  1. Why on earth would they contract when they could just back down and sell to Quebecor and charge a relo fee that would be bigger than any expansion fee that they would collect?

    They wouldn't. The idea that they would contract the Coyotes and then bring in a new expansion team down the line is pretty stupid. Even for the NHL.

    I would have to agree with BringBackTheVet on this one. If the NHL prefers to stick with 30 teams, but can't get Jameson to pony up his money in time, and Quebecor is the next legitimate owner to buy any hockey team. Besides, if they were to contract them, and bring in an expansion team, that could take a couple years. If Quebecor gets charged with a relocation fee, they have the money to do that.

  2. That article offers an intriguing alternative that I haven't seen being discussed here (probably): Folding the Coyotes, and collect an expansion fee from either Quebec City or Seattle (although the SODO Arena has hit a snag.) It obviously makes the NHL more money, and it means that whoever (more than likely Quebec City) can bide their time until their new arena is running.

    I suppose folding the Coyotes would be the most logical thing to do. After all you'd want the "new" Nordiques to start fresh rather than tie them into the history of their long-time WHA rival.

  3. Does anyone know of good substitutes for either NFL official font (Endzone and Orbit)?

    Link to NFL Style Guide. Page 22 and 23.

    I can send you the Endzone fonts...

    If it isn't too much trouble, I would like to have those fonts. gsldragon@sbcglobal.net Thanks!

  4. So let me get this straight - Glendale would rather mortage the very skeleton of their city's infrastructure in order to keep the Phoenix Coyotes around?

    I just don't get it. I don't understand how any Coyotes fan can defend this.

    "Without our hockey team, how will we show the rest of Arizona that Glendale is a virbrant metropolis, the equal of Paris or New York?"

    I'm pretty sure there are other features that Glendale can support and provide for the public and the tourists. But it can't be just a hockey team.

  5. Was in Pro Hockey Life today with WildWing64 and some others, and we noticed that EVERY SINGLE COYOTES JERSEY WAS GONE. Their "wall of jerseys" featured one lonely third jersey, and the shelves featured none.

    Asked the associate, and they "are ordering some more because they sold out"

    Pro Hockey Life never sells out of ANYTHING.

    To top it all off, on the way out the door, one of us was looking at t-shirts, and noticed that there were no Coyotes shirts on the shelf, but they had been replaced by Quebec with the Coyotes shelf sticker still in place. The row read NYR-OTT-PHI-QUE-PIT-STL

    I would love to see this!
