	toronto st.pats?

	Great quiz! Regarding the St. Pats... the keyword is franchise. The St. Pats franchise was sold in midseason in February 1927 and became the Maple Leafs.

	@NationalHero: St. Patricks should probably be accepted, but it was the same franchise as the Maple Leafs. @elpjuly4: Very interesting quiz, and good use of the bonus answers feature (I'm a sucker for hockey history quizzes)! Even though some of these franchises are in fact the same (Whalers - hurricanes, e.g.), it was fairly easy to pick up on what you were intending with the quiz. One minor quibble - it won't accept "Blue Jackets" without "Columbus."

	Victoria Cougars? Seattle Metropolitans? There may be others missing.

	The canadiens were the only team for 8 years. I wonder who they played against?

	slynchpod:	Aug 31st, 2010 at 02:54 GMT	3 points
	@coulraphobic123 Neither team was ever in the NHL, so that is probably why the maker did not include them. The Cougars were in the WCHL and Seattle was in the PCHA.

	if you're saying the 'key word' is franchise - the Coyotes 'franchise' is the same as the Jets. It's a good quiz, mostly boils down to semantics.

	alright lets take care of this, st. pats became the leafs. i added a note, go check that out. its the same reason why i have the jets and coyotes and not the st. pats. i fixed the blue jackets one...it wouldve accepted jackets (still does) but i forgot blue jackets hahaha victoria cougars + seattle mets both won the cup...but didnt play in the nhl. i debated that one for a while, and decided to exclude them. i mean, theres a lot of non cup winners that werent in the nhl...the vancouver millionaires being my favorite. ill add these as bonuses.
