Sodboy13 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Jerry Moyes no longer has authority over the Coyotes, per the NHL.Just copying this, as it is a rather Earth-shattering bit of news, and I'd rather it didn't get lost in the prattlings of Captain Fire 'n Brimstone over there.Methinks Bettman is on the phone with the Kansas City people (Sprint Center is it?) as we speak. Balsillie adopting the same attitude as he did with Nashville will not put him in the NHL Board of Governors' good books. As far as I'm concerened, this whole "We are against relocation" attitude that Bettman is adopting will crumble once the right (American) investors come along. So I guess what I'm saying is: Congratulations Kansas City, you finally get a team!SenJake, I think you're on to something here. But who's ready, willing and able for ownership in KC? Boots DelBiaggio, last I heard, ran into some, er, "issues." So who's got the mid-nine figures and is jonesing to field a team in the shiny new Sprint Center?

I don't know, but I do know Bettman has a total boner for that Vegas idea. At the end of the day, this is what this will come down to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think he was asking God for your banishment. That's weird. I thought he was asking for my Barrishment. Now I've got a taste for some ing waffles and a longing to watch some footy, and it appears both of my desires will go unfulfilled.

Milo Meningocele Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 My PC took a crap for a few minutes, so maybe BigMac does have at least a little pull. At any rate, I expected this thread to be in the Graveyard by the time I came back up. I guess if BigMac's truly gone, it just may survive.

BBTV Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 You mean like Winnipeg (both IHL and WHA), Quebec City (both IHL and WHA), and Hartford (WHA)?EDIT-forgot Ottawa for the WHA too. Im curious as to why you care so much about Phoenix. Im guessing your from St. Louis, a good hockey market and your arguing against Phoenix moving. I dont understand.Actually from Central Illinois, but whenever the LOL H0CK3Y D03SNT B3L0NG IN T3H S0UTH!!!111one arguments fly up for rather irrational means I find myself siding with the Southern teams. Because I'm pretty much from the hee haw states according to some.I have nothing against american markets, I wish them well. The Coyotes are in a huge amount of debt. The NHL is losing money. That's not an irrational means.But why have they incurred a huge amount of debt? Because of the market or the lease? I'm under the impression it's more on the latter than the former.That said, Versus is claiming the Coyotes just filed for Chapter 11, so....fun for all around.I never said it was the fans fault. The team is losing money. If you file for bankruptcy, you hurt the whole league's image and pocketbook. That's capitalism my friend. If it makes Americans cringe so much to move the team to Canada, then let me ask you this: Where is the Kansas City group and why haven't they made an offer? I think hockey in Kansas is a great idea. They gotta get on this if they hope to score a team. I know Bettman will back them up over Ballsillie.You're aware that the Kansas City in which they'd be playing isn't in Kansas... right???
