Still to this day have no clue why they did not go to Charlotte. They could not be further away from the bulk of the states fans.

It wasn't the north stars chances of staying in MN it was greens chances of staying!

The Islanders' 19 straight playoff series wins. To do that you have to win 4 Cups in a row - and get back to the Finals in the 5th year as well. Can that be repeated in what is now a cap league? I doubt it.

Its the best sports game ever period

Green fabricated a conspiracy to move the North Stars. The truth is the Minnesota Legislature wouldn’t approve the money to upgrade the Metropolitan Sports Center.

1981 Stanley Cup finals they lost in five.

It also didn't help that Atlanta Spirit's stipulation for selling the team was that they couldn't play at Philips Arena. They basically made it impossible for the Thrashers to stay in Atlanta.

Fuck n0rm green

The North Stars white home jerseys to me were the best looking jerseys ever, and I'm a Habs fan.

Your Barry Gibb joke made me instantly subscribe. Keep up rhe good work.

The seals were the reason I became a RED WING fan. I grew up in the bay area and the team was so bad, it wasn't till I saw Gordie Howe play that I knew how the game was supposed to be played.

So in layman’s terms Buffalo lost their basketball team for the same reason every city loses their team greed and an unwillingness to improve the situation

Too much wrestling for the football fans. Too much football for the wrestling fans.

On the one hand, I'm sad Montreal lost their team, but on the other I'm from DC and love my Nats. Hope MLB makes it right one day and gives Montreal an expansion team.

Too bad the city of Houston didn't get the same treatment as the city of Cleveland

you should do a colorado hockey rockies video

Love your videos. I went to the Olympic stadium a few times to see the Expos and it is a terrible stadium for baseball. Wherever you are seated, you always feel like you are far from the game. We definitely would need a new stadium before getting a team back here.

Still rock my Whalers Merch! Went to about 40 games in my childhood. Even remember the blind lady with the cowbell on, and she shook it every-time the Whalers Scored! #Hartford

Answer: they moved to Oklahoma City.

I live in Montreal and we loved our baseball team. We've lost it because of greed and corruption, thats it! I prefer not to speak of my mind….

The California Seals didn't change their name to the Oakland Seals; The Oakland Golden Seals changed their name to the California Seals.

P

Today I learned the Browns fired the man they are named after.

All sports owners in Charlotte are worse not just George Shinn. Jerry Richardson and David Tepper in the Panthers as well.

8:13 Black Mamba in Charlotte would have been amazing instead of being with the Lakers!

It's weird cuz the bears didn't even have their own stadium then.. they played at Wrigley Field not soldiers field then.

13:20 Swen Nater (2nd in rebounds in Braves/Clippers history)

The spos leaving was one of the worst injustices to modern baseball ever known.

The wild should have been the north stars and Dallas should have been forced to choose a new name

It's an over-rated dump with bad sight lines, horrible facilities, and narrow seats, but people confuse old with good.

1:09 One of the most bad ass sports coats in history!!!

Interesting you see the 75'-95' as the Seattle skyline with a yellow basketball as the backdrop. I always saw it as Seattle inside a yellow basketball globe.

Only the baddest bitches go to Fenway park to watch Lana del rey

What I remember, when I was 10 years old my Dad took me to the "new" Madison Square Garden during the 1967-1968 season (the first year of expansion) to see the New York Rangers play a new team, the Seals, who were called the Oakland Seals at that time. I remember. It was November, 1967, and the Oakland Seals lost 5 to 3. They changed their name to the California Golden Seals for the 1970-1971 season.

Two things stimulated hockey in the U.S. which in my opinion saved the NHL from almost certain collapse. The merger with the WHA, which added additional talent to the league and the rise of the Philly Flyers with their rough & tumble style becoming a Stanley Cup winner 2 straight years. Those things at least in the northeast area of the U.S. were enough to generate every youth interest in hockey, creating street hockey teams in neighborhoods and stimulating nationwide interest. The Flyers beating the Russians touring team didn't hurt either. Hockey in the U.S. got an additional boost in the 80's when the U.S. Olympic team won the gold medal.

Yeah yeah As a life long Redsox fan i can say i want something like Camden yards The ownership is basically profiting off of a museum They don't care about building a winning franchise because they're capitalists They can make money off the novelty Plus you WAY OVERPAY for terrible seats -- too small, some don't face the field, some face a huge beam that you can stare at for 9 innings

My first game was watching my SEALS skate to a 2-2 tie against the red wings.

Minnesota's loss was DFW's gain. Everyone blames the owner when he wants to move but it always seems to come down to wanting better facilities and stronger community support, which means more money in his pocket. As a baseball comparison, the Oakland A's will be finally leaving a place that simply cannot support major league sports, for the exact same reasons.

I feel for the city of Hartford, I lost my Rams in 1994, I was ten and I cried. When they returned home I cried. Stay strong Hartford the Whalers will return someday, keep your hopes alive.

This event cut the cord of “fandom” for me. That has actually been a good thing. Most NFL owners are ego-maniac, borderline supervillains. All professional sports have a certain degree of corruption. We will see how much worse things get now that gambling is everywhere. It’s entertainment, nothing more.

I saw them play the Islanders in 1973.

During the mid-70s -- I think 1973 or 1974 -- I was on an Eastern Canada trip and, during a couple days in Montreal in August, going to see a twi-night double-header at Jarry Park. It was a delightful, intimate setting for a ball game. But it was cold. Having only a light summer jacket, I was freezing by the middle of the second game. But I couldn't leave - the pitcher for visiting team (Burt Hooton for the Cubs) was taking a no-hitter into the 7th inning. Finally, in the 7th, someone got a hit for the Expos, and I got to go so someplace warmer. A memorable experience, nevertheless.

Unfortunately, the NBA will never return to Buffalo. The market is too small to support 3 fall/winter major sports. Once the population dropped when the steel mills closed, it was doomed anyway.

Thats in Canada eh?

I detest hockey.

11:02 that CEO would still be in prison He has only served 19 years and has 6 years left

The narrator forgot to mention that the Atlanta Hawks were in St Louis from 1955-68.

Love how these classic hockey players didn't wear helmets. Those all wild wild West. Some watch just see a hockey fist fight

So glad you finally did the California Golden Seals!

apparently some were semi pro.
