The Battle Of Balsillie

[jhi82]

Phoenix to Winnipeg

Tampa to Hamilton

Carolina to Hartford

Atlanta to Quebec

KC, Seattle get expansion teams or other failing franchises

my take but only if the arenas are brought up to 18,000+ seats with 100+ skyboxs or more to make money.

[thebig1]

@jhi82 Your an idiot. None of that is going to happen. Furthuremore Carolina is one of the most successful NHL teams over the last number of years no way they should be moved. Atlanta is staying put to because I like them where they are and so does the NHL. If your going to maske posts make realistic posts not stupid ones.

[jhi82]

@thebig1 Carolina ranks 21st out of 30 by Forbes thats with a 11 year old arena. I didn't say when Carolina should move. I like to see Hartford get there Whalers back. Plus with the Coyotes leaving Phoenix in the near future. My guess, and other good sources there will be other teams leaving for the stronger Canadian dollar.

[thebig1]

@jhi82 The Coyotes are not leaving Phoenix AT ALL. If they were do you really think Bettman and the NHL would have been so public about and so hawkish about how the new owner SHOULD KEEP THE TEAM IN PHOENIX? No my fgriend the Coyotes are going nowhere and as sad as it is Hartford will never see the NHL again. Hartford should feel blessed they even have the AHL.

[FAITHandLOGIC]

@thebig1 Your Yotes are about to find their asses in court so I wouldn't get so high and mighty on yourself. They're headed for Winnipeg while the Trashers are headed for Quebec.

[thebig1]

@FAITHandLOGIC I'm not a coyotes fan. I live in Houston and I'm a fan of the AHL Houston Aeros. I love my aeros and would pick them over the NHL anyday. This situation with the Coyotes is very weird but in the end if Bettman wants something it will be that way and he has all but said the Coyotes are not leaving phoenix.

[FAITHandLOGIC]

@thebig1 I'm glad you're happy with the Aeros. As for Phx, Bettman has said many times that they are not leaving Phx but the issues in Glendale are out of the NHL's hands. The NHL does not dictate what is legal or illegal in accordance with the AZ State Gift Clause.

Whether or not GWI decides to sue the CoG has no influence from the NHL. Bottom line is that the NHL will not continue as owner of this club for another season. It has to end now.

[thebig1]

@FAITHandLOGIC I don't know but there was recently a court decision and the court basiclty allowed Bettman to do as he wished. So I guess Bettman is above the law in this case.

[FAITHandLOGIC]

@thebig1 That was the Balsillie trial where he was basically trying to sue his way into the NHL. This is different because the City of Glendale is trying to subsidize $197 million to Matt Hulsizer to buy the team and keep it in

Glendale. The potential law suit does not include the NHL. It's a tax-watchdog group considering litigation against the city for breaking the Gift Clause of the Arizona Constitution. The NHL has no power there.

[lakesidepark2112]

Should have been called The Hamilton Steelheads (as in the tv series Power Play on CTV). Ohh well. Good effort. Good luck to Quebec in trying to get theirs back.

[danielgirotto]

Obvious the judge had to be a lazy ass, seems too good to be true, too much hype, too much hope, too much attention all for shit. Fuck it, have fun losing $200m this year Phoenix.

[jman01696969]

i'm from Hamilton and i'm telling you that the true is and always has been, the the smart hockey fans that live here like me already knew we weren't getting the team or any team because as long as Bettman is in charge of the NHL he will never let a team come here because of the Leafs plus he hates Canada.

[IchooseUfc2]

City of glendale is goign arne't going have a team either way. if bettman and nhl win they will sell it outside bankruptcy and what they do if balsillie just bids on other team. Jb won't give up. He type person that doesn't

[jared4wally]

and now bettmen want's get the jets back to live.

[JohnSmithIsAmazing]

Gary Bettman HATES canada.thats why he got rid of hockey in QC and Winipeg.

[jared4wally]

gary betmen is a ass hole he got 2 lock out all ready in the nhl 95 and 2004. if we the jets and Quebec Nordiques we well have them today if thay have no lock out back in 95 that why bettmwn is a ass hole he think that us star nhl in 1916 but it was canada. do you know that us pepole like to make money them go to sprots games and canada like sports thay don't care of money we canadaians fans like hockey more then us.

[Ruckus2010eh]

Sweet tune!

Take care eh!

[LubinNation]

cool

[guitarwiz2000]

Excellent!

[slodrive]

Let's Go Tigers!!! Eat 'em raw!

(Maybe we can send Daly and Bettman some tickets to be honourary guests in the Endzone section of Ivor Wynne.)

[rcino]

What does everyone think the team should be called? Many people like the Tigers but Coyotes is appropiate. We do have coyotes in Hamilton.

[Ruckus2010eh]

haha Hamilton Pride :)

[azac69]

Hamilton Hammers

[ShortStoriesByRyan]

i hope canada gets their 7th team. any canadian team vs any other canadian team is great hockey!

[mortamerq]
