top minor team and the WHL had playoffs and shit. Vancouver, Oakland, and the rest of the West Coast.TTJ said:

If the NHL had come here in 67 with the Sonics it would still be strong here

Champs in 1917.
1919 was when we (WE!) were going to be champs, but the tournament was cancelled due to the Flu.
First team to bring Lord Stanley's cup south of the border. -
did they have a parade? did our top player ride on the Model T with the cheerleaders? Did he drink Old Grand Dad and throw Mike and Ikes at the crowd?RavennaDawg said:Champs in 1917.

Especially when it hits the young. I never said Seattle was an original 6. Hence the WHL referenceTTJ said:
