It’s an odd one-game…

I'll be honest when I say that watching a city's professional hockey team abandon its market for whatever reasons is hard. I went through it first-hand when the Winnipeg Jets left for the warmer climates of Arizona, and fans in other cities have had that same feeling of loss when their teams left with little they could do to prevent it.
