Call we just buy them and bring them to Hartford?
Wait what should we call them if we do.
Off-topic:
Currently dealing with an issue at work with regards to a client. Not to get into detail, but he gave me an ultimatum that if he doesn't get his way, we'll have to find a different solution to the issue. I told the client that he is responsible for his own shit and that I just facilitate whatever he decides on.
His email to me in response:
"Hi Quick,
Let me know
Thanks,
Client"
Let you know what? What the fuck. :lol

I was kind of leaning towards Bismarck, North Dakota myself, but sure, we could do whatever we want with them!
Wow. Offensive.

I'm glad the Canadian hockey community is so inclusive and tolerant of fans from non-traditional markets.

moving to phoenix would be a good idea
what does it have to do with tolerance? they're losing money every year
Move the Coyotes in Peru if you want to, as long as they're not losing money and have a decent attendance, I don't actually care about the where
if it works, sure why not

One opposite of "tolerance" is "hate"

What's that I smell?
Someone or someones want to fight?
No Kave, no one wants to fight.
Does this mean I'd have a job? If so, IN.
Save it for tomorrow nightWhat's that I smell?

That was a pretty bad draft class.
Neil Yakupov, Ryan Murray, Griffin Reinhart, Slater Koekkoek, etc have been pretty big disappointments.

Babcock doesn't seem high on Panik. He had an okay year last year. But I don't see him as an important piece of the rebuild either.
Corrado over Panik though...sounds like a lateral move.
I wish Harrington had made the team.

The Coyotes have had plenty of opportunities to prove themselves as a viable traditional market and they've failed to have a profitable year since they've come to Arizona.
At some point you gotta cut your losses and try elsewhere. It has nothing to do with tolerance.

I think winking should be against the law.
If the NHL really wants the Coyotes to stick around, they really should move them back to Phoenix. Cut a deal with Talking Stick Resort Arena to host them again.
The league allowed the Jets and Islanders to move into smaller venues (with Barclays Center having shitty sightlines), so they're clearly not opposed to that idea.

Corrado is a defenceman so I don't know how that can be a lateral move from Panik
Harrington did make the team, btw. Him being sent down is temporary while Panik is picked up or sent down.

A lot of Canadians want more teams in Canada, so they get disproportionately angry about struggling franchises in the States. I don't think it's particularly fair, but what are you going to do?
Edit: lol, who is Roy winking at there?
Glendale is super close to Phoenix, so not sure what that changes?
Glendale to Phoenix is like Burnaby to Vancouver. It takes 24 mins to drive from Phoenix to Glendale.
The Jobing arena is right beside the University of Phoenix stadium.
The last thing I want is those dirty Nordiques back, I don't necessarily want more teams in Canada.

Most Canadians seem to think it's high time Toronto got an NHL team.
Clearly it's not working as well as both Glendale and the NHL were hoping. So why not move them back to downtown Phoenix proper.

Didn't know so many NHL GAFfers had financial stakes in the NHL as a whole. You guys must be rich to be so concerned about the league's financial performance.
Tales from your ass. On a typical weeknight, it's a 45 minute - 1:15 commute from downtown Phoenix to Glendale. From Scottsdale, where the money is, it's over an hour.
"Super close" my ass. Get out of here.

To be fair to the rest of the posters, the cap is tied to H.R.R. (Shudder) so when Phoenix and Florida don't sell out, the cap goes down and teams might have to get rid of players they otherwise would have kept.
I emailed to clarify if he meant, and he's still sticking with his ultimatum. My boss won't budge on it, so I just told him that he'll need to deal with finding a solution to his problems by himself.
Not tales from my ass. Been to Phoenix multiple times. I stayed in Scottsdale. I visited Glendale. Phoenix is super easy to navigate due to those highways. You go Highway 10 then Highway 101.
Maybe during rush hour, but not at 6:30pm to get to the game.
Also I did that commute time using google maps by doing directions from jobing arena to downtown phoenix.
Has nothing to do with Glendale and everything to do with that entire city / area. Nobody in Arizona gives a fuck about hockey except snowbirds in Scottsdale. Worst market choice.

Ok then. You certainly know more than the locals that, you know, actually live there. Good to know that the drive from downtown took me and others a lot less time than, you know, it actually does.
Oh come on. All I did was share an outlook on the season and, as expected, a response like this comes out.

Not only that, but who the hell plans on getting to the game 1 minute before the puck drops?
Game times in Arizona are 7PM, sometimes 7:30.
Westgate, where the rink is, has a ton of great places to hang out at before the game. They also allow tailgating in the lot for certain games if you want. So in order to get there with an hour to spare to get game ready, you have to leave Phoenix or Scottsdale at 4:30-5 and hope no traffic is in the way.
But if you have a job and/or family to take, it makes it impossible to get there with any kind of cushion.
If the rink was in an urban area, like it used to be when they were at America West, there's a much bigger pool of fans that can get there.
But hey Google Maps tells me its close, so the people there just suck.
Say what?
You realize who you're quoting right
