www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/118439684.htmlRUMOUR ALERT AHEAD ;D Each week commenter Clarence Swamptown sends us the UNVARNISHED TRUTH according to him, we clean it up to avoid trouble, and you still laugh. Let's try it again, shall we? Clarence: ---------------- A few months ago I offered a rant on the Minnesota Wild, and presented a scenario for how our local NHL club could become slightly more watchable. My conjectured scenario involved the Atlanta Thrashers relocating to Winnipeg and creating a domino-effect divisional realignment that would put away games back in our time zone and reunite Minnesota with our old Norris Division rivals. Those Atlanta-to-Winnipeg rumors have been around for years, and they are usually debunked as quickly as they start. More recently, the latest gossip actually has a different financially struggling team - the Phoenix Coyotes - moving to Winnipeg. Obviously none of these rumors have ever been confirmed. In a Clearance Clarence exclusive, I am here to tell you that before the end of the NHL season the Atlanta Thrashers will move to Winnipeg. The team will be sold to Canadian media conglomerate and play next season in the MTS Centre. It’s all over but the shouting, and minor paperwork. I will not reveal my sources. Even if Russo is all Clarence, who are your sources!?!! I’ll go all Woodward and Bernstein on his {redacted} and clam up. Just know that this information is as solid as any rumor-confirmation-from-a- lightweight-semi-anonymous-weekly-guest-post-blog-commenter can be. That and $8.50 will get you a premium beer at the Xcel Energy Center.

I was just about to post this myself, then refreshed and saw it.
Complete unsubstantiated rumour.... however, you'd have to think it at least would add some rationale as to why the Phoenix saga is STILL going on.

Before the end of the NHL season?
I'm guessing he's talking about the sale of the franchise, not actual relocation.

Agreed, it smells like unadulterated bullplop. That being said we need some form of distraction right now, and with some of the recent goings on I wouldn't put it past all involved that there is some kernel of truth to this.

I might be getting this mixed up, but I think this is from Michael Rand, who "is an assistant sports editor mainly responsible for coverage of high school sports" in Minnesota.

This is too fkd up,Ii just dont know what to believe. I was in the washroom at the Oiler game vs the Coyotes on Thursday and this guy in there has a coyotes jersey on, so I ask him are you from the Phoenix area? he replies with a short no, So I ask him are you still going to chear for them in Winnipeg next year? He says yup my cousin is Jason Labarbera and you are right, they are moving back there next year. I asked him if that was a sure thing and he said yup then kind of hesitated and said well 95% He had a Lababera autographed jersey on and said that he (dude in the washroom) would be pumped about it and that his cousin would also be cool with it. I almost jizzed in my pants right there!

I almost jizzed in my pants right there! So, were you finished pissing when you almost jizzed in your pants? or were you pissing your pants that whole time? How drunk were you? Is it possible that you were drunk enough to forget to un-do your pants during this conversation? Now I have this mental image of a drunk jets fan, talking to a not so drunk Coyotes fan, well pissing himself.
