Our own arena would be full EVERY GAME at over 15000 and it's considered to not have enough seats by NHL standards. Nevermind that the tickets would rival other Canadian teams in cost and beer would cost 11 bucks per glass.
It was even full for some junior games, such as when big prospects like Crosby would be in town. I bet the game tickets cost even more than those for a few southern NHL teams in the south.
Only a prideful cretin ready to destroy his sport would put an ice hockey team in the middle of the bloody desert and hope for success. He barely even tried to negotiate before starting the damn lock out.
Relocation to Phoenix was based off of three things:
- The lack of support to Winnipeg (despite whatever you might have heard, the Jets averaged less than the Coyotes now until the relocation talk started)
- The lack of any owner due to the lack of financial sense to stay, especially with the Canadian dollar being weak
- The existence of an owner ready to pay a large amount to be in one of the largest metropolitan areas in North America
Pretending it's some evil scheme is easy. However expansion and relocation plans had already existed before Bettman. He was just there when it happened.
-
I can understand a few California teams, Florida gets all the snowbirds and at least the Texas team was almost always successful.
But for the love of hockey please let the Coyotes do like what the Thrashers and the Flames before them did.
And who gets them? Quebec?
The best thing that ever happened to that team was moving to Colorado. and not just because it let them get Roy
The next expansion/relocation will be Seattle. Then mayyyybe Quebec. If it's a two team expansion for their realignment.

It's not like you can tell what brands they are from the picture.

Poor Pilot. Nobody will believe him.>:
could it take four more yearswho the hell is going to invest on a team that gets 8000 attendance for home games

soon they're going to pay people to watch the games

Oh hey it wasn't just my computer.
Also, proof of my hockey playing

Hey, there's one good thing about this. Your negative luck stat hasn't killed you...yet. Hopefully it stays that way.
Indeed.
I actually haven't broken a bone yet, either.
A number of other painful injuries, though, such as shoulder dislocation a few times.

Oh you
Who knows, with all that bad luck, it's bound to someday reach the cap and wrap-around back to positive values.
Unless they are positively negative still.
Reminds me of Marthur recommending that avatar for me.
I notice many peoples' lack of activity =<
Hi Fre.

So romantic. Even if she doesn't stop his misfortune completely, they will suffer through his misfortune together and get through it.
*Insert ship pic here*
I'm too lazy to get it.
We've joked about that quite often
Will they?

Ever heard of the pied piper of Hamelin?
Indeed, but what does that tale have to do with anything?
OMG YOU WENT THROUGH THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD BASES AND SCORED A TOUCH DOWNhehehehehedon't get me started on phoenix's sixteen goals allowed in four games
Ridiculous indeed. Don't know how they managed to lose that game yesterday.
-
Are they effective?
The good luck charm? Yes, she's quite effective.

A bird came in through the window and pooped in my soup! DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS
My apologies, sir, but how would I be able to control the actions of aves?
-
Hey there.
Good day.
I should, your presence made me break some crystal glasses!
Or was it a coincidence?
Surely simply a coincidence, my good man.
Just random chance.
panthers suckdammit dio also stupid injuries and losing Garrison/Not having Kulikov till now
-
Who are you?
No one you need concern yourself with, Dildo Virgin.
I noticed your lack of activity.
What have you been up Avatar of Misfortune?
Been spending time with my good luck charm from distant lands.
-
Yo Pilot.
Yo.
*poke*
Ow.
-
Don't worry guys, I didn't die.
But you probably forgot about me anyways.
-
Gotta love being gone for work for 14 straight hours.
My legs are still sore.
-
Um perhaps I could try tomorrow!
Make it so.
I'll be too busy working
-
Not even Stan Lee himself could save us now.
He also can't get me out of jury duty
bleh
Boo, jury duty.
M-maybe this thread needs a party??
Or another contest?
Or another personality quiz?
Or another something else??
But... also I'm going asleepy but hopefully this place gets less boring soon anyway! ;A;
Find something for us to do, Fre!
-
I've come to save this Thread from boredom!
Excelsior!
...
yeah, that's all I got
-
Have you worked midnight-8 yet.
While I have not, I have worked 3-11.
I preferred it.
-
I despise these shifts. 1-9. Otherwise known as 'burn the whole day.'
Especially because I have to leave at 12 and get back at 10.
-
Lovely.
I'm finally starting to get used to everything in the department I work in and actually like my coworkers so far. And now I hear that my brother will probably be moving over as the main supervisor to that department and I'll have to be switched.
-
So how about a concussion?
The helmet was used in college and has puck marks
If I get a concussion from pick-up games/eventual adult league play that's going to be ridiculous
Nothing shall get in your way!!!
Indeed
Rather I'll be getting in everything's way.
haha yess Pilot
Thank you.
Looks like fun.
Yep
Throwing yourself in front of ~80 mph pieces of frozen rubber.
Your body may be ready, but does your luck...?
That's what the pads are for

I love the belief that the location of the place really matters. And yet teams like Tampa and Florida have more people attending than New Jersey, Boston, New York (Rangers and Islanders), Edmonton, and obviously Winnipeg.
Holding a grudge because they took 'your team' is no reason to hide your eyes from successes and hold on to flaws (or perceived flaws) like a madman. That's why I tend to roll my eyes at a lot of the 'TEAMS SHOULD ONLY EXIST CHICAGO UPWARD' people.
Not to mention if the NHL followed the logic people use now about which teams should move, no original six/original expansion team would exist. In case you've forgotten, Chicago averaged less than 10,000 pre-Towes. So did Pittsburgh pre-Crosby. And Boston just a few years ago.
Winnipeg and Quebec weren't even filling their tiny arenas. It'll start happening again once the 'honeymoon' for the team is over, unless they win the Cup soon. Like 2 years soon. Give them a Florida-like playoff drought? Oooooh boy.
