McCall Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Losing the Coyotes would lessen the celebration of Arizona's 100th birthday? How many people would even know they're gone?

CubsFanBudMan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 That was my reaction when someone posted that article in another thread. The columnist used that centennial argument a couple of times in there, as if having an NHL team has any relevance at all to the state having a successful 100 years.

"We owe that."The city last year set aside $20 million in this year's budget with the intention of securing a team buyer who would pay the NHL tab.Sherry Schurhammer, management and budget director, said $20 million is in escrow and "we have to identify where the $5 million will come from and set up an inter-fund loan like in fiscal year 2011."oopsI'm sure the NHL can work it out to where the Coyotes can stay in the playoffs long enough to generate the $5 million that the city is short.Do Blackhawks fans travel to Phoenix in droves like the Red Wings fans do?

rams80 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I keep praying the Blackhawks can pass Nashville. It would be beautiful if the Coyotes came to an end against an obstructively trapping team that nobody gives a about.

Sodboy13 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Do Blackhawks fans travel to Phoenix in droves like the Red Wings fans do?They've been de facto home games the past few years. I think there are also lots of transplants in the area; Bears-Cardinals games in Tempe tended to be awash in navy and orange.

The_Admiral Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Crown Their Ass was a de facto home game as well, but I don't think they've been back since.It would be beautiful if the Coyotes came to an end against an obstructively trapping team that nobody gives a about. Goals will be awarded simply for gaining the blue line and still have 2-1 final scores. But, um, seriously, remember that time about a year ago that the MTS Centre underwent renovations to become NHL-compliant and nobody said it was a big deal?

Good for him. Sadly, there will soon be at least one casualty in the upcoming weeks: the Glendale City Manager and possibly an Asst. City Manager. All of them are hired by the council and can easily by fired for not being able to provide the funds the council voted for. The other side is that Gelndale would have to come up with termination pay and spend the money in searching for new executives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 The Quebecois are a cultural "nation" unto themselves. Stephen Harper said so!I do agree that Capitale-Nationale is an odd term for that jurisdiction; it sounds more like a name for GatineauOh and separatism is actually pretty low in Quebec City, as I understand it, because it's so overwhelmingly French that they never feel besieged by anglophone culture like Montrealers do.
