Tie Domi on his son Max playing with Montreal

[ThePhoenixx]

I don't get it. Why aren't all the other owners up in arms? They're the ones who have to pay for all of the losses.

I do not get it at all. This has been going on for 22 years. NFL will move franchises over nothing that are still making money.

The Coyotes poor revenues lower the salary cap. Only the richest teams and the players would want the Coyotes gone.

I do tend to think the NHLPA would completely want them moved.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Why?

Are you familiar with Tie Domi? His list of stupid comments and actions goes way, way back.

He's a guy whose name is an anagram for ME IDIOT whose professional career was getting punched.

 

[redcard]

People don't like when they hear these things, but when you're a zero time Stanley Cup Champion like Tie you get to say what you want.

any team turning a profit should want them gone.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Except for the players who are on the team. It seems nearly impossible to pry one away from the desert. I suspect that they would vote to keep the Coyotes around.

A team like the Ducks with an internal cap does not want to see the league cap rise. There are many teams just like them.

They've got to stop approving expansion then. The Vegas expansion made the cap soar.

 

[FalcorMulch]

The market is huge actually. They just don't care about hockey.

When I say market I mean hockey market.

 

[RalphyDanger]

Would you say otherwise?

 

[Summer Rose]

at what point does Bettman pull the plug on Phoenix? They've been bleeding millions and millions of dollars for years. Experiment failed

You're welcome for Auston Matthews.

As a Yankees fan, I've seen a number of guys who play well elsewhere and then bottom out in NY for whatever reason and some have left and played well again in a smaller market. Similarly, there have been guys that are better in pinstripes. I imagine for a kid from Canada growing up in hockey culture MTL carries a mystique, maybe even more so than TOR. To a US kid who maybe plays for a US college before turning pro it's probably not the same as for the Canadian kid to be drafted or traded to MTL.

I think it depends. When you look at the way some people who grew up in and around Toronto talk about the Leafs or talk about how their fathers and grandfather's were Leafs fans, you can see why some players still have a passion for Toronto. I think Montreal still has that mystique of course but I don't think it's that far removed from how Canadian players think about Toronto.

 

[Frank Drebin]

He's not wrong, but a little classless to put it so bluntly after the fact.

I wonder if Tie tried fighting the reporters in between his drooling sentences.

Speaking of classless...

 

[Frank Drebin]

Disrespectful to say arizona isnt a real team. Max domi is garbage anyway.

Domi is actually great, it's your opinion that's garbage.

Arizona just needs some more time.

f*** Atlanta tho.

 

[ACC1224]

Domi's an idiot and it doesn't fall far from the tree.
Thankfully he'll never be a Leaf.

 

[who_me?]

ME IDIOT
MAXIMUM DUMMY

 

[#2eddieshore]

Well Montreal is the vatican of hockey in Canada, of the hockey world in fact.....

All you have to do is go to a game at the Bell Center on a Saturday night to know this.

Montreal has the most overrated atmosphere in the league.

Speaking of classless...

His career? Agreed, but I didn't want to go quite that far.

 

[ottawa]

Meh, he's not wrong and there's certainly no disrespect to Arizona. Montreal is the most storied franchise, the hardest city to play in, most profitable team and has the largest fanbase.

I actually hope Max carves a good little career out for himself, but distances it from the less than intelligent nature of his fathers' actions. Hoping nothing like his Ekblad moment happens again any time soon.

 

[Spectra]

Tie is correct, his son now plays on a real team in a real market. There are only 6 of them after all.

 

[sharks9]

True, but pretty rude to say it
