NHL Anti-Thread: Bad Business Decision Aggregator

We're approaching an all-time ignominious end here. We're in Cleveland Barons territory.

 

Yeah, I'm sure this is the guy who's going to close the magical arena deal in Scottsdale that no one else was able to for a quarter-century.

I mean, you're not going to get any sympathy from me. this team should've been out of arizona fifteen years ago at least, and realistically never should've been there in the first place. complete unmitigated disaster from start to finish. the only real regret I have here is that, while I'll concede SLC will probably work out as a hockey market, I really just wish they went to quebec or hamilton instead.

 

and no, phoenix absolutely should not get a second chance. hell, I'd give atlanta a third chance before putting another team in phoenix.

Watching the broadcast from the start and this is all so stupid, and not just in the usual way of Tyson Nash attempting to produce words. Everything's being presented in "if" and "maybe" because the only people who refuse to admit this team is hauling ass north to Salt Lake tomorrow are its current owner and the people in charge of the league.

 

At least Whalers fans got their Sunday wake. This time they've assembled all the mourners and are pretending there's not a body on display.

NHL Hitz ass arena. Can't believe they let this happen for even one home game, let alone two full seasons. 

A white out to erase a market from existence. How appropriate.

spacer.pngNow where will this thread go? The Sharks and their cocky attempt to get a new, publicly-funded venue?


We’re so much closer than people realize to having the San Diego Sharks or something equally dumb.

They’re definitely one of those teams that have been coasting of the success of a single championship from more than 20 years ago, but they forgot the whole part about actually winning a championship.

I'd say they're coasting on being created out of the ashes of the Minnesota North Stars and Cleveland Barons' unholy fusion. It's gonna be hilarious to see how badly they overestimate their importance to the market.

The Sharks relocate to Cleveland  in 2030. Then they merge with the Minnesota Wild in 2035. In 2075 the Wild threaten to move to the Bay Area but A.I. Commissioner Bettman says have fun playing under water.

Not enough people to make any real difference.


But you’d rather have more than less, right? My point was to show that in addition to having a small metro area (47th last I checked) they’re also kind of geographically isolated.

It's not over till the BoG votes.   We've waited too long to start celebrating prematurely only to have our hearts ripped out.

 

Ironically, more non fans will have their hearts ripped out if they stay than their actual fans will if they leave.

Take 5 minutes and watch this.  You really have to feel for the fans, however many there are.  I know it would be a real gut punch to lose any of my teams (and until shovels go in the ground for the Rays, I could be within 4 years of feeling this way).
