Not any more.Briefly considered kissing up to Fugu's suggestions, but I'm a Fight Club fan so...I dig it.
Considering whether or not to pull rank....
Your days here are numbered, sonny.

At this point Brain Damage or Comfortably Numb seem more apropos.
Also - in honor of the pending CoG / GWI sit down:

Did he also mention that he 'believes' Hulsizer will be at the game tonight? I can't listen, but that is being reported on various twitter accounts...if that means anything!

With at least one & possibly more reporter's present. Dont worry about it. You'll find out in real time whats being said/discussed. Honestly, I think people are putting far too much import on this tete-a-tete. Without League & Hulsizer participation ABSENT reporters little more than posturing is going to come of it, and we already know what both positions are on the matter.
No comment from Bettman on Hulsizer's social plans that I heard.
Yup... It's hard to put too much stock into a meeting that doesn't include either the seller or potential purchaser of the team. Unless Goldwater is having this meeting so that they can find a way to change their position on the principles of the deal, I can't see this as much more than public relations by the COG. Clearing this logjam will require some concessions and/or a new business model from either Hulsizer or the NHL, I would think. Bettman seemed to allude to that possibility on his interview with TSN, I thought. But we shall soon see...
Epic fail on my part
But the the other part of my post stands. Is it a falls count anywhere, submission, no countouts, and/or is there a 60 minute time limit?

It's gonna end in a double disqualification with both parties claiming cheatery and chicanery on the part of the other team. Of course on a double DQ, the prize cannot change hands.
Gary will call for a rematch....to finally decide the fate...a no DQ falls count anywhere match....while the teams are both involved in the action...he'll steal the prize and declare himself the rightful owner of the prize. COG and GWI will look at each other in amazement, then surprisingly team up to bash Gary....who runs away with the prize.....
Though I expect the COG / GWI meeting to be mainly PR, I would be interested in a coherent discussion between the parties on at least 2 issues:
1) The current and future ownership of the rights to parking revenue. This should be an opportunity for the COG to clearly state their case on this.
2) Discussion of the "arena management fee", justifying both the amount and the way in which it has been sole-sourced.

Yes. He said Hulsizer would be there. He said that after saying he had spoken to Hulsizer within the hour.
Since he said this morning that Hulsizer had other business and would not be attending tonights game; it makes me think Bettman put some pressure on Hulsizer to attend tonight's games.
Gotta keep up appearances old chap

Gonna be interesting to see the fans at the game tonight. Will the Yotes fans get their ***** kicked again by Detroit fans?
Yes, because there was so much to cheer for last game. Not sure if you watched it or not, but it was two-zero within minutes. Of course, only Arizona fans would be quiet after that, right?
Two more weeks it looks like.

I don't blame you guys for being quiet, it's just that when Detroit scored, the roar was as loud or louder than when Phoenix scored. Unless the goal horn was so loud I could barely hear them?Yes, because there was so much to cheer for last game. Not sure if you watched it or not, but it was two-zero within minutes.

Julie baby- if you don't know GWI's answer to that, then it's really over.

Where do you get this crap from? There were 20-25% Detroit fans at the game Monday. Most sat in the lower bowl because the upper bowl usually sells out first in Phoenix. At least our team made the playoffs.
And here's a nugget I picked up today - apparently the City is working on a private placement with a commercial bank for the bond amount. By not going the bond route there will be a slight interest premium but terms can be negotiated -- i.e. what happens to $ if deal is killed in court? I haven't heard much about this kind of deal but my contact told me that commercial lending to governments is on the rise because most governments (and Glendale is clarly in the group) have very good credit.
There's clearly something going on.

I was looking for the stuff on the parking and found a Hocking Report, Exhibit D, in bankruptcy documents.
I find it interesting that non hockey events at Jobing were going to bring in $109 million over 30 years and the Coyotes games were going to bring in 44 million. There was also parking charges in the number that CoG supplied as to what they were going to receive from non-hockey events.
And the total gross parking revenues over the 30 years was a whopping $85 million (not a present value number) as reflected on page 6.
Lucy, you got some splainin to do.

The raising of the money either by loan or bond issue makes n difference. If it is viewed as using CoG credit to back a private business, that may violate the gift clause (I use may because you can never count on judges to rule one way or another regardless of what the law states).

Yes, this was brought up in an earlier thread. Commercial Banks are actively soliciting municipalities as an alternative to Bonding at very favorable rates. In the past, muni's often borrowed smallish amounts for various projects, however, with the influx of bailout money the banks have increased lending capacities, $100M+++ not out of the question. That being said, the COG would still be caught up in the Gift Clause as they'd be using their credit to support a private enterprise. With the Bonds, they indirectly did so leaving room to argue, however, a direct-loan to Glendale from a Bank would be a pretty clear violation no?....
