You won't need an account to that shithole of a site, business's wouldn't use it if no one could view their content without an account.

 

[Desert Ice 11]

Whoa..just popped into my head. With a billionaire owner...we can now afford Mathews when he comes back home

 

[Vip]

Hopefully he does exactly what Tavares did.

 

[Mosby]

Hopefully he does exactly what Tavares did.

Pajama tweet and all.

 

[Coyotes2000]

Hopefully he does exactly what Tavares did.

He stays in AZ all summer..


...yeah, in the summer.. This is his home and one day he will come here.

 

[TheLegend]

Opened up a GDT for the presser.

If I find any other links to it other than the Yotes’ Facebook page I’ll add them in.

You didn't like the Bettman toaster?

Haven’t had time to fit it. I’m at work right now and my data plan for the month is already blown.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

I just thought of something - you know the rumor about the new arena going on (paraphrasing) "the casino arizona site"? What if whoever was talking about "Casino Arizona Field", which is the sponsored name for the Rising's temporary stadium?

and what a coup for that tribe, right? Moving from "Gila River (Casino) Arena" to "Casino Arizona Arena"?

 

[SR]

What were the final numbers on the purchase, anyone know?

 

[TheLegend]

Haven’t seen anything yet. But you can bet Mike Ozanian at Forbes will have his paper napkin figures from impeccable sources.

 

[Jakey53]

What were the final numbers on the purchase, anyone know?

I heard between 290 - 300 mill.

 

[XX]

Most of it is just an assumption of existing debt. Any reported dollar figure is meaningless.

Why is it meaningless?

Sure did and got some people to visit too..Saw a pic on Twitter with him and Marleau in Scottsdale on some scooters

 

[Vip]

Looks like Camelback and Scottsdale Road right by the Scottsdale water front/ W hotel. Also Matthews got a forehead. Love you bro but looks like you may be balding soon or just have a big forehead.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Matthews has a fivehead.

 

[moosemeister]

He could look like Homer Simpson for all I care. I’d buy a Matthews Kachina Jersey in a heartbeat

Hell I'd buy a Matthews kachina on the strength of an Auston to AZ Eklund rumor!

 

[Prarievarg]

Or we all just buy Matthews Kachina jerseys regardless. Make the homecoming iinevitable.

Those dudes would cringe having to talk about the Coyotes. But to be fair, I'm sure there are few markets that hockey wouldn't get dominated by football, basketball and baseball on the sports radio stations. The more that I think about it, I actually think they would be excited to talk about a winning team, as we haven't had that in Phoenix in years. Let's hope the Coyotes give them that this season.

Dallas morning shows have limited hockey coverage. That's not to say that they leave them behind - as the playoffs started to go forward, there was a little more chatter for them.

I don't know if anyone on the particular morning show that I listen to is a "hockey expert," per se. But, their program director and one other person heavily involved in a mid-day show know hockey. So, sometimes the morning shows will reference what the program director thinks and that allows for a discussion.

If the radio station still operates the same way, I think you need some sort of head management and maybe one other broadcaster in the daily lineup who actually knows hockey. Hell, turn one of those late round draft picks we had who went to ASU into a broadcaster or a behind-the-scenes guy in the office. If Doug is the same Doug and Wolf is the same Wolf, I just think that they report the news in relating to hockey coverage because no one really has coached these guys into talking hockey.

But yes, winning does create that extra coverage. I haven't seen a major difference in coverage in Dallas vs. Arizona. But I also think that the Dallas radio program makes people want to listen in the morning. Sometimes, Doug and Wolf got a little too monotonous for me. And in the monotony of not talking about hockey, they will remain that way until the team forces them to talk more about them as well.

You live in big D? I thought he lived in Canada.

Looks arent important anymore. Taylor Pyatt never scored a goal because of his piercing blue eyes.

This is what goal scoring looks like

Damn, they did him dirty with that shot. It's crazy how he looks like an average leaguer but he rips up the best league in the world.
