Gary Bettman and NHL Unhappy Over Expansion Turnout.

[obxyankeefan]

Had no idea that they were that far in on an NHL franchise.

I think the league would consider them but being on the east coast hinders them when there are two gold mines in Quebec City and Toronto just waiting for the league to start mining.

Personally I hope they do not get a team, because the people in the area will not support them once the newness wears off.

I too am surprised there were not more groups poised to cough up a couple million for an application fee to a league that has not even officially decided to e expand.
Cheap bastards!

contract the panthers, bring the nord back

agreed, keep hockey out of deserts...i hate it in the south as it is.

to me, if you cant make ice naturally where you are, no hockey for you.

"the dubai water polo team is amazing"

Welcome to the 21st century where we CAN make ice wherever the fuck we please.

All us hockey fans in the south appreciate it

hockey has no business in the desert or the deep south.

like baseball has no business in greenland.

You forget all the people who relocate here. Hockey is growing here. Shit, the #1 pick of the upcoming draft is from AZ.

I hope Rock doesn't blow a gasket when he finds out the number 1 draft pick in the 2016 entry draft was born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Edit: Beaten to the punch by Sarge.

doesnt matter.

jim paek was from korea, and the NHL isnt there.

 

[Rock Strongo]

as a traditionalist who grew up playing on the icy ponds of central mass, then thru bantams, juniors, and college...

i just dont like seeing hockey in an unnatural place.

like a desert.

They'll be there in 2018 for the Winter Olympics.

Dumb. Players are used to certain aspects of an indoor court. A backdrop. Lights. No breeze or elements. Pointless effort in futility to try and play like that. Gimmicky.

I agree completely. Cannot wait until the NHL stops with the garbage outdoor games.

after going to Vegas recently and understanding the location of the arena I really think it has a chance to work there at the correct ticket price point

Kid Poker agrees with you.

 

[buffhockey]

..and the 13,500+ prospective season ticket holders also think so.

FYI - 134 days until the new arena is open.

Kid Poker agrees with you.

Best poker player ever.

He's definitely gotta be in the top 5 along with guys like Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, and Phil Ivey. Just missed the final table at the World Series of Poker Main Event this year (finished 11th).

Edit: This guy rounds out (get it) my top 5

I think Teddy KGB would be a better NHL coach than Torts is right now.
