CP fundraiser to buy the Coyotes?

We establish a corporation, CP polls chooses the name. First 100 people to kick in 50 bucks get to join the ownership group. All money goes to legal and bureaucratic fees, and for a real cool official-looking backdrop poster for the press conference.

We agree to assume ownership of the team, in exhange for assuming all present and future liabilities.

We basically **** around with the team for a year. Demand that management make ridiculous but entertaining trades and signings. Make it a season goal to have the shortest first line in NHL history (we're coming for YOU Montreal). Re-sign Gretzky and demand that he play. Goalie. Ridiculous fan night offers ("Show your season ticket stubs, get to pick who BizNasty fights!")

Then go bankrupt.

You laugh, but what do you think Katz is doing?

1) Love Phoenix
2) The Kachina Style uni's really caught my attention.. still love them!
3) I went to a Coyotes/Avs playoff game in 2000

For what it's worth, Jamison/NHL/Glendale/Coyotes will meet this week

I think i've matured quite a bit actually.. glad to see you're still a bitter human though.

Some things/people don't change

Poe969 · 09-05-2011, 08:24 AM

Thinking of submitting my bid for the yotes as well...

anyone elese wanna help bring them back to Canada?

PegCityFlamesFan · 09-05-2011, 09:02 AM

Don't overpay

Ryan Coke · 09-05-2011, 09:19 AM

Here's hoping they stay. Really enjoy going to games down there, and actually quite a good atmosphere.

Definitely my second favorite team.

Jordan! · 09-05-2011, 11:51 AM

It's impossible to get truly optimistic but I am liking how things are being handled now.

Rather than the buyer working with Glendale, they are working directly with the NHL and the NHL will go to Glendale with the buyer (Which is happening this week)

I was hoping something would get done by camp but that's likely not going to happen.

Good for you, man. I mean, most people would recognize that that joke has been made a million times, and stopped being funny a long time ago. But you, you have the courage to step up and say "you know what? I'm going to post a tired joke, one more time!"

Unlike you who's first to point out "that's been said, that's been said!!!"

I guess we all have our roles to play in this world.

Oh snap!

Aww, Poe made a friend. First time for everything!

Any reason you're carrying around American change? You realize ours is worth more now, they probably won't mind the deal being done in 'monopoly money'.

Jordan! · 09-05-2011, 05:27 PM

WPG gets a team.. and this still happens?

Coyotes are Houston, KC or Seattle bound if we aren't sold this year.

The NHL isn't losing another U.S. market.

What happens? Do you mean the jokes about Phoenix?

As was mentioned last year, this has little or nothing to do with Winnipeg or 'Canadian vs. American'. It has to do with fans sick of the whole ongoing saga and worried about the strength of the league.

Resolute 14 · 09-05-2011, 05:59 PM

Oh no, it has A LOT to do with Canadian inferiority complex vs. those evil American monsters who "stole" our teams/hate our country.

And even after Winnipeg got their team, that still holds true. Case in point, Steve MacFarlane's asinine article a couple weeks ago about about the supposed best markets available. (Even if it was in response to an even more asinine "study" about same.)

If it is not about nationalism explain all the Winnipeg posters that are STILL trolling every single Coyotes news article posted on the Arizona Republic. They got their team... why are they still there? Should make the first home game against Winnipeg interesting.

Resolute 14 · 09-05-2011, 07:06 PM

As I said, it is about inferiority complex. Winnipegers will never forgive Phoenix because the former owner of a Jets team sold out because of a great many factors, including lack of fan support. On the wider picture, many Canadians have built up so many delusions about how and why the Jets and Nordiques went south that there is no reasoning with them. The reality is that it is not about nationalism. Those "fans" try to dress it up with the flag because they figure that that justifies their pitiful behaviour.

We all know Phoenix is very likely a lost cause. Just let the people with money waste other people's money until the game is over, and move on.

PegCityFlamesFan · 09-05-2011, 07:09 PM

I don't know why anyone would care from Winnipeg, I for one am glad us getting a team doesn't rely on Gongdale anymore, that circus was too much for me.

TorqueDog · 09-05-2011, 07:11 PM

My personal viewpoint on this is the fact that this entire thing is a complete farce. The fact that it has carried on this long and the process has burned through this many interested parties says what everyone has been saying all along: the team just won't work in Glendale.

Then stop posting about it if you don't like the reaction. God damn, you're a real sucker for punishment, aren't you?
