What’s the definition of insanity? Seriously, just give Quebec their team. They’ve suffered long enough.

    I think what is called for here is a reference to Swamp Castle. Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one… stayed up! And that’s what you’re gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands. When it comes to hockey, Atlanta is Swamp Castle.

      At least last time the Thrashers became the Jets. Maybe this time the new Atlanta team will become the Nordiques again or an Atlantic Canada team.

        Atlantic Canada and the Maritimes refer to the same thing right? I’m not from there so I get the terms confused, but I hope to see a Nova Scotia/New Brunswick/ P.E.I. team eventually.

          Maritimes is New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and PEI. Atlantic brings in Newfoundland and Labrador.

          It’s kind of the same thing as the Prairies for Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta vs the West which adds BC.
