Coyotes doing all they can to keep costs down

[jstewismybastardson]

from Ian Macintyres (Vancouver Sun) twitter last night during game:

Coyotes just honored a U.S. colonel for service, including Afghanistan. His reward: $25 gift certificate to Outback Steakhouse.

Wow....that's pretty damn sad.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

i think it would have been enough to just honour him publically ... I guarantee he wasnt looking for any reward and they give him a $25 dollar gift card ???

 

[Automattic]

Me thinks this writer from Vancouver might have an agenda.


Any talk of if he got in the game for free? Sat in the owners box? Met players from both teams? Attend any skates or tour the lockerroom? Those things would be priceless to me.

but seriously Auto. a $25 gift Cert? whats the point.

"Thanks for your Service Sir. We appreciate you putting your life on the line"

"oh by the way we had this sitting on a desk under a stack of relocation notices and we figured were probably not going to need it. no outback in Winnipeg"

That's exactly what i was thinking too. They may as well have thrown in a free hair cut from The Hair Cuttery while they were at it. :mmph:

Well, the Coyotes dropped another one after suffering from a bad case of propeller lag...

Yes I completely agree with you.

I'm just not sure about the writers intentions.

Actually, I'm just not sure about anyones intentions when they twizzle...

Oh man, I'm using that one if you don't mind!

yeah twitter never gives enough to get a true word with such a short message

I can remember almost every line from that movie. My mind is really going. I blame the kids mostly...

That's pretty much my biggest beef. Text messaging can be the same way.

Hopefully they bought him a Greyhound ticket so he could get too and from the game.

I don't think they've hit "Major League" bad yet. I mean the league is paying the bills. Awhile back the Islanders had an 18 million dollar payroll & were flying commercial. Yes they were truly the laughingstalk of the league then.

It was probably only good for 24 hours and needed to be used in a state on the east coast.

That's an insult and they would have been better off with just the honor and leave it at that.

Correction, It probably had to be used at an OutBack in Kabul.

Those guys have to be tired. Playing hockey and working the concessions in between periods must be exhausting.

Does Burpee sell seeds for those? Available at Home Depot?
