Awesome. So I'm listening to the sports station in ATL that's interviewing the head of the Atlanta Spirit about why he said there was an urgency to finding a local investor to keep the team.
His opening sentence "I don't want to cause panic, but we just need to bring attention to this."

Ottawa has had teams withdraw, quit, and relocate numerous times if I remember correctly.
Oh, and Quebec has failed more than once as well.

They also had the other Kostitsyn. You may need to check your sarcasm detector.

Not in the NHL - the Nordiques were the only NHL team in QC. Ottawa's early team was known as the Silver Seven and the Senators before folding in the 30s.
Now the Roughriders, that's another story!
The trip to the dentist today knocked the sarc detector out of sync.

Wasn't there a team called the Quebec Bulldogs in the VERY early years?

Yep, you're right -- just for the 1919-20 season, then five seasons as the Hamilton Tigers. I think that it's safe to say that the early years of the NHL were as fubar as the WHA's existence with teams coming and going.

Cleveland's failed twice at minor league hockey. First the former Muskegon Lumberjacks, (Good move there, Pittsburgh. You still suck.) then the Cleveland Barons, (now the Woostah Sharks).

In the AHL alone:
Baltimore failed three times (Clippers, Skipjacks, Bandits).
Buffalo Bisons failed twice.
Cincinnatti failed three times.
Fredericton, New Brunswick failed twice.
Moncton, New Brunswick failed twice.
New Haven, Connecticut failed three times.
Halifax, Nova Scotia failed three times.
Philadelphia failed four times.
Quebec City, Quebec failed twice.
Springfield, Massachusetts failed twice.
Syracuse failed four times.
Washington, D.C. failed twice.
The IHL, ECHL, WCHL, and other minor pro leagues below would contribute to a much bigger list.
*edit* Cleveland may have failed more than twice. They had the Falcons from 36-37, which changed name to Barons from 37-73. Then came back to the AHL in 2001-06. The IHL Lumberjacks would make it their third failed team. Not much hope for the Lake Erie Monsters to continue.

I remember several of those names/teams from back when I used to go over and catch the Cornwall Aces games (Quebec farm system). The AHL landscape sure has changed a ton since the mid-90's.

I'm not sure how significant it is that Philadelphia has lost AHL teams twice in recent years when those are teams that were there *in addition to* the Flyers, who have generally been supported very well. Bear in mind that the Phantoms played in the same building as the Flyers (or, once the Flyers moved to the new building, in the outdated Spectrum), and that the Firebirds were a hugely inferior competitor during the Flyers' late 1970s Broad Street Bullies heyday. The two teams from before 1950, does that really tell us anything about the current character of the city? I don't think it does.

Whatever happened to the Las Vegas idea? I remember reading about a casino owner who wanted to build an arena for an NHL team. That's a market that would be great to tap into while there is no other professional sports team in town, no?

I think the biggest issue going against Las Vegas is the pro sports are hesistant to want to associate themselves with that city by having a permament franchise there.
