Thrashed: An Atlanta Hockey Story

The Arizona Coyotes venture in Glendale has been a literal money pit: Tens of millions of dollars lost by the Coyotes, the NHL, and the city of Glendale over years of futility and arguments. After long struggling to find footing, Glendale is booting the Coyotes out of their city after next year. The potential of them moving (again) is very real, but in this situation, I think it's best to revisit the last team that moved in the NHL: The Atlanta Thrashers. In 1999, there was optimism for hockey in Atlanta: Their first team in the Flames had fizzled out, but things were different this time. Yes, they were quite different. This video will explain why; and perhaps help us understand that the Thrashers never had a chance in the first place, due to the team, ownership, and the NHL itself.
