00:00A billion dollars they want for Quebec to get into the NHL, which I think is absurd.
00:10I mean, I could see 700 million.
00:14They've already charged 500 million for Vegas and Seattle.
00:17Why?
00:18Why a billion dollars?
00:20That makes no sense to me whatsoever.
00:22That's just robbery.
00:23I think that's just, you know, it's just criminal is what it is.
00:28But I think that market should be in the NHL.
00:32Yeah, I think it's time.
00:35I mean, if they're going to add more teams, I think that it's a discussion that needs
00:40to be had is to get Quebec back in the mix.
00:44They've gone back to a couple of other places already.
00:46As far as the billion dollar stuff goes, I mean, that's just typical nowadays, though,
00:50with all these leagues and these owners, right?
00:52They're all pigs.
00:54So it doesn't surprise me whatsoever.
00:56The thing is, is that somebody is going to be willing to pay it, which is why they're
01:00able to throw a number like that out to get it.
01:03And we've been through this a billion times.
01:05They can't go back to Atlanta.
01:07I know that they love that place so much.
01:10I don't know what it is.
01:12They're dying to have hockey work in Atlanta.
01:14It's never going to work.
01:17Stop going to Atlanta.
01:18Stop talking about Atlanta.
01:20I'd rather see them put second teams in other cities before going back to Atlanta.
01:23So just don't waste our time with that.
01:26Listen, no one wants to talk about it, but the reality is it's a hip hop hub.
01:30It's a rap hub.
01:32It's a black city, without a doubt.
01:35The brothers don't like hockey.
01:37That's just all there is to it.
01:39And all the white people live in the sticks.
01:41All the rich white people live 45 minutes away in the sticks.
01:44They tried to move the baseball team out of the city into the sticks because they want
01:49to be around all the rich white people and they want to move that hockey arena out to
01:53the rich white people in the sticks.
01:55I mean, honest to God, how many times do you have to fail and go broke or lose your entire
02:02fan base?
02:03They had 18,000 when they got to Thrashers.
02:05By the time they left, they were drawing six.
02:07I mean, nobody goes.
02:09No one cares.
02:10When you fail at something once, it's one thing.
02:13Twice, that's a trend.
02:15I mean, are you kidding me?
02:16They're going to put it back there again?
02:18I mean, honestly, it's just not meant for it.
02:21It isn't.
02:22It never worked.
02:23It never will.
02:25I'm sorry.
02:27I just don't buy that market for the NHL.
02:30I really don't.
02:34They talk about all these other cities, Kansas City.
02:40You heard Morenzi say Milwaukee, Portland, Portland, oh please, Portland's bad enough
02:44with the NBA.
02:46Quebec makes sense to me.
02:48You'd get more Quebec fans loaded every game and there'd be more Canadian teams that would
02:53matter because they want the Canadian teams to matter in the NHL.
02:57They haven't won one since 94, whatever it is.
03:00Look, what I don't understand is that why is there such a need to already add more teams?
03:09The league is as watered down as it is already.
03:13We just went in the last 10 years to Vegas and Seattle.
03:17Where else do you need to go so desperately that you're missing hockey right now?
03:24It doesn't make any sense.
03:25You can overexpand and get too much.
03:28The NFL is the greatest league in the country for a reason.
03:32They do it right.
03:33They make the most money.
03:34They have the highest ratings.
03:35They have all that.
03:36When was the last time the NFL went to a new place?
03:38They have not expanded in 30 years.
03:41Now look, Cleveland and Houston, they got teams back.
03:45Those cities got teams back.
03:47Those are not what I would consider, I know they were new franchises, but that was them
03:52replacing teams that had left.
03:54The last time they went to other places was Jacksonville and Carolina.
03:57That was the last time that they had it.
03:58And that was 30 years ago at this point.
04:02They're the most successful league in the country.
04:06And you don't see them running with how powerful and how mighty they are and going, we need
04:10to be here.
04:11No, let's add two more teams here.
04:12Let's go get two teams here.
04:14There's no reason for it.
04:15And hockey doesn't need to do it.
