Maybe it's just because of the geographical location I'm from.
I grew up watching HNIC basically from its inception. With about a 60/40 split between Leafs games or Habs games.
So the team you grew up with went away? I'll venture a guess and say it was the Jets. Big deal, it happens. They were an expansion team in a medium market. Why did they leave? While I do feel for you, I'd also have to say as a hockey fan to move along and support another team. There's no shame in it. Being from the west (more or less), you must have at least a preference between Calgary or Edmonton. Solid and hard working teams both. Pick one. Stop whining.
