Truth & Rumors > NHL

Please make a note...the Stanley Cup is actually taller than Bettman (see above photo). Kind of makes me imagine the winning team picking up Gary and skating around with him over their head around the rink...but I guess only a Sun Belt Team would do that if they were to win again...A second team in Toronto? Excellent idea on several levels. Which is precisely why Bettman continues to disregard it!

I guarantee that the writer of this article is so pro-Toronto that he is blind to his own slights towards his fellow Ontarians. The Toronto Sun is a clown show. I'm sorry, the author may be right in saying Toronto is a more financially responsible choice for those teams, but does the writer have to be so rude and arrogant? This just makes me hate Toronto media even more.

NEWS flash from outside Toronto... Toronto is not the center of the universe! Details to follow.

Here's a tissue............Are you better now? NEWS FLASH from TORONTO......We are the center of the universe!

Here we go with the Toronto Sun again.

Do I think Toronto is better than most of the Sun belt teams? Yes. However a Canadian city currently without a team would be a better choice IMHO.

I don't know. I think a 2nd team in Toronto would do better than some teams right now that are obviously struggling (Phoenix, Tampa, Atlanta, ect.) to get fans in the seats.

Is it me or does the Toronto Sun sound like the Onion after a while?

Too close to midget wrestling for it to happen. :)

Good old toronto sun, How about they get one team first and maybe provide an atmosphere that a player would want to be. I know the 3 last places I would want to play is Toronto, Montreal, then New York.

I don't think you need worry about them ringing your phone off the hook either...

Thank you. I have no idea what I would do without the Toronto Sun.

The NHL would benefit from some new leadership.. Forget adding teams.. Eliminate some!

I am from Toronto. Read my words: THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.
Let's end this bulls--t story now before it gets out of ... oh wait, I forgot, it's Toronto and hockey, this will never end as long as the sport is around.

Toronto probably could sustain a second team, but that doesn't mean it's in the best interest of the NHL. Though, i'd love it if a second team won the cup before the Major Laughs did.

Can you say Winnipeg?

The problem I see is that the new team would always be playing second fiddle to the Leafs. Sort of like the NBA situation in Los Angeles, where the Clippers are always in the Lakers' shadow. Although, given the way the Leafs have played in recent seasons, perhaps THEY have already become the Clippers of the Toronto hockey market...

They wouldn't be second fiddle if they win the Cup before the Leafs. I'll tell you who would really benefit--long-suffering Toronto hockey fans, especially the ones who can't afford a king's ranson to take their families to watch meaningless hockey during the season.

Toronto Sun+made up stories=this story
