Captain Floater demoted to third line and DD on the 4th. Fucking finally.

Savage. Even Therrien has abandoned him.

Therrien knows what he's doing though

Get out of here with your commie hoodoo voodoo stats!

Seriously though, isn't that a case for advanced stats being hogwash? Patches "leads" the team, yet anyone who has watched a Habs game this year can tell you he's been atrocious.

Those are completely new lines, yes.

Pavel Buchnevich had an MRI for his "back spasms" today. No structural damage, but he needs 2-3 weeks of rehab before he can return.

Playing the Penguins with 0 real lines is not turning out very well. Who could have guessed? Maybe this wasn't the game to turn to the panic mode line scrambler, AV.

And we get to do this again in two days!

looooooooool

Though, I'll say from an AZ perspective, technically the coyotes are a good business driver.

I'd say AZ gets between 10-15 million a year from taxes of the players playing there... and that's excluding anything the coyotes players do in their respective cities and any other additional business from people travelling there for games, etc.

$200 million from a state perspective would be safe in a 10 year timeline... otherwise you will be losing that $200 million if they leave anyways.

A lot of the manufacturing would be done in state so that $200 million essentially returns most of it to AZ.

Financially speaking, it's better to invest instead of letting them leave. Though a city shouldn't be giving money for sports facilities... glendale,,. Arizona directly taxes these peeps and can recover their losses. Glendale couldn't because they have absolutely zero methods to directly recover that money.
A lot of the people "traveling there for games" already live there. There are a lot of transplants in Phoenix. Investing $200M in a team that doesn't draw for shit and loses tens of millions of dollars every year is just stupid. Arizona could take that $200M and invest in something like infrastructure. Puts people to work which brings in tax revenue and improves living conditions in the area.
