As a Chicagoan, I often wondered why Milwaukee doesn't have an NHL team. What a rivalry between Chicago and Milwaukee it would be! The market is certainly there (Milwaukee isn't exactly a "stop in the road").  And Wisconsin is certainly a hocky State. Just wondering.

Am an old-timer. Knew Hockey from the 60s' and on. I Remember the "Halcyon" days of hockey. No helmets (except Stan Mikita, Chicago) --- you could actually see the players' face and hair; no need for Names and numbers on their backs so that you knew who they were. A few goalies who didn't wear masks. Just wonder if anyone else thinks the "talent" has been "watered-down" due to (unbelievable) expansion? Hockey in Florida? Never thought I'd live to see the day. No disrecpect to FL hockey fans. My Winter home is in Cocoa Beach.

Does anyone think that the Hawks will win their third Stanley Cup.?
