dfwabel Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I saw this comment on TSN.ca:"Checked the AZCentral Newspaper this morning. No mention of the auction on the homepage. But, you can read 2 stories on high school football."I thought that those words pretty much summed it up.But yet it is on the front cover of the sports section in the Arizona Republic? Yeah we don't care This story has also been covered mostly by their Business section since it went to the courts. Their two representatives in the courtroom is a women who covers the Glendale area and a Montreal-born business reporter/TV anchor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Court has been adjourned for today. The NHL and Glendale attys. have decided they will NOT cross examine Bastille, but tomorrow, Bettman will take the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 The NHL would take the cake as the most inept league ever if they moved the Pens to the Western Conference.You know, as a business decision, that wouldn't be so bad. Fans of Western Conference teams complain of an east coast bias when it comes to teams being on national television....this could open up some TV opportunities for Versus or whomever, seeing Crosby play on the west coast time as well as an east coast game. It'd certainly be a golden opportunity for more doubleheaders and seeing west coast teams play on national TV more.The NHL would take the cake as the most inept league ever if they moved the Pens to the Western Conference.More inept than MLB who had the Braves in the NL West?Or the NFL that had the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers in the NFC West and the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC EastOr that time when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played in the AFC West....

-kj Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 The Dallas Cowboys are still in the NFC East, while Detroit is in the Central and St. Louis is in the West.The Coyotes do not "belong" in Hamilton.Psst...NORTH. The Lions are in the North now. Now, the Indianapolis Colts being in the AFC South...that'd have been a better example.Aww, crap. That's embarassing. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

NBC isn't going to shift its Sunday games to 4 or 5 pm eastern if Crosby is playing at the Sharks or Kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like a whole "David / Goliath" thing... which I guess makes it similar to Philadelphia's rivalry with NY. The Pirates weren't missed in the NL East, and not many blinked when the Penguins were moved out of the Patrick / Atlantic.

It seems that (especially with football) that Pittsburgh fans are super obsessed with Philadelphia while the Eagle fans couldn't give two craps about the Steelers. Which is especially odd considering they play each other literally once every 4 years. Yeah...big rivalry there.It's like all these people that hate the Jets/Giants. We play twice a decade. There's no rivalry. Just shut up everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no rivalry. Just shut up everyone.Just in general, a lot of people in Pittsburgh have an inborn hatred for anything Philadelphia, while most in Philadelphia couldn't tell you where Pittsburgh is on the map. That's honestly not to sound disrespectful, it's just the way it is. I'm not sure if it's just an inferiority complex since Philadelphia is the much larger city from a population / economic perspective or what. Before anyone get's all up in arms, it's the same way in pretty much any state where one city dominates the socioeconomic landscape. Hey - I'll go on the record and say that there's a bit of an inferiority complex between Philadelphia and NYC, so I'm not knocking Pittsburgh (though I'm sure everyone will get all defensive and read it as such.)

There's no rivalry. Just shut up everyone.The Steelers and Eagles never had any type of rivalry, the Pirates and Phillies had a great rivalry during the late 70's/early 80's when both had great teams and the crowd in Philly seems to be into the Pens/Flyers rivalry.

STL FANATIC Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Well we probably won't see a decision for about a week or so, but the auction is closed. The City of Glendale and the biggest creditors support the NHL's bid. Signs seem to point towards an NHL victory.
