Come on Penguins!

PITTSBURGH -- The Penguins moved a step closer to leaving Pittsburgh, declaring on Monday an impasse in their new arena negotiations with state and local leaders and saying they will actively pursue relocation.

The breakdown in arena talks came only three days after Gov. Ed Rendell said he felt an agreement was close. It also increases the possibility the Penguins will be playing in Kansas City next season.

Kansas City has offered its nearly completed Sprint Center to the Penguins rent-free. The Penguins would also gain revenue from development projects around the arena.

I would much rather have a NHL team, say the Penguins, than one of those National Brawl-ball Association thug teams. Hockey is far more exciting than thug-ball and I will support a hockey team, even if it's not the Penguins.
