Backstrom deserved to be in the running but Thomas is deserving for sure. I don't pretend to know the legal issues revolving around the Coyotes, but Canada deserves this team much more than Phoenix. The Toronto area can easily support two teams, much as New York & Chicago can support two baseball teams.

It would be three teams as Buffalo is in play also. That is who the NHL is really trying to protect. Hamilton is at the half-way point of the so-called golden horseshoe around Lake Ontario, with TO and BUFF at the ends. The Sabres rely on Canadian fans from southern Ontario to help fill their seats.

Daily Horoscope for January 1

Cancer

Happy New Year, Cancer! Are you ready to put those resolutions into place? Not quite?! Crustaceans are never quite sure just how much they can get away with and where to draw the line. You have a flair for the dramatic and when you're the narrator, your exploits become deeds that would make a knight proud. Your fans know you're a hero, whatever history might prove. Audacity impresses most people but if you go to far you could cause offence.
