Members Zeppelin Rules Posted April 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2012 Damn, 'Yotes denied a chance to move on by losing in OT! BUT theres a chance they'll stay in AZ!! Good news, despite the loss! If that guy is also involved with the Sharks, makes you wonder who corporate is going to cheer for when they meet in the playoffs. I don't know how i feel about one entity owning more than one team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you serious, they managed to keep that team there? Jesus Christ, I don't care WHERE they relocate to, just... out of Arizona, for {censored}s sake.

Members Keebz Posted April 22, 2012 Members Share Posted April 22, 2012 I should read more up on the subject for recent news, but for what I have read, it doesn't make business sense to keep them there. I know there has been talk of getting them to the greater Toronto area(was it Hamilton?) and concern was expressed for having another team too close too Toronto. I still believe that they should reform the Nordiques. The NHL must want to keep them here. Since the start of the Gretzky debacle, all we've heard here is "Coyotes are moving", "Coyotes looking for a new buyer" etc,...I think over the years I've just tuned them out. It didn't help that they were a {censored}ty team either... I hope they stay! Of all the sports around here, I've attended more Coyotes games! The pace of the game is just so much faster than others!

Members ENdtime Posted April 22, 2012 Members Share Posted April 22, 2012 What a shot by Toews.. That guy is one if the most determined players in the league. When he got the puck with a little time and room, I knew he wouldn't make a mistake with it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed man. Indeed. That team should be in Hamilton...actually Pittsburgh should have been there but, that's going back past most people's short-term memory so best to leave it alone.

If Regina can support the CFL to the tunbe of 25,000+ a game, there's no reason they can't have the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members iff Posted April 23, 2012 Members Share Posted April 23, 2012 After the way that city reacts after losses, I want them to never win and for Montreal to never win again.I'm not sure, but I think he meant 'if Regina can do the CFL then Hamilton can do the NHL'. I checked earlier out of curiosity and Hamilton's arena, Copps Coliseum, can seat ~19 000, so that could actually work. I still have no clue how they'd manage the traffic though.

They can build a barn. It's beyond asinine that a city the size of Regina has no NHL-sized rink/team yet COLUMBUS OHIO does. OK, actually I just checked. Regina's way smaller than I thought.

Wow, I didn't think Regina was that small. Saskatoon isn't even 1/4 million people. I wonder who decides whether a location is financially viable. Saint Paul Minnesota isn't more than 300k people.

Members Harvest Posted April 23, 2012 Members Share Posted April 23, 2012 The Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon is a 14K seater... that's closer. About the same size as the MTS Centre I think in Winnipeg. As for size... Calgary and Edmonton were about that size (250K) when the Flames & Oilers came to Alberta in the late 70s.

Members iff Posted April 24, 2012 Members Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ottawa really fell apart after that first Rangers goal. And that last goal. Judging by the way he reacted on the bench with the trainer afterwards, pretty sure Callahan broke a finger on his left hand blocking a shot.

Saint Paul Minnesota isn't more than 300k people. 300K is probably the "city proper" population of the downtown core, it's surrounding population of the Twin Cities is over 3 million, big difference.
