Well, we're splitting hairs here, but the Avs won a championship a year after they relocated from Quebec.

You did not understand what I said. What I meant was a team, whom had already won a championship, moving from their city. Not a team that relocated and won a championship after the fact.

SOLD! NHL dodges one here as this deal got done quickly and got rid of no-money ownership and replaced them without a lot of teeth-grinding and drama. Hurray!

Something about an owner of a Philly team owning the Devils is hilarious to me.

I still think it's better than Ed Snyder/SMG controlling the arena and also the Pens back in those dark days.
