Yes hockey fans, the Winnipeg Whiteys. Just because.

Black Moslem Radical Mayor of Atlanta Kasim Reed was gushing last week at finally ejecting the hated Honkies and their White Supremicist sport from Atlanta, the new Nairobi of North America. Jewish Commissioner of the NHL Rabbi Gary Bettman was equally pleased, noting that hockey "had its chance" in Atlanta and deserves to be kicked up north into Honkieland since it was not good enough to draw the interest of the magnificent African residents of Hotlanta.

************************

Final agreement on Atlanta Thrashers' sale to Winnipeg group could be complete this week

Associated Press, Updated: Monday, May 30, 6:35 PM
ATLANTA â€" The Atlanta Thrashers' sale to a group which would move the team to Winnipeg could be complete this week, possibly as early as Tuesday.

The Thrashers' owners are in negotiations with True North Sports and Entertainment, which would relocate the team to Winnipeg.

.The Stanley Cup final between Boston and Vancouver begins on Wednesday. The NHL would prefer the Thrashers' sale is announced on a day there is no hockey.

Still, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Associated Press on Monday there is no strict rule against releasing big news during the final.

"It's not a firm policy as it is in some other sports,"Â￾ Daly said. "I don't know how we would handle if deal is done sometime during the final."Â￾

Daly said he couldn't say if the sale could be announced as soon as Tuesday.

"It's certainly possible something will be finalized this week,"Â￾ he said.

The two sides have been working through complex legal details on the sale and relocation of the team. Thrashers fans' hopes for a late local buyer have not been realized.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said on his weekly radio show on Thursday the inability to find an owner which wants to keep the team in Atlanta is a barrier the league can't overcome.

"It would be one of those head scratchers where you say, ‘Look at all of this great corporate opportunity, look at all of this grass roots hockey, why doesn't somebody want to own a team here?'"Â￾ Bettman said. "And that would be a difficult, but unfortunate situation to be dealing with if it has reached, or does reach that point."Â￾

Bettman was asked if Atlanta would have hopes of having another NHL team if it loses its second franchise. The Flames moved from Atlanta to Calgary in 1980.

"The only time we move is when we don't have a choice, and that typically happens when nobody wants to own a club there anymore,"Â￾ Bettman said. "The prospect of leaving Atlanta isn't something that I'm particularly fond of. So I can't even contemplate the notion of what would happen after that in terms of coming back. We respect the importance of Atlanta as a city. It's a big market, but this is a franchise that's got a problem in that market."Â￾

Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed spoke last week as if losing the Thrashers is a certainty.

"It is going to hurt the city but we will withstand it just fine and we will get through it,"Â￾ Reed said.

Team president Don Waddell said last week there remained some hope for a late development until a sale is made official and approved by the NHL board of governors.

"Ownership still is committed to selling at a greatly reduced price to anyone committed to Atlanta"Â￾ Waddell said.

Reed and the team's lead owners, Michael Gearon Jr. and Bruce Levenson, have said no local buyer has emerged.

Hockey failed in Atlanta twice - the Flames were there before moving to Calgary. i guess bringing those black players to Atlanta didn't work.

Winnipeg is hockey crazy. Their team went to Phoenix, who I believe still own the Jets name. The Coyotes have gone bankrupt and been bailed out by the NHL. I can't see them staying in Arizona for too much longer, Quebec City and Kansas are candidates to get that franchise.

I hate seeing the U.S. teams fail in the South or the West. I like it much better when they do fairly well (ala Tampa, San Jose, Dallas and Nashville), because it shows whites in these areas are taking a keen interest in a predominately white sport. My guess is most hockey fans in these Southern and Western U.S. cities are not the a$$holes we see on TV that wet their pants cheering for these almost all black teams in the NBA and NFL, ala the gay the little sheep we know as the DWF's. Is that not a good thing?

Couple random comments from a real NHL fan (me):

**I'm glad Winnipeg is back. My strong preference would've been, however, if Phoenix had relocated back to Winnipeg. Being in the more 'Hispanic' Glendale area -- well away from the significant, more affluent white population base of Phoenix -- that team has almost no chance to succeed once the city of Glendale stops financing the team...Atlanta did it the right way, they got an expansion team, they did not steal someone else's team....And, in fairness to Atlanta, the team made the playoffs once (and was swept) in something like 11 years. Very few cities, regardless of geographic location,can build a fan base with that glaring lack of success.

