If the penguins leave Pittsburgh no team will replace them, at least in this city.  They don't need and I hope they don't get a new arena, they are a losing team and Mario needs to cut his loses and realize that a new arena is not going to increase attendence or make the team prophitable in this town.  I don't know much else about the subject ;)  Just think they should leave and we should pick up an NBA team instead.

Because, as of right now, the league is not expanding. They must not have had the potential fan base or the money or the interest at the time when the league was initially created/expanded. However, there is hope because David Stern, the NBA Commisioner, came out recently and said that the city of Seattle no longer wants their NBA team. So, it looks as if there will be an NBA franchise up for grabs at some point. St. Louis is a good option. Seems like they have good sports fans there.

WNBA has a couple of old publications from the early days, such as the team history books.. I happen to be a sacramento fan, so I have "The Sacramento Monarchs" and "Team work in Action with the Sacramento Monarchs".  I would tell you to look on websites like Amazon and also on Ebay for the older stuff. You can be team or player specific. I also Have "WNBA: A celebration" which is about the beginning days of all the teams. Also research the college team of your favorite player. I am a fan of Nykesha Sales and know that her coach at Uconn recently released a book which talks about coaching mainly but also Kesha's story,  Lindsey Whalen, and Diana T. book  is not about them but gives good info about them. You might also want to consider joining an internet club, that will give you more recent information. It is run by fans.. but fans often have the inside story and have been following the league for a long time. Good luck. I am hoping that the W does something special for the 10th anniversary!   PS: check  Wikipedia also, some of us fans have posted biographys for our favorite players.

They did not win the league.  Lost on goal difference, but they qualified for Europe next season.  Not bad for a team that were heading for oblivion 2 years ago - Proud\n\nThey are losing their manager to my team as from tonight - Gutted.\n\nHope they get the Shelbourne manager next.\n\nHis new team Dunfermline Athletic won 2-1 yesterday.

I agree. It was fate. Houston was smart putting Ching up for PSO. For Revs, Dempsey would've been a better choice. Noonan missed it badddddd. That game suckd. lol I also heard it might be Dempsey's last Revs game

Yeah I guess they could be real but I don't think they're gonna go all the way.You probably did not know but the Nets used to be an ABA team. When the 8 team NBA was losing money the manager brought the 4 best teams up from the ABA. They were the Nets, Pacers, Clippers, and Super sonics.

I live in Seattle and I've been hoping for an NHL team for years.  But it's true, it would be a financial risk to bring in a hockey team while the NBA team is struggling mightily and may leave or be sold.  In fact, Virginia Anderson the director of the Seattle Center (where Key Arena is) has long been rumored to have deliberately blocked any steps toward bringing the NHL to Seattle.  Some say to quell competition with the Supersonics.  Lame.\n\nBut Seattle has great sports fans and if (and perhaps ONLY if) the Sonics split, the city council would make an effort to bring an an NHL team to town.  We have the WHL's Thunderbirds and those fans, including me, are pretty devout.  And yes, there'd be an instant rivalry with the Canucks.  Gary Bettman knows this.\n\nHuh?  The Kings never won the Stanley Cup.  They were finalists in '93

we've had an absolutely unentertaining, lousy last couple of years. really went south with the blake trade - miller and deadmarsh were great but hardly ever played. yes, much of the last few years was due to high end players getting injured or knocked out completely - but it's worrisome because while they will be well under the salary cap - GM Lombardi doesn't seem to enthused about spending money.\n   perhaps demitra had an attitude problem, but the Kings used to really mean something in this town - i still have my original colors jersey from the days at the Forum - but lately they just seem to be in the shadows and don't appear to even try, and when you consider the owner Phillip Anschutz is a billionaire who won't spend on this team yet makes his fortune from real estate (heavy investor in downtown), lives in Denver and is not even a local or a citizen here and thus probably doesn't care so much - i think he uses the team to promote his real estate interests like Staples Center.\n   Unfortunately, the Kings are probably just a screw that makes bigger things turn for him, and i hope and pray somebody who actually, sincerely cares gets the team away from him and puts it back where it used to be.\n   Hockey exploded in the western US when Gretzky came to Los Angeles not just because of the personality of him but his ability. the whole team responded and the hockey was incredible. it was the classic Los Angeles team made up of a bunch of players trying their hardest. now - it's just unmotivated.

There has been a few rumours (mainly driven by the web) about this, but no official announcements.\n\nIt is clear that he is currently going through a very hard time, having split with his wife (again) and his friend Proof being shot and killed recently, and if reports are to be believed he has pretty much locked himself away and is very depressed.\n\nHowever, in many ways that is to be expected given recent events, and as there has been no official announcement of a retirement I would expect him to be "back in business" when he is good and ready to do so.

Looks like he is out of the league right now....\n\nHigginson's agent, Ed Hayes, said Higginson has been contacted by some teams but has not gotten an offer. Retirement is more probable than possible.

Rumors are starting to heat up about the Answer departing.  Names I've heard include Telfair, Wally Szczerbiak and draft picks.  Still no word yet but everything is under wraps, still.

Well, Vancouver is a  huge city so it has a chance of getting a new frachise to come there. I don't blame their fans for not coming to their games because they sucked at that time too. Seattle Sonics might have to move to another city and Vancouver sounds like a solid option. Other cities have lost a frachise and gotten it back in the past: Charlotte and New Orleans in the NBA. Cleveland in the NFL.

Disappointing to see a Canadian team out of the playoffs, but coming from an Avalanche fan, that's good for me!  Can't really put a finger on what happened to the Canucks this year, started off really well but I think it was a combination of injuries, inconsistent goaltending and Naslund/Morrison/Bertuzzi never really getting going.  I think Crawford's time has come as well as Bertuzzi and possibly Naslund as well.  Will be changes for next year.
