Being that we're now 10 days until the deal is complete and MH owns the Coyotes, there is still no news from COG?
Night-time temperatures as low as 22 degrees are expected for metro Phoenix over the next two days, as a cold air mass from Canada moves into Arizona.
If the deal falls apart, as it now appears closer to doing, I'm extremely curious if Glendale will tee up a lawsuit for specific performance/damages/etc.
I don't see it as a successful claim but I would rather enjoy watching Glendale turn on the NHL.
next thread HAS to be PHOENIX XXI: Two Weeks - Part Deux
cuz, you know...
That would be awesome. They could sue the IEH guys as well, but I doubt they would ever collect any damages if awarded.
I arrived too late, I was going to suggest "Hindsight is XX - XX" for a thread title.
They should be giving out those snugglies tonight. It could be a sellout as they have hockey weather down in the desert.

We can use that title if this thread goes another 9 years (2020).
@CF. What do you see as the grounds for a suit by COG? I think you mentioned it a few hundred posts ago.
I hope the weather doesn't keep the fans from attending the game tonight.
In all seriousness does anyone else find it strange that the COG has issued only a few one line statements from their spokesperson and the statement directed at Goldwater and essence have remained very quiet since December 14. Why no TV, radio or newspaper interviews singing the praises of the Coyotes remaining in Glendale. Politicians love to take credit for "making a difference". Conversely neither Liebermann or Alvarez has spoken out publicly against the deal with Mr. Hulsizer.
This to me seems to be the opposite of transparent government and seems to consist wholly of secret backroom planning.
Is it at all possible that the deal may be in some real trouble. In addition, if the deal with Mr. Hulsizer was to not work out and the NHL draws on the $25 million to cover this years losses could that be an illegal gift? If it is clearly in violation of the Arizona gift clause to give the NHL $25 million to fund losses directly could the Mayor and council have knowlingly signed a contract last June with the NHL that breaks state law. What could the repurcussions of that be?
At this point in the season would it be safe to say the Coyotes owe some serious $$$$$ to some of their accounts. Airlines, hotels etc... At what point in time will those companies demand payment? Could it be two weeks?
Phil: There is no way that this thread is *ever* going to end as long as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any other way out. He's got to be stopped. And I have to stop him.

If the deal falls through and TNSE does buy the team and moves them back to Winnipeg. The next thread would have to be titled
XXI - That's it, Back to Winnipeg!
I remember that from an old Simpsons episode.
