nice work, Odin
getting someone in there provides much better coverage than the biased stories that will come out through the media.
Exactly. Have a small group in the room. Unfortunately I was off work too late.

Bring it up.
I hope that this team is relocated. Phoenix doesn’t deserve a team. If anyone deserves another team, it’s Canada.
So go beg the NHL for an expansion team instead of tryin to take ours
Hell, if you chumps are so rich and so good, why not ask them for 2.
With your ugly train of thought its a wonder you haven’t been relocated (Goodyear, AZ has some of the best empty lots and you could find yerself a$$ deep in one with that attitude)

Wow, what a crappy campign. Canada, brought hockey to the US. Now there, trashing hockey, and turning it into a joke. The CHL? Gimme a break.

I think it’s really important to make sure this debate really comes down to an overly-nationalistic battle between the entire Canadian nation and the United States.
Turning the NHL into an us vs. them battle over franchises is what made this sport so great in the first place.

Hey Odie!
Panger told everyone to check out www.savethecoyotes.com and to buy Keep it Six shirts on the Coyotes official Twitter.
Not sure if you’ve heard about this yet, but it’s pretty good promotion for our cause!
"Keep It Six"
really bothers me as a campaign. I’m not in favor of relocating ANY franchise, Phoenix included, as I mentioned before. But (like most hockey fans of more than a few years) I also think Gary Bettman is pretty much the worst thing that has ever happened to the sport. He gives Bud Selig a run for his money for worst commissioner in the history of ANY sport. That I happen to agree with his (current… where was his devotion to the North Stars? The Nordiques? The Jets? The Whalers?) opposition to relocating teams notwithstanding, he seems to have an almost pathological need to piss off Canadian fans. And while he’ll always be able to count on my generation’s business no matter how many things he screws up, alienating the fanbase that provides roughly a third of the league’s income is not a good idea.
I say make it eight. Abandon the jackass plans to put a team in Vegas. Leave the Coyotes – and the Islanders, and even the bloody Lightning, if ever there was a failure of a franchise it’s Tampa Bay – right where they are. And give expansions to Winnipeg and Hamilton. Everyone’s happy, Gary doesn’t look like an idiot (which is what the court battle is about as far as I can tell), southern hockey fans get to keep their teams, unserved and fanatical Canadian markets get teams, and the NHL makes a boatload of cash on the millions of embedded fans just waiting for a home team. Believe me, rooting for the Habs from Manitoba doesn’t cut it.
Great points all of them. I’m a Leafs fan in Toronto, I hate Bettman as much as the general population of my country but I’m not exactly hailing Balsillie as a hero either. The whole Make It Seven or Keep It Six campaign is exactly what I’m afraid would happen, that its start to polarize Canadian and American hockey fans against each other… its very bothersome and only hurts the game in general.
You’re also right on Tampa being a proven failure, even after winning the Cup and having success on the ice hasn’t turned their fortunes at all. The Panthers, Coyotes and Predators haven’t had much success (although the Preds had a brief streak) so I think its too early to write them off just yet. Even Carolina has turned around slowly since they won the Cup as well, so they’re a workable market.
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
I think Tampa would have become a great market if not for A) the lockout right after the Cup win, and B) the dismantling of the Cup team almost immediately thereafter.

I like it because it means “Keep it Six” right now. I think most hockey fans believe that there should be another team in Southwestern Ontario but it should be an expansion team.

And that’s exactly what i’m with PPP on. Keep it SIx, is a direct take of of make it seven. I’d say Keep it Six (for now) but it’s not the same. Mostly i’m in a position right now where if I annoy/tick people off that’s not great, but If I have no team what did it matter?

