From the end of WWII....1945 until 1993 with that last Canadian/Canadiennes title, out of 48 years, Canadian teams won 34 out of 48 titles. None in the 27 years since. They HAVE had their chances: Calgary Flames were in the 2004 Finals...lost. Edmonton was in the 2006 Finals....lost. Ottawa was in the 2007 Finals....lost. Vancouver was in the 2011 Finals....lost.

I remember watching teams both Canadian and Northern American teams that were bought out and relocated mainly because of better financial deals particularly: Minnesota North Stars became the Dallas Stars Winnipeg Jets became the Arizona Coyotes Hartford Whalers became the Carolina Hurricanes All of the departing cities put up valiant fights to keep their teams, we can understand that. One payback: Atlanta Thrashers became the Winnipeg Jets..... again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Here is today's Trivia Question. I entitle it "One Horse Towns". This applies to the 4 major Sports: NFL/NHL/NBA/MLB. There are 16 cities in North America that can be considerd "One Horse Towns" in that they have only 1 single major league sports franchise in the 4 major sports located there. Hint: to ease your effort, 6 of them are Canadian NHL teams. Answers. You got them all but one or two I see...there was actually another of these that I missed.: Canadian cities: Vancouver Edmonton Calgary Winnipeg Ottawa Montreal All with NHL teams only (Toronto is only city with NBA/MLB team) US Cities: Portland NBA Sacramento NBA San Diego MLB Salt Lake City NBA San Antonio NBA Oklahoma City NBA Green Bay NFL Columbus NHL Memphis NBA Jacksonville NFL Orlando NBA Raleigh NHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 In the NHL, 8 of the now 32 teams (release the Seattle Kraken) are the only game in town in those cities. 1/4th In the NBA, 7 of the 30 teams are the only game in town. 23.33%. Only San Diego now has just baseball, after the Chargers and Clippers left Only Jacksonville, and the special case of Green Bay have just NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many championships have the Browns won? 3. How many Conference titles have they won? 4. How many times have the Browns finished First? 5. How many times have the Browns played in the postseason? 6. How many coaches have the Browns had in their history...including Stefanski, but not including interim coaches? 7. How many times has a Browns coach won coach of the year. Which coaches? 8. How many times has a Browns player won the MVP award. Which players 9. How many times has a Browns player won the Rookie of the Year? Which players? 10. How many times has a Browns player won Defensive Player of the Year award? Which player? 11.

The Gipper Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Here is Today's Question. It is the other side of the coin from yesterday's. There are 13 US cities that have a team in ALL 4 major sports, NFL/MLB/NHL/NBA. Name them. Answers: SFO Bay area Los Angeles Phoenix Denver Dallas Minnesota Chicago Detroit Miami Washington DC Philadelphia New York Boston .....as noted above, Atlanta at one time had all 4, but no more. I you included Tampa Bay/Orlando as a single market, then they would too. (they are not counted as such....but they are only 85 miles apart. I think the powers that be must think that we in the Cleveland area should get on board with the Columbus Bluejackets for NHL ....but, really, if you are from around here, how many people do you know that root for the Columbus NHL team. I literally know of no one. Its not like the Buckeyes...at all. I don't know what the people of Cincinnati think about it.. About 105 mile distance. Milwaukee is only 92 miles from Chicago.....and they have their own NBA and MLB teams....and rest assured the vast majority of people there are Packer fans even though Green Bay is further away than Chicago. I suspect their attitude to Chicago Blackhawks is about the same as ours is to Columbus. Worse probably, because unlike Cleveland/Columbus, there are legit sports rivalries between Chicago and Milwaukee. It would be like us being asked to root for the Pittsburgh Penguins. NO one here roots for the Pittsburgh hockey teams, except maybe a few queefs from Youngstown maybe. I do know that the owner of the Portland Trailblazers and the Seattle Seahawks are the same: (Estate of late Paul Allen)....and I know that that owner expect each city to root for the other cities team.....but I don't know how in reality that works out. I think Portland may be more interested in their soccer team than the Seattle football team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
