    Screw the Ducks.

    All things Disney must die.

    They do have a better chance today than yesterday. Niewendyk will not play for the Devils in game 7.

    sure they can...haven't we argued this before?? if cities like phoenix, charlotte, miami, san jose and atlanta can support an NHL team, so can Houston. it's a corporate game and we have a huge corporate base.

    Karma -

    Last year - Anaheim Angels beat Minnesota Twins in ALCS, win World Seriers

    This year - Anaheim Ducks beat Minnesota Wild in Semis, lose Stanley Cup game 7.

    Hockey Rocks but I doubt Houston would support a team once the new wears off.

    I love to watch them skate with the cup. One of the best moments in pro sports IMO.

    "The monkey knows things that we don't know and see things that we don't see," Duthie said in deference to Maggie's apparently uncanny ability.
    As news of her talent has spread, Maggie has become something of a celebrity monkey. And nowhere is her unique brand of wisdom more popular than in Anaheim, home to the Cinderella story of the Stanley Cup run -- the Mighty Ducks.
    "They love her in Anaheim and they love her around the world," Duthie said. "She's very big."


    NHL predictions spin Monkey to new-found fame

    CTV.ca News Staff

    A furry, crab-eating macaque has become the hockey world's latest hero. Having picked the winners through three rounds of the NHL playoffs, Maggie the Monkey is enjoying new-found fame as the sport's wisest prognosticating primate.
    TSN's James Duthie told Canada AM that the unpredictability of playoff hockey was the real impetus behind adding the furry pundit to its roster of experts
    "We thought it was kind of a farce, so one of our producers says 'why don't we do something random like a monkey spinning a wheel?' "
    And that's what Maggie the monkey does. So TSN drafted the trained monkey -- who normally lives in the zoo at Bowmanville, Ontario -- into the sports networks' broadcast team.
    While TSN convened a typical panel of experts to weigh in with their carefully considered playoff predictions -- who, of course unanimously favoured Detroit -- Maggie did her best spinning a wheel of chance.
    Duthie says her past record had been somewhat mediocre, "but what she did in the first round was pick the Anaheim Mighty Ducks to upset the Wings. Then in the second round... she picked them over the Stars, then again over the Wild."
    All that monkeying around has added up to a so-far flawless record, leaving the experts scratching their heads and turning Maggie into an international star.
    "The monkey knows things that we don't know and see things that we don't see," Duthie said in deference to Maggie's apparently uncanny ability.
    As news of her talent has spread, Maggie has become something of a celebrity monkey. And nowhere is her unique brand of wisdom more popular than in Anaheim, home to the Cinderella story of the Stanley Cup run -- the Mighty Ducks.
    "They love her in Anaheim and they love her around the world," Duthie said. "She's very big."
    So big, in fact, that Maggie has graced the front page of the L.A. Times. She's also made the news everywhere from Australia to Seattle.
    But here in Canada, where patriotic hockey fans' hopes are resting on the shoulders of the Ottawa Senators, Maggie has done little to ingratiate herself.
    She's picked the Devils to best the Senators.
    "So the monkey is actually getting hate mail from Ottawa fans who do not like her because they think it's bad karma," Duthie said.
    He added: "The monkey is a little nervous about game 7 on Friday night."
    :D

    Now that's not true. We care for hockey just as much as we do for soccer. Err, I mean futbol.

    insert, in place of "houston" in your statement above, any of the following:

    dallas (at the time that WAS said in dallas papers)
    san jose
    phoenix
    atlanta
    miami
    tampa bay


    all of these cities have NHL franchises...none have any reason to have a team any more so than Houston does, in terms of supportability.
