I agree.
ATL is also a bigger market and has more corporate support than PHX
Its unfortunate that the ownership in ATL never gave a crap about this franchise to begin with. Unlike in Phoenix where they tried almost everything even bringing Wayne Gretzky in to help market, nothing worked.
They dont even have as many dedicated hockey fans as there are in ATL.
Yet, for reasons out of control or out of the scope of "fairness" they are the ones being saved.
I assure you, thanks to ASG fighting, the wheels have already been set in motion and are not turning back.
I would much rather Phoenix move by some crazy form of luck, but it ain't happening imo.
Either or, enjoy every game you can like a true hockey fan. In Winnipeg we've already gone through this, so we can feel your pain...
