The problem with the Phoenix market that doesn't get mentioned nearly enough... if all the market needed was a great owner to come in on a white horse, you'd think that with the revolving door of owners that the team had and even with the team being sold by the league itself from the clearance rack that somebody with more business acumen than Bob Kazamakis would have put in an offer. It's not just the market from an infrastructure standpoint. Nobody wants to buy into it and the only reason Meruelo is still involved at this point is that he needs an anchor for his sports betting grift.

That's the rumor. They were already testing black jerseys for TV presentation. https://mayorsmanor.com/2023/12/report-la-kings-exploring-jersey-changes-for-next-season/

Utah Jell-O Moldzz. Still an option.

It really is an odd change in a league that treats a helmet as a logo in and of itself (and not just in the Cleveland Browns fashion).

Apparently the McNall/Pocklington deal was a satanic blood pact that's come due and the Kings are now destined to wilt to the Oilers in the first round until Gretzky's franchise value has truly been repaid.

If the leaks are true, Houston should have just ran with the horn theme. The navy one screams generic Sears catalog from 1987 with the team logo as a sleeve patch and no striping.

Wasatch Mountain Extreme. It's gold, Jerry!

Nah, he just went to go live on a farm and play all day with Pucky the Whale, Thrash, and Badaboum.

Is there a more OITGDNHL situation than forcing a temporary identity on a team just to appease a poverty billionaire into thinking that he can somehow build an arena when he can't even pay taxes or hotel bills? At least they have a logo ready to go.

It's kind of an apples and oranges situation to other fanbases. This wasn't a Colts Mayflower truck in the middle of the night thing. This wasn't even a Thrashers situation. This was the culmination of a multiple-decades long smoldering dumpster fire where if anyone wasn't ultimately expecting this to be the end result they were inhaling the fumes of that final game Wite Out.

A white out to erase a market from existence. How appropriate.

You can't blame the Captain. Alcohol has gotten more expensive over the years.

Someone get the attorneys for the Frank Zappa estate on the phone.

You have to wonder if Bettman has some three-dimensional chess game going in his head that there'll be an influx of talent from all the players wanting to flee the KHL.

But again, compared to the Coliseum it’ll feel like playing like PNC Park.

*Cursor still left on *All Caps *Stock Microsoft font *No denial whatsoever Yep. It's official.

As The Hockey Guy so eloquently stated, the Coyotes are being laundered. A fitting end for an era of fleecing anyone with a dollar in their wallet.

Somehow this appears to have gotten more comical.

Go have dinner at a Johnny Rockets. For old time’s sake.

Finding the Coyotes a forever home they say?

Now the question is… where do the Kings relocate their Frozen Fury preseason game now and how long until yet another team kicks them out. First was Vegas, now (probably) SLC. They’re moving most of the preseason to Quebec in the fall so… you’re telling me there’s a chance?

At least the two Charger alts can get alt helmets now to actually have them historically accurate color-wise.

Considering that the Athletic was reporting on the $#!+ show that is the Coyotes front office three years ago, employees should have seen this coming for a long time and had their resumés updated.

It's disingenuous to use the Coyotes as an example of being a pillar of prudent use of public funds when they were literally evicted from their previous arena for, amongst other things, failing to pay taxes.
