Then I suggest you re-watch the replay and keep a close eye on the stick. It's really really clear that, when it hits the back of the Draisatl's leg, the blade is flat.

Will they have a lucky loonie under centre ice though?
As an English guy who has grown up under a different sport system I hate that north American sports teams can just be taken away from the fans and plonked in a different city. Maybe because I've been a football/soccer season ticket holder at my local team (in the third tier) who play a few miles from where I grew up and who are massively in the shadow of the other big London teams in the area with significantly lower attendance, but we still go on.

I know a lot of people on this board wanted this move. I invested a lot of income over the years going to see the Leafs and other teams play the Yotes. I had some really good times and am sad to see the franchise go. I don't think the ownership group was paying there bills. Pity, as another group may have secured the Loop site and it would have worked there. Salt Lake is one weird place

This was the beginning of the end. Less than a year later the team is moving to Utah. The Tempe site and proposal was great in my opinion and was going to be funded entirely with private money. Citizens voted no.

That would be awesome.
Having read about this on TSN this seems to be expansion by stealth, with a guaranteed Arizona expansion team if a new arena is built within 5 years.
