Don't let anyone rain on your parade, TFP. Spectator sports are all about hope - for this year, for next year and for years ever after. If you lose hope. It's time to pack it in and find another hobby.
I will admit that the whole "build-me-an-arena" thing sounds a little far-fetched to the untrained ear, but that doesn't matter. You're talking to a Leafs fan here who hopes the Leafs will one day make the playoffs and win the Stanley Cup -- and some say that sounds a little far-fetched too.
So, if a new arena saving the day for the Coyotes sounds about right to you, then enjoy that just as I'll continue to enjoy visions of Nazem Kadri, William Nylander and maybe even Steven Stamkos in Leafs jerseys carrying the Cup around the Air Canada Centre.
I really couldn't say that one is more or less probable than the other