While I got that meaning,
being a rather avid reader of most of the SB nation blogs, my issue with it is in how confrontational it is. If this becomes a nationalistic thing in the minds of fans, it’s bad for the sport. Particularly if there’s justice and the team stays put in Phoenix. There’s already a relatively sizable (if not necessarily sane) denomination of people who feel Bettman’s NHL conspires against Canadian teams. If you put a potential relocation on nationalistic lines, when the team stays in Phoenix, you give that denomination all the more power.
Balsillie started it, but that doesn’t mean we need to fan the flames*. The rest of the hockey universe is supposed to be classier than that guy, after all.
(* As a Canucks fan, I far prefer kicking dirt on the Flames.)
If this becomes a nationalistic thing in the minds of fans, it’s bad for the sport.
All the “hockey belongs in Canada only and not in the States” sentiment in southern Ontario is really counter-productive in that more and more American hockey fans are seeing Canadian hockey fans as elitist, all this is going to do is turn off potential hockey fans in the United States.
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
That's
very true, and the campaign of “Make It Seven” is meant to be inflammatory. If people don’t fight back, however, it justifies his and others reasoning that there are “no” fans in the nontraditional markets.
You wanna cash out, and get the hell outta town. Don't be a baby, remember what you told me.
Bingo! The reason I feel I had to make the Keep it Six is because it’s a direct challenge of Balsillie’s campaign.

Fair Nuff
Also, Balsillie is really coming off (to me at least) as an ambulance-chaser, the guy goes after every American team that shows signs of financial struggle with promises of big payouts and portrays himself to the (Canadian) public as some sorta saint
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
Very true
he seems pathologically obsessed with finding a team to move to Canada. There are many villains in the sports world for moving their teams, but I think anyone would be hard pressed to find another person more devoted to moving any team possible.
You wanna cash out, and get the hell outta town. Don't be a baby, remember what you told me.
Big reason why I hate him, he’s absolutely preying on the misfortune of others, while I realize that is the most likely way of getting a second team to SWO or another Canadian team, I still don’t like it.
I would welcome an expansion franchise into Toronto with open arms but I loath the possibility of tearing a team away from their fans…
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
Well
beyond a few surface similarities, Basille and Bennett aren’t that comparable.
You wanna cash out, and get the hell outta town. Don't be a baby, remember what you told me.
Hmmm.
I suppose Bennett was much more two-faced and slimey about it all. At least Captain Blackberry is honest that he’s just going to move the team if he buys it. Bennett bought a team, BUTCHERED it, traded off all the best players, and then when fan interest slipped he insisted that it just wasn’t working and had to be moved.
I suppose if Balsillie had tried that approach the first time around he’d probably already have an NHL team. Years ago.
I'm
not sure this is the place for a long discussion about it, but I’d argue that Bennett went about it in a better way. He bought the team legally, attempted to find a new stadium situation (whether or not you believe how hard he tried is another issue entirely), and when all of his options failed, asked the NBA to move. The NBA said yes.
Balsillie, on the other hand, is trying every backdoor way to get a team possible and is resorting to potentially buying a team from someone who might not have had the legal ability to sell it. Throw in the fact that he doesn’t want to even attempt to keep whatever team he lands in the original market. Finally, the NHL doesn’t want the team moved, at least not at first, so even if he wanted to buy and move the Coyotes, he’d have to go through that obstacle.
They may be similar in morals, but we can only guess at Bennett’s motivations, whereas Balsillie is making his public. I guess there’s some honor in that.
You wanna cash out, and get the hell outta town. Don't be a baby, remember what you told me.
Like you said, it comes down to whether Bennett ever really paid more than lip service to keep the team in Seattle and I remember reading something to indicate that he didn’t.

