Since the deal will likely go through on tuesday, good for them.

something will have to come up from this deal though...I just cannot see this going through without any form of resistance what-so-ever

This might take an early Christmas miracle for them to realize what a grave mistake they're about to make if they are going through. It'll probably take a divine intervention to call out the deal and say "this is bullshit" and then stop the whole thing altogether.

I seriously hope that common sense will prevail in this, and so far, I see none of it.

W.C. Fields would say it's your moral obligation to never give a sucker an even break.

coyotes are done...bring on the original plan.....hotlanta.

byfuglien will be fun to watch.

good high scoring team...not a bunch of muckers with a goalie like in phoenix.

Yeah to be honest I'd rather have Atlanta's players (and prospects) than Phoenix. Plus, just think of the insane rivalry between the Coyotes and Winnipeg. Fans in Phoenix likely won't care (have they ever?) but when the Coyotes come to MTS Centre, it will be the noisiest building in the league!

Only The Lonely.. · #5 Posted **Dec 12, 2010, 6:09 AM**

I agree that Atlanta is the better team, but somehow my thirst for poetic justice goes unsatiated.

Where is the Goldwater Institute on this "deal?"
I imagine that they're furious over the terms of this deal!

Good luck filling that arena, Glendale... it looked pretty thin in there on the highlights tonight.

I'd hate to be a tax payer in Glendale.

"Counting the money now pledged to Hulsizer, Glendale's debt on sports-related venues with interest tops $1 billion.

This whole Phoenix Coyotes stay or go saga was like watching the TV series LOST where you ended up with more questions than answers.

JayM · #11 Posted **Dec 15, 2010, 11:13 PM**

$197 Million from a city roughly +250,000 over the next 6 years. Coyotes are already projected to lose $25 Million this season. All in the name to save Bettmens ass suggesting that his decision to move teams wasn't a bad idea.

freeweed · #12 Posted **Dec 16, 2010, 4:54 AM**

So after 2 years of uncertainty, and many years before of "poor management" and just a shitty deal in general, the Coyotes have their big agreement approved last night. The team is saved, they have an awesome new manager who is going to totally turn things around, and things are just great in the desert now. How does the team respond in their first game?

They lose. 3-nothing. TO FUCKING NEW JERSEY.

Yeah, this is a great omen.

CorbeauNoir · #13 Posted **Dec 19, 2010, 7:17 PM**

What's truly amazing is that this has been pulled off and yet the tax base, which is what, a quarter of a million people? apparently couldn't care less. Wasn't that whole Tea Party thing built around whining about taxes? Why aren't they up in arms about this?

1ajs · #14 Posted **Dec 19, 2010, 9:13 PM**

be surprized how many people out there don't pay attention beyound whats going on within 10feet of them if that

Only The Lonely.. · #15 Posted **Dec 20, 2010, 12:04 AM**

Apparently on this day in 1980 the Winnipeg Jets ended a 30 game losing streak before 11,500 faithful at the old barn.

One of the longest losing streaks in professional sports history, and still we managed to outdraw the championship Coyotes in attendance.

What's sad is the Islander's 7600 fans this past Thursday was 300 less than what the Moose had (7900) in the MTS Centre Friday night.

I've been to MooseHEADS games that have had that kind of attendance. Hell, the Quebec Remparts draw about 10k a game.

Has anyone heard anything on the sale of the coyotes to Hulsizer of late? Has the city of Glendale even raised $$ in their bond sale? Has the NHL B of G voted on this flawed deal? I hear AZ is in real bad shape and the situation there will get a lot worse before it gets better, not exactly somewhere you would choose to buy/place a sports team.

The Jabroni · #19 Posted **Jan 10, 2011, 6:40 PM**

According to my friend, who is following this a lot more closely than myself, he said that despite Glendale voting in favour to keep the team with that guy buying it, nothing has been signed. I don't know what he meant by that, but he also said that news about the Coyotes is imminent.

^ next couple of weeks.
