Round One: The Atlanta Flames
In the early 70s, Atlanta decided it wanted a piece of the hockey action. Enter the Atlanta Flames. Named after a blazing ball of fire, you'd think they'd set the ice ablaze with their skill. Nope. While they had a few hot streaks, the Flames eventually felt the cold shoulder of low attendance and decided to pack their bags for Calgary. Talk about a cold breakup!
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
Round Two: The Atlanta Thrashers
Undeterred, Atlanta gave hockey another shot with the Thrashers in 1999. These guys showed some promise, even making the playoffs once. But alas, the Thrashers couldn't quite find their groove and eventually flew the coop to Winnipeg, becoming the Jets. Ouch, another heartbreak for Atlanta.
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
So, How Many NHL Teams Has Atlanta Had?
Let's count 'em. We've got the Flames and the Thrashers, which makes a grand total of two NHL teams for Atlanta. Two teams, two heartbreaks. You'd think they'd give up on hockey by now, but rumors of a third team are swirling. Maybe Atlanta's third time will be the charm? Or maybe they should stick to peach cobbler.
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