I don't quite agree with that sentiment.
I don’t see not stooping to Balsillie’s level as justifying his kneejerk campaign. Make It Six IS going to be a galvanizing force for the wrong segment of people in Ontario if it catches on.
Not that fans have ANYTHING to do with relocating a franchise, unfortunate as it is. I’ve lived in three cities that had franchises moved in the last decade (Montreal and the Expos, Vancouver and the Grizzlies, Seattle and the Sonics), and what the fans say or don’t say has about as much to do with it as the position of the stars.
To be fair
I don’t see how any campaign to rally public support to move a team from the States to Canada isn’t going to be inflammatory
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
I suppose that's true.
Unfortunately. I really dislike how much emnity I’ve seen between American and Canadian fans over the last five or six years though. It seems to be growing, and I don’t like it.
And of course Balsillie’s trying to milk it for all it’s worth, which just makes me throw my hands up in the air. Maybe I’ll start watching KHL…
Exactly. If I get belittled just the same for doing this as for simply being a fan of the coyotes what’s the net loss?
I also dislike the Canadian/American divide. But I try and mend that as much as possible. As you can see, some of my best online supporters are people i’ve talked to from Toronto. It’s amazing that so many are supporting me right now:)

Maybe no net loss for you.
I just don’t like fanning flames. Maybe it’s the Nova Scotia in me. It’s impossible to be angry in Nova Scotia. I think they drug the water.
But you can count a Halifax native/Vancouver-Seattle resident among your supporters too. Someday the Canucks and Coyotes will meet in the playoffs. On that day I hope we still have Luongo signed.
You mean you don't like fanning every flame, don't you?
I had not frequented this blog until the past few days. Has it always been such a hotbed of anti-Ottawa opinions?
Is it rooted in the Kaigorodov or Nikulin deals?
To the issue of bandwagon fluctuations, I present facts, rather than ill-informed opinion.
Note the total attendance and capacity percentage numbers of our horrible fanbase that only supported the team until December 2007, as you seem to imply. I cannot speak to how many Sens sweaters you have anecdotally noticed in your arena – only to the facts and figures at my disposal.
With the loyal 5-4-Howling patronage of PPP and his brethren, it is understandable that you guys would reciprocate, so I commend you guys on being loyal to the Leafs fans who have shown you loyalty. It’s just too bad that Silver Seven’s relatively recent arrival has precluded more Sens fans from frequenting this blog.
Just keep in mind that 95% of the anti-Phoenix articles are originating from Toronto and its neighbors, while I have yet to read or meet a single person here in Ottawa who shares in Southern Ontario’s fervour to get a second team in their region.
PPP is a far more valuable ally to your cause than I, or any other Ottawan could be, given his widespread influence. I have much respect for him, despite his enthusiastic disdain for my adopted home and my neighbors and co-workers. It was borne of a heated rivalry that our two teams have shared, and thus is pure.
I would just like to point out that his current opinion on moving a team that is facing bankruptcy is a 180 degree about-face from six years ago, when my Sens were the team in question.
You'll find my opinion is quite consistent.
I was opposed to moving the Sens, the Pens, the Preds, the Jets, the Expos, the Sonics, the Grizzlies, the Nordiques, the North Stars, the Whalers…
…and so on. And believe me, the shifting standards aren’t lost on me. Ten/fifteen years ago Bettman was the champion of MOVING TEAMS IMMEDIATELY, no questions asked. And of course a lot of fans/potential fans will change their opinions depending on whether they stand to gain from a move or whether it’s a team they like in question.
I’ll yield the point to you on Ottawa attendance. They really have been one of the most remarkable back-and-forth cases in terms of fan presence when I’ve seen them on the road (in Montreal, Denver, and Vancouver). Purely anecdotal, as you’ve pointed out, and mostly tongue in cheek. No harm meant by it.
I believe
We wuz merely pointing out that Sens fans haven’t really built up a history of filling the opposition’s arena during away games, so chill.
Also, I would also like to point out that as much as you and I hate it, Ottawa and Toronto are generally lumped together by almost everyone outside of southern Ontario, because guess what, we’re both considered to be in southern Ontario.

I was unable to chill, having read a bunch of that Ottawa guy’s rants (before he announced that he was my neighbor), then scrolling down to more unecessary Ottawa bashing.
I was in a huff already, by the time I got down to those remarks.
Now that my foot is firmly lodged into the back of my throat, I will be accepting all anti-Ottawa rants with pleasure.

