I'm calling may 5th, 2 years to the day that Jerry Moyes attempted to blow it up.. we will hear the announcement that the NHL will close.

We'll see what happens. This is a step in the right direction for the team staying in Phoenix (which I'd personally hate, but I'm not in this thread to get into a pissing match over who deserves this team). Interesting that Goldwater's initial stance tended to focus on the legality of the bond sales, but now have seemingly backpedaled a bit, indicating that if the numbers are adjusted they'd have to take another look.

Also interesting is the NHL's claim that the GWI's vocal presence has substantially cooled off the bond sale, but that they themselves have not considered them a factor as to whether to move forward or not. I personally don't buy that, but that's just me.
