Currently in St. Louis, grew up in Northern Minnesota. Roloson was acquired from the MN Wild, and I always thought he was a class act & played great for the Wild in their improbable playoff run a few years ago. Pronger played for the Blues up until this season, and I was always impressed with his abilities. The Oilers and the Wild are division rivals, and I loved Edmonton's run from that final playoff spot.
Also, I've always had a personal, perhaps unreasonable, aversion to hockey in these southern cities. The North Stars moving to Dallas really rubbed me the wrong way, as did Tampa Bay winning the Cup. I put Carolina in that same category, and I have a new definition of "fair weather fans".
