Our media thinks this guy is a stud who is Worth Cowan, 1st+++. Sunbelt players get ridiculously overrated.

I think the Rags are compensating. They are still traumatized from Tom Wilson beating up the whole team a couple years ago.

What actually caused this though? Carryover from their last game? Something during the pregame warmups?

The likelihood of this getting built in any of our lifetimes is about the same as Elon Musk's Mars colony.

Oh man that's sweet. Tickets are going to be was easier to give away for free in that barn.

It's the same idea as the Leafs building a new arena and putting it on the north edge of Markham.
The problem with being in Glendale wasn't the building. Maybe I'm a transit nazi, but when you have 41 home dates a year to sell, you don't want to make it hard to get to the building.

The other funny bit here in particular is the Coyotes declaring “the wait is over”, when this is just them trying to restart the clock on a brand new lengthy wait.
First, the auction for the land they propose to build this on takes place in late June. So first and foremost, they’re looking to kick the can down the road until then—at which point, whether they win the auction or not, it’ll be too late for the team to get relocated for the 2024/25 season.
Then even if they do win the auction, the wait for them to come up with the funds for the land, come up with the funds for the arena and get approvals to build could be stretched out for years, without even considering how long it’d take on top of that from getting shovels in the ground to the arena being completed.
The question as always is whether Bettman’s going to continue to let them get away with it. And whether the NHLPA will continue to tolerate 23 of its members having a home rink and facilities comparable to what the pee wee players in West Bumblefuck, Saskatchewan have after winning “Hockeyville” on Sportsnet.

A Montreal buddy was talking about the Expos the other day and said this was the main reason the franchise failed.