**The NHL owns the name 'Jets' and I hope they give it back. Matter of fact, after tacking on a $70 million 'relocation fee, I think Bettman owes the new owners the name and should let them have it for free!...I would LOVE to see the Winnipeg Jets back. If they become the Winnipeg Falcons I will care less about them. No sane person/owner would NOT bring back the name Jets, it means too much to us true hockey fans everywhere, even though the teams only true 'glory days' where in the WHA.

**As I noted months ago, the NHL would let Winnipeg return: 1) Because Bettman is sick of the Canadian media saying he's anti-Canada and 2) because Winnipeg is in the middle of nowhere -- so no other NHL teams will be seriously affected by their return. That is not the case with Quebec and Hamilton. No matter what the Habs say publicly, they probably don't ever want to compete with the Nords again -- they've had the entire province to themselves for 16 years....And we all know Toronto and Buffalo have stabbed Hamilton in the back numerous times. So if Phoenix does move, it will likely be Kansas City or Milwaukee.

**Also, too many Canadian fans (and I like Canadians a lot) blame the U.S. execs for keeping teams away from Canada, but history has repeatedly shown Canadian owners have always tried to keep more teams out:

When the NHL expanded from 6 to 12 teams in the 60's, it was Montreal and Toronto that kept Vancouver out, fearing they'd lose TV revenue....Only when Western Canadians made a big stink about Vancouver not having a team, did the NHL relent and add them in 1970.....In 1979, Vancouver and Montreal got together to stop the WHA merger because they did not want Edmonton, Winnipeg and Quebec stealing their TV money and revenue....only after beer boycotts and some violent protests in Canada, was a second vote allowed -- this time the merger was approved.

I think the "real" problem is that Canada does not use taxpayer money to finance the building and support of sports teams whereas in the usa local govts typically will expend billions of dollars to buy the votes of DWF's.

Thus, as is typical, one group in the usa forces another to finance their hobby. I think this is not allowed by law in Canada (I may be wrong). Canada has other problems but that is not one of them.

The new ownership group of Winnipeg is as rich as it gets. They are the sons of the former publishing magnet Kenneth Thomson. I think at the time of his death he was the 2nd richest Canadian and had a net worth of 2Billion plus... As for the nickname if this was 1911 why not we have the Eskimos, Fighting Irish, Chiefs, Braves and of course the beloved Redskins.....

That stinks another NHL franchise is leaving GA. I remember watching the Flames as a young'ern. I'd been to probably 10 Thrashers games over the years & enjoyed them (especially that nice chilly temp at Phillips Arena during the game). My eldest son & I went to see the Thrashers and Coyotes last season.

Well, we all know that the main problem in Atlanta is that all of the good athletes just play basketball, football, and run short sprints!

So who in enlightened Georgia wants to see those pasty-faced, slow, weak, NHL players when you have the Dawgs to watch?

Here in KC, we're hoping to steal an NHL franchise, quite possibly the Coyotes. Our minor league team in Independence draws exceptionally well, as have the NHL exhibitions that they've had at the Sprint Center the last couple of years. And unlike Thrashen, who boasts about never having been to a major sporting event, I enjoy watching our WHITE athletes tear it up on the ice.

Kansas City had a team in the 70's called the Scouts the team lasted for about 3 or 4 seasons. I think the biggest omissions in the NHL in the US are Milwaukee and Seattle. In Wisconsin hockey is a major sport and Seattle is a rich city that is fairly White, but the city has history of being luke warm to losing teams. Edited by: white is right

Evander Kane: Classless Punk

A signature behavior of Negroes in North America is their insistence on abusing and insulting restaurant personnel (just like they do in any place of business). A related behavior is Black adult's univeral refusal to pay grauity (tip) to anybody, especially a waiter or waitress. So none other than the Great Black Hope in Winnipeg, Evander Holyfield, er, Kane, is doing his part:
