NEW.ERA

It's that time of year... The turkey. These ten year olds can put on a Thanksgiving, and yet I burn my Hungry Man.

The arena is fine, except for the part about how it's not really going to be fine much longer. Geez, does any organization get more blowjobs for less than the Sharks?Arenas and stadiums that are fine (and really don't need to be replaced) are replaced all the time. Lest you believe a place like Turner Field actually needs to be replaced? Fact is the Shark Tank is a fine venue, and the Sharks continue to make bank off of it as it is the only arena in the largest city in the Bay Area (or for 50 miles in any direction), and will continue to do so if it is renovated further. They won't get that kind of sweetheart deal in San Francisco since the Warriors will be too busy paying off their private financing. Speaking of replacing arenas that are worn out pieces of crap however... how's Calgary doing replacing the Saddledome? Terrible. Never going to use public money, which is fair. The Flames have three billionaires in their ownership group. The mayor has gone on record say, you pony up the money for land, and we'll work on the prospects of getting shovels in the ground. Years of rumored designs have come and gone with nothing. The city is one more catastrophic flood from being completely screwed. On the brightside they have narrowed down a couple spots around the city that would be serviceable for a new rink. It's becoming more and more likely that the rink won't be on the stampede grounds. Also, good to be back!

Love you Flakeband!

Canes still draw more.

Nah, Duck Lake or Uranium City.

It's not too late, but it's going to have to happen before the Cup Final is over I think. I mean the Colisée Pepsi is practically ready, just needs some fine tuning, kinda like the MTS Centre this past summer.

I for one love watching The Battle for the Lucky Charms.

I'm not about to go back in the thread and read. This what I feel. If the deal works out, I really hope the Yotes can bring people into watch the games next year, especially being four games away from the Stanley Cup, and I hope their fans realize that there are plenty of other fan bases that currently have teams, or are awaiting franchise that would kill to have their team in the position that the Coyotes work out. The Jets are back, so obviously I am a little more positive that the Yotes will probably end up staying. But the fans better fill those seats next year!

Uh... I commented on the game. Which why I said kinda wrong thread.

KINDA WRONG THREAD. DUMBASS! That was directed to me, not Tank.

I really think right now. The only way that Quebec, Seattle or Markham.... is through expansion. And there probably isn't enough, actually forget probably. I know that the talent isn't there. Even though Bettman would love 32 teams.

Off the market? Bettman expected to announce a tentative deal tomorrow before Game 5, with Greg Jamison.

Or a tweaking of this. Colours obviously first, the logo has some good.

I think for a team like Calgary you couldn't uproot an Alberta WHL team, they'd have to look elsewhere. I mean playing here in Calgary would be the best option, but I doubt that they'd draw very well and we're not big enough to have the Flames, Hitmen and an AHL affiliate. Abbotsford makes no sense just because of the market they play in and they still draw terribly. Best option put the team somewhere in the Pacific Northwest in a market that isn't ready for NHL quite yet, but could possibly support an AHL team. Portland comes to mind, yeah the Winterhawks are there but with the size of their city they could probably support two hockey teams. Especially with two buildings. Unlike more regional possibilities like Lethbridge or Red Deer who aren't nearly large enough and only have one building which barely crack 10,000 seats.
