Does the math only go up to pre-Algebra in those public schools? Holy cow.

If it ended up being this hard for a Nick on ice event, imagine all the pain-in-the-#ss efforts needed to bring in a Disney production.

Fixed it.

For 's sake, don't derail something so beautiful with pointless political crap. Yeah, shouldn't have drawn that card. Just trying to make a point of the last time I witnessed a public town-meeting with so much madness. And make sure there's no open hole on top. And also make sure there's no sandbox escape route.

Holy crap. So much awfulness and comedy in this meeting tonight. Is this a closet-TEA Party meeting?

Because it's not 12 years ago? Well, there is an "Alliance" (Bettman and all involved in Glendale/Phoenix).

This is the most "America" thing you could ever see. The only thing that can make this more American is some obese male with a bald eagle tattoo, driving up with his Hummer decked out in military stickers, cradling his McDonald's combo meal, holstering a M1911 on his side, and praising the Lord for the Coyotes.

OK, given all that has unfolded at Bettman's Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey clown college (er...um...I mean, this meeting tonight), can we send this board to the Goldmine?

Meh. Arizona is basically Florida-west, so what can they do for me?

They should have invoked either Five Guys or In-and-Out for a more effective argument.

At this point, it was a given that Chicago gear would be more popular than their own. Nothing really to salvate on.

"I moved to Glendale by choice... ....because the Coyotes moved here" oh lord So something which was forced gave her a choice in moving? Like I said, what in blue hell is in their tap water???

Weren't we told at a young age that double negatives were bad in the English language?

Bettman would more likely be the Monorail Salesman What about us brain-dead slobs? You'll be given cushy jobs! (on Glendale City Council) So using this logic, which NHL cities are Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook?

Why would they invoke the firefighters? And which ones did they invoke. Invoking Glendale's is a bad move because they'll take even bigger cuts WITH the team than they will without it, the city's own analysis backs that. And if they brought up the 19 who died they should be dragged out of that meeting and beaten. God damn. The madness of this day. The madness which is Phoenix/Glendale, Arizona. What in blue hell is in that tap water down there???

But at least those poor hockey fans are being offered a seat. That's nice of the Glendale council. Yeah, the Mayor is telling the crowd to make room for people who are standing because there are plenty of seats available. Like it's a bloody middle school assembly. Or a school bus.

Not possible. The hypothetical arena is being built by the guys trying to bring the NBA to Seattle. Hockey is always going to be a secondary consideration even with a team at Key Arena. That said a secondary consideration Coyotes in Seattle are better than the no consideration Coyotes in Glendale. No, not really. I'd rather the NHL not be a catspaw for some effort to secure a basketball team. You say that like the NHL hadn't sacrificed its dignity long ago. At what point in the space time continuum has the NHL ever had some dignity to begin with?

Well, its A '95 in Ottawa, but not that one. Isn't Canada lagging 10-20 years behind America? Isn't this a given?

I love how it says that Bettman doesn't have a plan B "ironed out yet". You are the freaking commissioner, Bettman...don't you think you should have a plan B in place? What an idiot. If, hypothetically, a solution for Glendale would be to miraculously combine the Coyote franchise with another bleeding franchise (ala North Stars-Barons/Seals in the 1970s) and expect all their financial woes to dissapear, Bettman would approve this in a millisecond. My God, the sheer regression of logic coming from the commissioner and all involved with Phoenix/Glendale is truly amazing.

Not this London... THIS London... What about this one? How about this London: Or this one:

Bettman should just surrender to those French-speaking Quebec people. He should know a thing or two about surrendering; he has already "franced" away the equivalent of two full seasons in his tenure.

So I'm trying to update (or at least polish) my profile, the one people see when posting. Recently, I got awarded the "Longest Post of the Day" for a post on the Gear Grinder section (Lounge), and I want to put a link under my signature to direct to my posting which got me that award, just like other people have URL link redirects for their awards on the CCSLC. How do I do this? I'm having some trouble setting this up.

If only Der leader of the Kremlin had hijacked this ring instead, maybe Bob Kraft wouldn't have cared that much.

April Fool's Day was almost 3 months ago.

If there's one league that'll expand its sport to a death trap of a region, fanbase-wise and environmental-wise, all while setting shop in a state home to legalized gambling, bookies and the brothel house in Reno, it's the GDNHL.
