Gary Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Brave soul.I bet a quarter of the people there didn't even know what team he was wearingThat few?In the arena I would say yes, however...Not all of us in the Phoenix area are complete hockey idiots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosrs1 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Brave soul.I bet a quarter of the people there didn't even know what team he was wearingAs much as I think the Coyotes being placed in Phoenix was a bad idea, that guy is out of line and exhibiting very poor form. Not unlike this scuzbag who watched the Kings play the Wizards in DC the other night.I'm all for being happy that you're possibly getting a team. But going to the games of that team before it's finalized and while they're still playing in their current city just reeks of douchebaggery and dancing on other people's sorrow (more so in the Kings case since they are a great fan base that has done all that was asked of them and still may get the shaft). But even for the 'Yotes it's still pretty classless even if not as blatant or solid as the Kings/Sonics thing is currently. And it could be even worse later this week if Jamison falls through.

DaytonBlue Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I think the Sonics guy is much worse than the Nordiques guy because the Kings are on the verge of moving.This is a shame because many (but not all) Sonics fans are understanding of the suffering of losing a team and are trying to be sensitive about the situation.

Sodboy13 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Two things from today:Mike Sunnucks is reporting that Jamison has scrounged up the money from somewhere, and will make the purchase just under the city's deadline.Elliotte Friedman is reporting the league intends to expand to 32 teams, which would pretty much seal up all of the potential markets the Coyotes could relocate to.None of this fixes the main problem with the Coyotes (no one wants to watch them play and they lose $25M+ a year), but it does throw quite a wrench into them going anywhere.

RyanB06 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Elliotte Friedman is reporting the league intends to expand to 32 teams, which would pretty much seal up all of the potential markets the Coyotes could relocate to.He also made it sound like the situation could be Seattle/Quebec/GTA 2...in some combination of expansion and relocated Coyotes.

Cosmic Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 They'll need that, increased revenue sharing, charging for parking, getting all the concession money, so on, so forth, and even then.I can't tell which way the needle is moving on revenue sharing. They've increased the pot. That's good! They've also eliminated disqualifications for the Ducks, Islanders, and Devils. That's bad. But the payouts are now determined at the discretion of Gary Bettman. That's good! The revenue sharing contains potassium benzoate. Can I go now?So you're saying Gary Bettman has a switch on his back set to "evil"? And if we reset it, he'll act logically when it comes to the Coyotes?

Sodboy13 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Sharks majority owner Hasso Plattner buys out shareholders Kevin Compton and Stratton Sclavos.There's your Coyotes money.

The_Admiral Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Why would you cash out of the Sharks to buy the Coyotes, though? The Sharks' owners are regarded as being fairly smart.

The_Admiral Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Besides, didn't the other Sharks owners force Jamison out of a leadership position for being bad at his job? Then again, nothing would surprise me at this point. Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 THN's Ken Campbell cites a nebulous "source close to NHL ownership" as saying Greg Jamison was never able to raise a single dollar. So much bull , I can't even. Why would you, as a member of the Glendale City Council believe a single damn word the NHL says to you the next time they trot a "prospective owner" in front of you?
