bosrs1 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Geez, I'm so tired of the Coyotes situation. It's obvious to everyone but the NHL that Phoenix can't support a hockey team. They are on life support and it's time to pull the plug on them.[/mini rant]Yeah they were flying banners over the Dodger's game at Camelback Ranch on Saturday trying to lure some spring training visitors over to the arena after Sunday's games to watch some hockey on Sunday. Found that just funny given that a large number of spring training go'ers aren't locals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I don't remember the timeline last year, but at what point did it become clear the Thrashers would be moving instead of the Coyotes? On May 16th, reports surfaced that True North Sports and Entertainment was negotiating to purchase the Thrashers from Atlanta Spirit Group. The NHL and True North held a joint press conference in Winnipeg on May 31st to announce that a deal to buy the Thrashers had been reached. Finally, on June 21st, the NHL Board of Governors formally approved both the sale of the Atlanta Thrashers to True North Sports and Entertainment and the relocation of the franchise to Winnipeg.

I can't confirm that there were Sox fans who rooted for the Coyotes because too many Cubs fans like the Blackhawks, but I can't confirm there weren't, either.

The Thrashers-to-Winnipeg reports quickly followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvrdgsfn Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Patrick Roy is for a Nordiques return, I wonder if her could be in the running for a head coach position...http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftvasports.ca%2Ftvasports%2Fhockey%2Farchives%2F2012%2F03%2F20120326-193929.html&act=url"I understand that the first priority of the people of the League is to first keep the market as it is currently. By cons, as and as failures accumulate in some areas, the relocation may be a possibility, "said Roy in an interview with Sports VAT.On the Remparts, they have already signed a lease until the 2014-2015 season to play their home games at the Pepsi Coliseum today. When asked if his team will play in the new arena, the former star goalie at first thought, however, dream of a new professional team to settle in Quebec."Honestly, we all want an NHL team plays there. Even if it will hurt us, we appreciate what the supporters have given us all these years. We tried to please people and want to give the young people to play hockey, "said he.

The_Admiral Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 There's a city in Quebec named Asbestos. Such a move wouldn't help them get away from their problem at all!I don't think the Nassau Coliseum is long for this world, but that doesn't mean the Islanders are similarly doomed. They're worth too much where they are. 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 March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Didn't we find out after the fact though that Atlanta's players got wind of a likely move back in February?Yes. The word was that Dustin Byfuglien signed his contract extension with the Thrashers (on February 15th) because he was told by ownership that all signs pointed to the team moving to Winnipeg, bringing him back closer to home where he could drunkenly boat about and whatnot. To some degree, this might also explain the bottom dropping out of the team's performance during that February.
