Gary Bettman keeps putting NHL teams in markets where hockey isn’t big, saying it will “grow the game.” But Atlanta showed you can’t force a city to care about hockey. Buffalo is the counterexample: a smaller market with a fan base that loves the Sabres and makes the building electric. Wisconsin already breathes hockey, too. Wisconsin is a much bigger hockey state than baseball and the environment of the Milwaukee Brewers, imagine what it would be like in the NHL playoffs?! If the goal is to grow the game, put a team where the passion is already there and let that passion show the rest of the country what hockey can be.
