ATTN NHL Fans: Coyotes to Seattle is Plan B?

[twisted_steel2]

Watching the "Coyotes" search on Twitter is quite the mixed bag. One thing's for sure: things moved too damn fast for any optimism the team's staying put there. Tonight's the night! Don't break my heart again, NHL.

Yea, I'm watching #coyotes and #nhlseattle

No one knows what is going on! All over the map on comments.

I'm just trying hard not to get pissed at getting used all over again before it actually happens. Do you know how hard it is to use a keyboard with your fingers crossed like this?

You guts are wasting your time and effort. We aren't getting jack. We suck. I want to jump off a bridge.

 

[twisted_steel2]

Probably.

I told myself not to get involved, to not waste my time.

But somehow I started reading, following news.... funny I didn't even realize how much I was doing it. Son of a B! :evil:

I really wish you would with your whining ass

The CoG is going to vote yes on a counter-proposal that the prospective owners already called a non-starter. The NHL will announce that they are forced to relocate and as Seattle NHL fans start celebrating, the coyotes quietly move to Quebec City. I can already see it.

That's my second-worst fear. I'd love to see hockey back in Quebec City, but not at the expense of Seattle.

Come on, it' stupid to start celbrating before we got skates on the ice, people. Not to mention blood and teeth and colon fragments.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Sounds delicious!

"Guys we are totally going to get more people to come to game by charging more for tickets and parking!" - actual people in Glendale

 

[Throwdown]

Oh God! PARKING! Parking killed us on the Kings to Seattle deal!

Glendal & Sacramento must love to park.

This taken during the heat of the city council debate on keeping the Coyotes in Glendale.

Waiting anxiously, but won't be too upset if this doesn't work out. For me this feels way different than the Sonics did - and at this point I actually care far more about the NHL than the NBA. I think it's been clear enough that we are a backup plan that I won't feel jilted if the city re-ups with their team. Good for them if they do, but I'll be sad.

I don't think Bettman will move the team to Quebec City rather than Seattle. He has ALWAYS had an issue with increasing the number of Canadian teams, and it is not in keeping with his MO to relocate an American team to Canadian soil.

 

[425HawkSpark]

With this we really are a football town. No NBA,NHL. Our MLB is crap for a decade. 8 managers later. And soccer doesn't count I mean come on watching 90 min and get a 0-0 tie, I'm done right there. And which one of you guys are gunna tell me you watch the storm.

 

[Throwdown]

I'M SO CONFUSED! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

I'M SO CONFUSED! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

Looks like the Kings are staying in Sacramento

Right now, Sherwood, Knaack, Martinez and Chavira probably the yes votes. Should pass 4-3 unless one of the four changes mind. #coyotes


Apparently a council member against it said "I know it's going to pass" during her speech
