Sell Phx to LV, and come back to Phoenix in a few years with a proper plan. This franchise wasnt ready from the start. I think this area for hockey just needs the Expos treatment, leave for a awhile and come back with a proper start that actually nurtures fans.
Well, I think the "Expos treatment", to put it kindly, is that MLB left Montréal and hasn't come back.
I'm not sure that Phoenix really wants that kind of favour.
. . . As I stated earlier I'm hoping there will be an arena announcement simply to see all the jaws hit the floor here and the subsequent rabble to follow . . .
If that actually happened, no one would ever find out about it. The press would be too busy covering hell freezing over.
A friend of mine, a lawyer, charged another friend of mine, also lawyer, a penalty of one bottle of scotch for every day he was late completing a document. After 24 days the other friend brought the completed document along with 24 miniature 50 mL bottles of scotch. It wasn't quite the penalty my friend had in mind.
If there is an "arena announcement", I have this vision of Mr. Anthony LeBlanc excusing himself from the podium, bending over and pulling out of his ass a miniature replica of an arena and holding it proudly in the air saying "Here it is!".
That's about the most realistic arena announcement I can possibly imagine at the moment.
