bosrs1 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Tonight was a bitter pill to swallow...on the ice and the turnout.How so? It's not like this is new or was even unknown to most people. It's been like this for years. Only thing that has changed is that FINALLY other teams are acknowledging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Tonight was a bitter pill to swallow...on the ice and the turnout.What's a bitter pill to swallow is having a commissioner fight tooth and nail to keep a team in a city/area that very few are interested in while teams like the Sacramento Kings in the NBA are all but gone and teams like the North Stars, Nordiques, Whalers and Jets(original jets) got relocated from fan bases that genuinely cared about the teams at least far more than the general fan base of the Coyotes. THe only thing that is not as bitter with Minnesota, Winnipeg and possibly Quebec is that they got teams back. Quote Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think it's already been reported that Gallacher is no longer interested.As for Ice Edge, I have no idea why the league is even still talking to these idiots. 1 Quote PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think the fact that the league is still talking to Ice Edge ("Yeah, we're all about keeping the team in Glendale, but, uh, how 'bout 8 home games a year in Saskatoon?") just reinforces what a farce it all is at this point. It's window dressing made of cellophane.

Crash Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I went to a Spokane Chiefs game this weekend. They're a major junior team in the Western Hockey League (same league and division as the WinterHawks that keep coming up). Granted, they're generally near the top of the league in attendance but here's some fun facts:A Saturday night game between the Spokane Chiefs and a division rival (the Tri-City Americans) had 10,122 in attendance. The previous Saturday night, they drew 9,079.A Saturday night game between the Phoenix Coyotes and a division rival (the L.A. Kings) had 14,780 in attendance. The next Saturday night, they drew 12,151.For every ONE person in the Spokane area, there are NINE in the Phoenix area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Could you ask your man o'er the Remparts what that deal was last year with the team being asked to clean out their offices? I was going back through old threads the other day and found that tidbit. Didn't exactly go as planned!

As for the Remparts info, not surprising. After Jamison failed the writing is on the wall in Phoenix even to the delusional fools running the NHL. They appear to have other owners who have had enough of sinking money into the Glendale pit if the reaction of the Blackhawks organization was any indication. The NHL have probably been talking to anyone who can take this albatross off their hands, and Quebec is the most ready and willing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
