No deadline set for Coyotes new franchise

[DaBoltsNIsles]

majority owner of the coyotes if the "jamison" sale goes through is an Indian band with plans for a resort casino outside Gelndale

Shane Doan will be dealing pai gow

Tohono O?Odham tribe emerges as key player in Coyotes sale - The Globe and Mail

Don't laugh at the Indian Casinos. Even the small towns in Arizona have Indian Casinos. They make a fortune.

Bill Daly to Fan 590: "We aren't at a point where we're willing to call Phoenix a failure."


I repeat "We aren't at a point where we're willing to call Phoenix a failure."

He must have been talking about the city of Phoenix then and not the Coyotes.

If the NHL tried this hard to keep the team in Winnipeg in the first place the team never would have left.

I think the pressure is on to get this deal signed, sealed and delivered before the November civic election in Glendale. If you can use the polls as any indication, there could be a completely new council in Glendale and the majority of them do not like the deal that the current council has made with Jamison.

Huh, imagine that.

When people are pissed off they vote you out it that's simple. Water & Road construction are more important to people than a hockey team.

Those people have got their priorities all messed up down there.

Have you been living in a drought for the past 6 or 7 years? People are ticked off about 50 million dollars being taking away from the coffers for a hockey team when it was supposed to be used for roads & water.

Is your sarcasm detector not functioning correctly?

And for the record...if you live in a fucking desert you should be prepared for the fact that water could be a bit scarce.

You're missing the point. The people of Glendale don't give a rats ass about the Coyotes. The team actually promotes trips to Canadian fans in Calgary, Edmonton & Vancouver. Hey Western Canada come to Glendale & see your team play.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

what the fuck is your point??? ever??? lol

My point is this GET THE FUCKING COYOTES OUT OF GLENDALE NOW!!

That's fine, ignore the post where I actually responded to your post.

And why shouldn't they promote trips to people in Canada? In Western Canada (Calgary and Edmonton especially) it gets really fucking cold in the winter. And you know what, in Phoenix, it's not so cold. Hmm....come some place warm and watch hockey at the same time. It's a reasonable marketing strategy.

I love it when there are 3,000 - 4,000 Flames fans at Jobing.com (similar numbers for Oilers and Canucks fans when their team is in town). Aside from the howling Coyote (I hate that, by the way), it's tough to tell who scored if you're not watching the game.

They realize this. That's why giviing the NHL 25 million dollars that was supposed to be used for Water ticks the people of Glendale off.

On most nights it's tough to tell which team has more fans in the stands. There are a lot of people from Michigan in Arizona. When the Red Wings come to town they support their team very well.

Interim city manager Horatio Skeete (now that's a great moniker) outlines different scenarios for Glendale (they also have a spring training ball park that's drawing funds from city coffers):
