NFT: Penguins' sale falls through
http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2698928
As I watch the Pens play the Isles right now, I can't help but feel excited that this team may somehow, someway find its way to KC. What a great team with a nucleus of young superstars. |

I would MUCH rather have an NBA team, I remember the Kings and had season tix back in the day. Hockey is ok but I can't really follow it like roundball.

If the historically pathetic and financially overmatched Royals, who really have no hope of winning a championship in the near future, have still been able to put 20 or 25k in the seats by stringing a few wins together, why can't an NHL team work here? The Royals haven't folded because people still remember the goodwill they built in the 70s and 80s. People remember what winning felt like and they want to keep the team around to feel that again. I think that the city is dying for a winning sports team to be passionate about. I think that if you put an NHL team here like the Penguins it works. This isn't a lame expansion team with no-name players, or a pathetic team that has been losing forever and washed out of some other town where they couldn't give tickets away. It's a real franchise, with credibility from the ownership right down to a legitimate superstar. People will show up for that. |

The NBA would be better suited for KC because it has a broader appeal. The problem is that KU sucks up all of the basketball energy in the region.
I don't think either (NBA or NHL) would succeed, unless, the Chiefs left and the city were left with the Royals and the Sprint Center team (whichever league.) Now that they are refurbishing Arrowhead (will be one of the oldest stadiums in the NFL before long) the Chiefs aren't leaving. |

Hopefully the Penguins don't leave PA but if they do KC would be an ideal city for them to move. Pittsburgh and KC are opposite sides of the same coin.
I can without any doubt in my mind however tell you this: I've played hockey from pee wee league to ACHA, I think I know more than the average bear about the game. Sidney Crosby is every bit as good as Wayne Gretzky with all things being equal. That kid is a phenom on the Wayne Gretzky/Joe Montana level. |