I’d assume that’s because of the influx of Leaf fans. Most of that is busting chops for rivalry’s sake ;) I actually have lots of friends that are senators fans. Thanks for the kind words though. I don’t know if I would say influential so much as relatively well-frequented.

I didn’t have a blog six years ago but I probably would have supported the idea for rivalry’s sake. I’ve possibly been glib about the prospects in the past (Buffalo, Ottawa, Nashville) mostly from either the idea of a rival disappearing or ignorance. Nashville’s well on the route to recovery and some great articles have cemented my belief that hockey can succeed anywhere as long as ownership is committed to building the infrastructure.

That’s one of the big things that bothers me about this entire situation. The Canadian fans that are doing a (premature) jig on the Coyotes’ grave seem to have forgotten the history of the Canadian teams. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that the 90s could have left Canada with just 2 teams if Bettman hadn’t taken some of the actions that he did. He definitely loses points for letting the Nords and Jets walk but Calgary and Edmonton and Ottawa especially could just as easily found themselves without a team as recently as 2006 if you believed the bleatings from the EIG.

GTFOPhoenix-Get bent.
Trolling doesn’t make you cool. You’re such a tool and so stuck in your ways I don’t think you could ever comprehend it.
I mean you can come in and make disparaging comments about my team, but I know not to take it to heart because you don’t have the sack to actually stick around and have a civil adult conversation about the topic.
Maybe being rational is something they teach better down here in the states, who knows.
I’m not making disparaging comments about Phoenix. I’m simply telling the truth. Phoenix, has the worst fanbase in the NHL. Teams like Ottawa and Toronto go down to phoenix for games, and have the building is full of our fans, from that team, that’s allllll the way accross the continent. If you want a team, get a fanbase. I’m sure you’d like to have the team stay in Phoenix, but low profits are making them want to leave, and Make it Seven. :)
MAKE IT SEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Errr what?
Isles had a lower average attendance per game figure in 2008 than Phoenix.
Also, lets not get crazy about the Sens as they haven’t had that much success extending their fanbase outside of Ottawa in nearly 20 years of franchise existence.
Furthermore, the term “worst” is absolutely incorrect here, you can argue that they may have the “smallest” fanbase but far from “worst” (at least they don’t riot and set cars on fire when their team are eliminated from the playoffs).
Lastly, with the exception of Toronto and Montreal, look at how long it took Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa to turn their franchises into profitable ones, and these are all teams in a “strong, traditional-hockey-market”.

The Sens are a lot like the Caps.
The fanbase lasts exactly as long as their current winning streak. I HAVE seen Senators fans fill a building on a road game. Most notably last season, during their absolutely insane first 30 games. Curiously they stopped doing that after the break, when it became obvious they were a fatally flawed team. =O Bandwagoners are entertaining.
So many
teams in nearly every sport can be described this way. There are outliers at the top and bottom, but for the most part attendance seems to follow winning and a few other factors such as new stadium, special events, et cetera.
You wanna cash out, and get the hell outta town. Don't be a baby, remember what you told me.
There's always a few teams
that sustain their fanbase one way or another. Most have been around forever, some are younger and just well-managed. In Los Angeles, for years people would rather pay exorbitant tickets and fight horrific traffic to watch the Dodgers lose than pay reasonable rates and watch the Angels win. I’ve never seen a Red Wings road game where Detroit wasn’t well represented, a fact that I often find very frustrating. And so on.
I just find the cases in Ottawa and Washington especially entertaining, because of how quickly they seem to jump back and forth.

Somehow I managed to go from “4:30 AM and just spending a couple minutes” to “9 AM and didn’t sleep all night”. I should sleep. But I’m going to go watch Veronica Mars instead.

Excellent choice. Kristen Bell… mmm…. Glad you came by. Hope to see you around here again soon!
