BeerGuyJordan Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I doubt the Flames will go anywhere. This feels like posturing to try and get the fanbase rallied in favor of public funds.

Hell, even Oilers fans would be against it as it takes away from a great provincial rivalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 From Scott Darling's piece in The Daily Ghostwritten Jock: I lasted maybe five days before Phoenix told me to beat it. I should have checked into rehab right then. Instead, I was on a plane the next day. Phoenix assigned me to their ECHL affiliate in literally the worst place on earth for me at that moment: beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada. Seriously, I got sent to Vegas. I would laugh if the reality wasn’t so grim. Our rink was inside The Orleans Hotel & Casino, right off the Strip. And I lived at the hotel inside the casino. Pretty much every day was the same routine: Practice inside the casino. Then drinking inside the casino. And then going to bed inside the casino. It was so bizarre and depressing, in hindsight. I lasted a few weeks before I missed a practice, and the team said, “Pack your s***.” "The distractions will only apply to road teams" my ass 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGuyJordan Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Well, the NHL & NBA Commissioners are now taking point on the talks, for a joint arena venture, in Phoenix. http://www.abc15.com/sports/sports-blogs-local/report-nba-nhl-commissioners-working-with-suns-coyotes-on-joint-arena Quote Thunder Bay Lynx - International Hockey Association (2 seasons, 2017-18, 2019-20, 2018 Xtreme Cup Champions) | Houston Armadillos - Major League Hockey (2 seasons, 2016-18) | Minnesota Muskies - North American Basketball Association (1 season, 2017-2018) | Louisville Thoroughbreds - United League of Baseball (1 season, 2017, 2017 United Cup Champions) | Las Vegas Thunderbirds - International Basketball League (1 season, 2016-17, 2017 Champions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 How would this be good business for the Suns, who could book more lucrative arena dates than a hockey team that only draws around 10,000? And what sort of muscle does Count Bettman have to boss the NBA around on the issue? What is he saying here, "You have to build a new arena and you have to share it with a hockey team despite all your other new arenas eschewing their hockey teams so as to maximize basketball revenue because we need to say we're nominally in Phoenix while retaining a low-revenue market for the purposes of suppressing expenses for high-revenue markets"? I don't see any way that this should come to fruition, so that means it absolutely will. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hockey Hall of Famer Jeremy Jacobs sued the IRS over the extent to which catering for road games is tax-deductible and won. Quote Since the whole away team crew is away from its business home, the IRS does not question that the meals are deductible. Generally though, the deduction for meals is limited to 50% (Code Section 274(n)). There are exceptions. There were two that the Bruins owners argued they qualified for. One was that the meals were a "de minimis" fringe benefit and the other was that they were an expense of entertainment sold to customers. The first excuse turned out to be good enough, so the Tax Court did not discuss the second one. lol the kicker is that he wasn't suing over whether he could get a deduction, it was that he got half the deduction but he wanted the whole. Only in the goddamn 1%. Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
