Hcokey Night In Canada
<view this essay>.... going to be a while before you see another team with people as talented as the former Edmonton Oilers did back in the eighty’s. Why should there be teams in places like Nashville? Or even Anaheim? Also some players are too greedy, or too popular, and their price tags are too high.
