The_Admiral Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Now it's coming out that Global Spectrum (a division of Comcast, the owner of the Flyers and the NHL's media overlord) is signing on to be Ice Edge's arena manager. And now it's clear why they were conspicuously uninvolved in the bidding for the job.If you really want to get the conspiracy theories going, Global Spectrum also runs the arena (Copps Coliseum) here in Hamilton.

rams80 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 John Shannon @JSportsnet 2mAs a point of interest, Global-Spectacor is a big part of the proposed arena in Markham. Deep ties in sports and entertainment business OH ME.Please amend "trojan horse post" to include MLSE.

cmm Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 If Bettman and Daly are there tonight, then you'd have to think Sherwood got the council to give the nice men their money so no one gets hurt.Craig Morgan @cmorganfoxaz2hAn NHL spokesperson said that NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly plan to be in Glendale tonight.

Remember Gary is the current owner of the Coyotes and does have a vested interest in the proceedings tonight. And he may be there to issue an ultimatum prior to the vote in person as well. Informing them that if they vote for their proposal (as appears to be the current plan), the team will be promptly filling their U-Haul's and heading up to Seattle for 2013-14.

rams80 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I will say this. If the NHL goes to Seattle, it is imperative for the league to get control of a hypothetical new arena and then absolutely refuse to give a lease to an NBA team. A Sonics revival is not in its best interests. 1 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.

A Sonics revival is not in its best interests.Not possible. The hypothetical arena is being built by the guys trying to bring the NBA to Seattle. Hockey is always going to be a secondary consideration even with a team at Key Arena. That said a secondary consideration Coyotes in Seattle are better than the no consideration Coyotes in Glendale.

cmm Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 The meeting starts at 7 pm in Arizona. Since they don't do daylight saving, that's 10 ET. Supposedly the meeting might last until midnight local time:http://www.foxsports...023&feedID=3702The council meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. PT, but the media has been advised that proceedings could drag on until midnight.

hbgoo1975 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 If the Coyotes were to stay, Bettman would say something irrelevant as The Coyotes are Phoenix. And we would like to have a Stanley Cup in Phoenix.Even though they play away form Phoenix. I wonder if they will ever become the Arizona Coyotes.

The_Admiral Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 I suppose that's what that post is, yes, but hbgoo will sometimes post in the form of crudely drawn MSpaint comics starring a panda, which goes beyond what any spambot--or normal poster--contributes.
