Fixed your post

I honestly have a headache reading this thread, like they have the money, no they don't, yes, no, etc.

Hasn't there seemingly always been problems with Jamisons deal?

You know what? Maybe the NHL and NBA could arrange a deal where the Maloofs are owners of the Coyotes. After all, Phoenix is kinda close to Vegas. If they're in charge of them, I could see trades like Mike Smith and Ekman-Larsson to Chicago for say Jamal Mayers and a 7th round pick. Seriously though the Maloofs and this Coyotes situation are huge jokes and hopefully will end soon.

That site also has the Selanne 13 current Jets uniforms. Definitely a counterfeit site. In addition it appears like the Fitzgerald jersey has 2 different shades of red.

Sure maybe Brown got away with the knee in Game 5, but that was all negated with the inexplicable no call on Raffi in the Hawks series.

Has anybody seen counterfeit hats? At the only sports store at the downtown plaza in Sacramento, over 2/3rds of the hats they were selling were counterfeits(very poor quality) for 10-15 bucks. The red Diamondbacks hat they were selling seriously looked like a kid designed the logo.(the "D" snake)

I forgot the cluster:censored: there would be if Winnipeg is in the Southeast and Quebec would be in the Pacific next year if Phoenix moved.

If the team moves, then Glendale can use the arena for concerts etc without having to pay the exorbitant hockey subsidy. I've seen reports that the city could actually make money on the arena if they didn't have to support the Coyotes. Having lived 10 minutes from the arena and based on the number and type of non-Coyotes events that roll through the Jobber, I have a hard time believing that. Unless they make money by simply not turning things on. Most of the higher profile events go on at the Univervisty of Phoenix Stadium, US Airways Arena, and even the Ashley Furninture Pavilion. I don't know how many more of those events would transfer to the Jobber, but I just don't see that. Don't forget the Arena on the Fairgrounds where the Suns used to play. (Though I don't know if they use that for events). Also the next event at Jobing.com isn't till a month and a half(Some skateboarding tour).

The PAC better not expand past 12! The conference needs to retain SOME sort of stability.

Doesn't Buffalo's new owner have a lot of money though Ice Cap?

In late February, who had the Coyotes chances of staying stronger then the Sacramento Kings' chances?

Fixed it for you

I remember getting a jersey from there 10 years, and it was fine(Deutscher eishockey bund).

I gotta be honest, every time I see an Idaho home game on TV (mostly clips). It has the feel of watching an FCS game. Something about the Vandals seems like they don't belong at the highest division. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's the success and popularity of Boise State that makes them look minor in comparison. They do play in the smallest stadium in FBS if I'm not mistaken.

Ah, gotcha. Wasn't 100% sure about it. I had a feeling Glendale wasn't as conservative as other parts of the area.

I think "we close libraries and swimming pools to subsidize a failing sports team" is a blow to civic pride. Or it should be. I don't know. All those teabaggers in the desert really cherry-pick which socialism they like and which socialism they don't like. Sad but true. But are these particular politicians teabagger darlings? I honestly don't know the political scene in Glendale, beyond the car-crash aspects. Arizona is considered one of the most tebagging states so, I'd think at least a few members of the city council adhere to that ideology. Not really a good assumption. That's like assuming everyone in California is a pinko commie super liberal. It's in Maricopa County, Arpaio territory. In the 2008 election, Maricopa voted nearly 55% for McCain. In fact, since 1948, Maricopa hasn't voted for a Democrat. Glednale's congressional representative is Republican Trent Franks. Franks was reelected with nearly 65% of the vote in 2010. In the state congress, a Republican (Linda Gray) represents Glendale. It's safe to say this is a conservative area of a conservative state. I thought Glendale was a part of Democrat Ed Pastor's district, who is one the 2 most liberal congressman from Zona.

What unexpected team is there though this year? The Thrashers weren't totally unexpected. But there's no one else in nearly as dire a situation as they were yet. Watch it be "Les Insulaires"

You might as well change it to the California division instead of Pacific.

I believe that WSU uses those numerals currently.

Out of curiosity, have old Nordique fans became other teams' fans(Montreal, Toronto, etc), or have they just been waiting for their Nords to return?

For fun I posted this in the NFL thread, if the NFL went the NHL route(in their current standings) Western Conference 1. SF 2. DEN 3. OAK 4. SEA 5. AZ 6. SD 7. KC 8. STL Eastern Conference 1. NE 2. NYJ 3. DAL 4. NYG 5. BUF 6. PHI 7. MIA 8. WSH Southern Conference 1. NO 2. HOU 3. ATL 4. TEN 5. CAR 6. TB 7. JAC 8. IND Northern Conference 1. GB 2. BAL 3. PIT 4. DET 5. CHI 6. CIN 7. CLE 8. MIN The 1 seeds would get byes and the 3's would visit the 2's on Wild Card Weekend. The teams with byes would be: 49ers, Patriots, Saints, Packers. The opening games would be: Oakland @ Denver, Dallas @ Jets, Falcons @ Texans, and Steelers @ Ravens. While it wouldn't be as feasible with the NFL, here's what I would do with the schedule: 6 games with the 3 teams that were in your division before, to preserve rivalries.(for example the Niners would play Seattle, Arizona, and St.Louis twice) Then 4 games with the other teams in your new division, but were previously in the other conference(Niners would play Denver, KC, SD, Oakland, and flipping off year after year where they play). 4 more games would be switched off among the 6 other old divisions that would be in the other conferences. The 2 last games would be against the same slot in the other 2 conferences the year before(for example, if the Niners are playing a group in the Eastern conference, they would play the same position teams from the Northern and Southern conferences) Here is what the Niners schedule would be under this scenario for next year: Home: Seattle, Arizona, St. Louis, Denver, Kansas City, Dallas, NY Giants, New Orleans Road: Seattle, Arizona, St. Louis, Oakland, San Diego, Philadelphia, Washington, Green Bay The year after for them would conceivably be(if rankings are the same): Home: Seattle, Arizona, St. Louis, Oakland, San Diego, Green Bay, Minnesota, New England Road: Seattle, Arizona, St. Louis, Denver, Kansas City, Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans The Packers would be for example: Home: Minnesota, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, San Francisco Road: Minnesota, Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Carolina, New England The next year for them would be: Home: Minnesota, Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Arizona, St. Louis, New England Road: Minnesota, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Seattle, New Orleans

I read during the Sharks-Stars recap that Dallas in last in attendance. Didn't think there would be a team lower then Phoenix if it's true.
