    Was there even a chance that they would have moved to Houston?

    They are pretty much doing OK now. I thought they were going to move out after the Chap 11 thing. They are one of the favorites to win the Cup this year.

    I was this close to buying Center Ice this year. If my wife ends up going to other cities to open restaurants like they have planned, I may do it.

    They're opening stores in Colorado Springs, Minnesota and Chicago as far as I know. I think there are more. It's not really the greatest of times for her to be going out of town for weeks at a time, but I'll support it because it's good for her growth in the company.

    I just don't see Houston getting major league hockey in my lifetime. With a new CBA that helps the small market US teams and the 6 Canadian teams, every team is pretty much safe now.
