OT: Phoenix Coyotes Ownership Saga

[kingsfan28]

Did some talking head really compare the Coyotes to the 19 fallen firefighters?

So a city in the desert cuts $200k in spending for their fire department, but is banking on $15 million/year?

They are going to take a 15 million dollar insurance policy on city hall and when it burns down use the money to pay the team

I'm pretty excited for this saga to be revisited in the next 5 years.

Once they start losing money, it will be less than 5 years.

Where are these "hockey fans" going to come from?

This is just a terrible development for the league. The phoenix experiment ended several years ago.

There are not enough fans in the Phx metro area to support an NHL team, period. I wish this weren't true, but it is.

It's hard to be optimistic about any of this.

They are the Arizona Coyotes now, show some respect!

If the "Arizona" Coyotes can upgrade their logo, colors and jersey, (ok, and fans) I promise to keep an open mind.

Wait, Glendale actually approved that deal? jesustapdancingchrist.

I don't want to see the Coyotes move, but these politicians are not doing the people's business.
