man, what are you supposed to be on ritalin or something?


johnnyc makes a good case, and I think the 1,000 000 pop number is reasonable, after 1,000 000 is a midsize city by NA standards. Fact is we don't know if Winnipeg could survive in today's nhl, but I do know this: Winnipeg would do a hell of a lot better than teams based in Florida, California and the fuckin' middle of Arizona.
