I wonder what the latest status of the offer to purchase the Coyotes is at, I have not heard a word about it in the longest time. My understanding is that if a deal is not done than the team can be relocated by the league wherever they please. How amazing would it be if a year from today we were all talking about the upcoming Jets season! Could happen.  |

Second of all its not that it could happen its seemingly looking more like its GOING to happen. Getting my moose season tickets in a couple weeks right before season starts! Gotta get my first rights! |

There are also of things wrong with the NHL.... Cities like: Pheonix, Atlanta, Columbus, Miami ( Panthers ), Nashville, San Jose,and Carolina should not have a team. In my dreams, this would be what the NHL would look like. Pheonix moving to Winnipeg, becoming the Jets Atlanta moving to Kansas City Columbus moving to Cincinatti or Clevland ( GO BARONS ) Carolina to Hartford, becomng the whalers Nashville moving to Quebec Ciity and San Jose would stay in California, move to Oakland and we can all welcome back the Golden Seals.... dont get me wrong, i like the sharks, but the seals owned. |

Keep Columbus - the fans are there, but they're pissed that they won't win. Nashville's starting to pick up the pace, so keep them too. And DEFINITELY keep the Sharks, they're doing well (plus moving to Oakland would be only an hour's difference, and the arena in SJ is much younger). Here's what I want the NHL to look like: Carolina ---> Hartford Phoenix ---> Winnipeg, where they sign a permanent lease. Atlanta ---> Quebec City Florida ---> Maritimes (Halifax? Moncton?) Tampa Bay ---> Portland Colorado ---> Salt Lake City (Don't know why, but I think SLC would be cool, no pun intended) Dallas ---> Indianapolis (with a hockey-exclusive arena - let's face it, Conseco is called a FIELDHOUSE so it wouldn't be a viable NHL arena) |

Although if they hadn't won the Cup, I wouldn't be surprised if they were in the same position as a few other teams. But I do hope that Hartford gets a team back there, to bring back the rivalry with the Bruins. But the Panthers should go there instead. Although it's tough to ignore that the Avs have struggled at the gate the last 3 years, I wouldn't throw them under the bus and say that they should go back to Quebec City, they had 487 consecutive sellouts so it's a proven market. What's hurting them is likely the economy. I don't think the Stars should move, and even if they should, Minnesota already has the Wild, so what's the point in that? Yeah they've struggled at the gate this year but it's no big deal. WHY THEFUCK WOULD YOU MOVE THE FLAMES, they sell out every game, and Atlanta has the Thrashers and they lose like $12 million a year. Who cares that Calgary only has 1 million people? There are probably 175,000 hockey fans there, way more than in Atlanta. |

I have been watching for any news on the Glendale bond issue. I have seen nothing since the story in the SECOND week of February (10th?) about issuing the bonds "next week". As far as I can tell, they STILL have not issued the bonds. To me this sounds really bizarre, and can't reflect well at all on Glendale's ability to sell the bonds to institutional investors (I wouldn't buy them either!). Does anyone else have any news or information on the bond issue, or lack thereof???

Yes the Wild are struggling with attendance... averaging at 95-99% capacity on most nights!  Anyway the Wild's "struggle" is far better than what MOST sunbelt teams can ever dream of with regards to attendance, and to think the Wild have only gone to the playoffs three times since 2000! At least, unlike before, they are being more honest about the figures regarding how many butts are in the seats each game! Amen! ;D |

Things are getting desperate in Gongdale, Mayor Struggs is resorting to have the "little people" tell the world their sad story of propping up a "thousandaire" as he can't or won't put up any of his own money to buy the team...
Dads claiming to have taught their sons how to howl like a coyote..... Recuperating workers being sent get-well cards by co-workers......does the hilarity ever end in Gongdale?
Guess the little kid at the CofG council meeting wearing the Coyotes jersey will have to resort to watching reruns of PeeWee's Playhouse instead of purchasing a $5 ticket and moving down to the empty ice level seats......

Might wanna start a Phoenix Coyotes playoff odds thread lol. They might have began offering playoff tickets a little early. Right now Im looking athe standings and I dont think they've been updated with tonights results, if Im right then Nashville, Anaheim and Minnesota all sit 2 points away from taking the Coyotes' spot, Nashville and Minnesota both have the same gp while Anaheim has 1 game in hand.

www.thehockeynews.com/articles/39788-Campbell-Coyotes-closing-in-on-move-to-Winnipeg.htmlI can't believe that the NHL would try to leverage a 3 year commitment out of people, as the Winnipeg Free Press indicates, that is beyond any expectation ever put on a franchise, and I don't believe that Gary has a lot of options with Atlanta desperate to sell too... I don't care what they name the team, I just want to be able to watch the highest calibre of hockey in a city with a great hockey tradition.

Wow! MTS adding 2500 seats for $60M? That seems very steep but its worth it and of course has to be done. I know about the S.H.E.D. project because of this site but I thought that was more of a rumor. There are many people on the internet saying "Believe it when you see it" regarding Winnipeg actually getting a team and more than one this week on forums I visit mention how they believe the NHL will never return to Winnipeg and that "Why would the NHL go back to a building with just 15045 when Phoenix has the potential for much more than that. I've read twice now how even with 100% sellouts Winnipeg would rank "just" 24th under the current capacity. I claim because 15,045 is better than 5000 in Glendale. Also, they don't seem to know about the expansion plan (SHED). Suddenly 17,545 doesn't look so bad. This number (instead of 15,045 that would be the smallest in the league) would be good for 22nd in the league ahead of Edmonton, San Jose, Anaheim, Nashville, Boston, Philadelphia, and NYI. Its basically going to be on par with Boston (17565) or Philadelphia 17,380. Now whose claiming "minor leagues" with competition like those cities? I say, case closed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Hockey_League_arenascan't wait until ESPN does a "30 for 30" on Winnipeg getting their team back. Someone's got to make a documentary of "Who says you can't go home" etc. this is a remarkable story of coming full circle. |
