IMO Anaheim and Carolina shouldn't have NHL teams.
And when a city like Raleigh has NHL hockey but Winnipeg doesn't, you know something's wrong.

I'd LOVE for anyone who votes "Yes, they deserve NHL teams" to tell me WHY... but I get the feeling no one will.
Similarily as to how to some ppl scream at me "Pittsburgh deserves to keep the Pens!" - yet give no reason why.

I voted probably not. Anaheim has been around for how long now? Since about 1992? I realize this doesn't justify their existence in the league but it has been what 15 years now so obviously they are making a go of it. Doubt they are making much money (probably losing money each year). Didn't Disney bail out on this team a couple of years ago or so??? but again, new owners with big pockets keep it going.
As for Carolina: Doesn't strike me as an NHL town at all. This is serious Nascar country. They have been fortunate to have had a run at the Stanley cup already and are now again in the semi-finals. Most cities like winners. That always helps. I can't see long term support here if their performance reverts back to mediocrity.
Certainly neither team is deserving of an NHL team more than Winnipeg.

Let me break this down for you guys, but do not take this in any way shape or form as my absolute support for these markets, OK, alright then, I hate the Anaheim Mighty Ducks mainly because I cannot stand their ridiculous name, a name like that has no place in professional sports period, now having said that, Anaheim........ does it deserve a hockey team, Well let's see, Would anyone ever question does Los Angelos deserve the Kings? I think the answer is NO, then why does the city of Anaheim not also deserve one, afterall they are to Los Angelos, ,what St.Vital is to Winnipeg, so of the 2 markets I think Anaheim is at least an accceptable one provided they continue to support the team.
Now as for Carolina, that may not be in anyone's opinion a traditional or suitable hockey market, but of the fans that do show up for a game down there you cannot fault them for falling a few seats short of a sellout every game, after all the option of hockey was brought to them, NOT SOLICITED, the blame lies with the bright ownership, the same one's that decided to try to break into a market were if you don't go home with a chick at the end of the night, their own sister will do just fine thank you very much!
Yes I personally would like to see both team relocated but given a choice, Hands Down Carolina has to go, I'm telling you right now if they ever went back to Hartford, that would be my team until the Jets came back, Order needs to be restored here dammit!
Anaheim , Yes reluctantly if they changed their name and only because The Kings present a natural rivalry for them!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeet Caroooooooooline, you gotta go!
The Whalers are Dead, The Whalers are Dead, Long Live the Whalers!

That made no sense whatsoever. Have you been drinking? This guy seems like a real ignorant hill billy. Get out of our forum and go move that truck from your lawn. Get rid of that hound dog too while your at it. And for god sakes, what is with you people from the south and toothpicks? Even when there's nothing stuck in your teeth, you always have them, and I ask you why?

Did Winnipeg deserve a team?. Does Anaheim-Washington deserve a team?
Stupid question!
