Yes, that is the type of headline that would pull me out of retirement to blog.
Early this morning, I read a great blog post by Puck Daddy. The post was about the Phoenix Coytes possibly being controlled by the NHL, since February. I sent a tweet (follow me: theonlysandman) about that this post. It was then pulled from Yahoo! about one hour later. It would appear that someone is trying to stop this story.
This a HUGE DEAL since the Coytes have taken on a bunch of crappy salaries at the deadline. If the ‘yotes where to go bankrupt after taking on these bad salaries… well, I think the courts would have something to say about that…
The biggest question I have is, why was this well written and informative blog post taken down?
I have made a PDF of this post so you can read it here your self… Coyotes being run by the NHL (pdf).
UPDATE, 5:45pm Just found out that the Arizona Central is covering the NHL’s loan to the Phoenix Coyotes. Where there is smoke there is fire… look out Mr. Suck… you might be on slippery ground.
Typical NHL, another example of of inept this league is and what the person at the helm is actually incompetent as well. Balsille will never get a team as long as Asshole Bettman is in charge. Like Jaws 3, “this is personal.”
Get the team to Canada where hockey is adored. America loves its football & baseball.
It’s too bad we have a” Dictator”running the NHL!Bettman will do his darnest to try and prevent RimJim from having a team.I only hope Jim stands his ground and and doesn’t give in to that little weasle.Bettman would kiss someone’s ass if he thought it would help him get the upper hand on Balsille.Too bad he hasn’t got Jim’s smarts!In the mean time he’s a good B’ser and we can only hope that the light blub will eventually go on for the NHL owners.
