NHL cash call like prostate exam
Awkward, necessary and over quickly

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/spe...119947034.html

According to Free Press sources, the NHL and True North Sports and Entertainment continue to talk and investigate the possibility of relocating the Phoenix Coyotes to Winnipeg. Before any deal between True North and the NHL can be completed, the league will want to exhaust every one of its dwindling options in Arizona.

The NHL determines who gains entrance into its club. Maybe they have different rules for different markets and maybe that rubs some of us the wrong way. But that’s the reality and we have to get our head around it. That will be up to Winnipeg. If we don’t like having a gun to our head we can just take a pass.

But kicking up a fuss and railing against the injustice of it all won’t change the final outcome.

Winnipeg is not getting an NHL team without demonstrating its viability as a market. End of story.
