Did Phoenix fans shed tears for Winnipeg? Did Colorado weep for Quebec City? Did Carolina cry for Hartford? Nope. It's unrealistic to expect Winnipeggers/Canadians to feel bad about a market we don't care about. We're just happy to have a team back. A few more: Van Damme's Sudden Death featured the Pens. Lethal Weapon 3 had a game between the Leafs and Kings (for the most part, they switched to generic logoMLB Jerseys when the cops crashed onto the ice). Mystery, Alaska featured the Rangers. The real Mighty Ducks made a cameo in one of their namesake films. Joey Lauren Adams wore nothing but a NFL Jerseys in Chasing Amy (can't remember which team). Mark - it's called empathy. Basic human emotion. Seems to me as though you could use a bit of it. What exactly do you think happens in those post playoff series handshake lines? The loser congratulates the victor, and the winner tells their conquest that they fought hard and gave it their all. Common respect between people. Today sucks for us Thrasher fans, but it is nice to see the joy in the faces of those in Winnipeg who had their team taken from beneath them unfairly 15 years ago. Just find it interesting to note that the Jets final season's attendance averaged about 11k per game. Atlanta's worst season was 13k. (Mind you, league average jumped up 2k since the mid 90s). Anyway, I'm firmly against relocation, I'd rather see Canada NHL Jerseys get teams via expansion. I'm a fan of the Sens and Oilers, both of whom faced difficulties and could've been sent packing to the US. I don't think the league has a bias against Canada. I also think Winnipeg isn't a greater market than Atlanta. I'd argue they're about the same: Winnipeg might have a larger percentage of NBA Jerseys fans, but Atlanta's got a much larger population to draw from..
