That's the thing, if Paul Allen called Gary Bettman and said, "Let's put a NHL team in Portland", I'm sure Gary would be on board. However, I don't think Paul Allen wants to go down that road.

It would thrive the first couple seasons because fans will be excited and then a few mediocre seasons and it's a half full arena.

FWIW, Oregon had 60% growth in rec/youth hockey registrations last year...

Does Oregon really need the heartbreak of another team that can't win it all? :peep:

Question, does Portland as a city have enough disposable income for an NHL and NBA team?

I think Portland was going to get a team then this happened:

Man urinates in reservoir, ruins 38M gallons of water

Sorry, shake it off and move on. Not happening.

Comeds, we've been over this. If you use the word "urinate" earlier in the post and then the phrase "shake it off", other posters may link the two, causing an overall sense of discomfort in some and partial arousal in others.

The new team will be known as ...

Wait for it

The Portland Winter Roses.

still a better deal than the Arizona one

Yeah I know, its just when this story bubbled to the surface last year I said that it would be the reason why Portland wasn't going to get a team. I need to stay consistent. I don't mean to give Portland the shaft but while I agree its a better option than Arizona and Miami I still think there are better places to place a team.

Seriously the guy urinated in 38 million gallons of water and they dump it all? Pretty sure the ratio of my drinking water here is probably 10 parts water to 2 parts urine and I turned out fine. Sorta.

Wisconsin needs a team so people around here stop resorting to becoming Blackhawks fans! I keep telling people that's like being a Bears fan or Cubs fan, but folks around here are desperate.
