No, they just had one pro team for 6 seasons almost a half-century ago, that folded basically the moment Gordie Howe wasn't playing for them anymore. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Winnipeg is proof that the NHL can work in a small Canadian market. If Arizona moves there it will mess up the conference-division alignment. We may just have to have a 17 team East and 15 team West. I cant see Detroit and Columbus moving back west. 1 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL finally is back to even conferences & divisions, so they aren't going to suddenly go back to an uneven alignment. Detroit fought for years to be moved to the East, so they won't be moving back without a fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other way around. They were one of the most successful WHA teams, but the owner eventually gave up because the NHL was just not going to let the Aeros in under any circumstances. 4 Quote On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

Sodboy13 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Gary Bettman has 12 days to shake down his other 31 owners for $1.3 million in back taxes owed by the Coyotes, or Glendale's going to lock them out of the arena. Shouldn't be a problem for them to cover it if they want to, but what an embarrassment. We're entering USFL territory now. Might be the league's house team again by the Olympic break. 3 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

Sodboy13 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I still think Bettman pulls the gang together for one last job (ing dot com arena,) but I also think it's plausible that all the owners who are still around from the last time the league had to buy the Coyotes may decide it's time for them to find a new lackey and thank Gary for his 30 years of service. TV money's locked in for a few years and Houston is a bigger media market than Phoenix, anyway, assuming Tilman Fertitta's alleged house of cards doesn't collapse in the interim. We may be past the point of the NHL feeling like it needs a team in the desert. 3 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

BBTV Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I've got nothing against a Houston Aeros team (provided their logos are nice), but the prospective return of the Nordiques makes me wet downstairs, as long as we don't get the dumb wolf logo. I'd even be down with a KC team (if they even still want one) over the Loserdale Coyotes. Is there any lease that they're bound to? Or once they pay up their taxes (how does it even get to this point?) are they free to just leave? 2 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
