COYOTES STAYING!!!!!!!!


Jim Balsillie denied! We'll tell you more as we get more information. Because right now there isn't much.

Update 1: Looks like Baum filed a 21 page brief denying the sale. Haven't gotten any text yet, but WE WIN! Score one for the good guys! The sale will no longer take place on June 22nd.

Update 2: The wet blankets already coming out saying that the Coyotes will just drag down the league ad nauseum. Well then the East coast can have all the teams like they've always wanted anyhow.

Update 3: Here's the text of the ruling. Will have more up as soon as I read it.

That’s a good first step for you guys. Now comes the hard part, finding a better economic framework for the long term stability of the franchise. Hopefully they can find a new owner for your team that isn’t just some carpetbagger/vulture type. Best wishes from the ’Peg.

Oh, and OdinMercer, spare your brain cells and avoid the G and M comments section on any subject. It’s like a march through a fetid swamp at the best of times.

by Robert Cleave on Jun 15, 2009 6:47 PM MST reply actions  

Oh I know. Just saw some as I was looking at the article.

They should have some sort of something to turn them off.

Awesome news

I’m about to head over to the G and M comments to read some of that sweet, sweet disappointment. Cry for me, Balsillie, your tears are sweet.

Zug be with you.
And also with you.

Congrats! I’ve been rooting for you guys, and looks like lots of other teams’ fans are behind you as well.

From Make it Seven
The court did not approve either our approach or the NHL’s. Judge Baum did state he does not have time to decide all the relocation issues. But the court still controls the sale process. As a result, we look forward to hearing from the NHL soon on its view of our relocation application and an appropriate relocation fee, so as to allow the court to determine if that fee is reasonable. We still think there is enough time for the NHL to approve Mr. Balsillie’s application and move the team to Hamilton by September.

So now they expect the NHL to approve them?

Not at all

At this point I’ll say Balsillie is just playing his little PR campaign more, the courts denied him so he says he’s going to go through all the proper channels (not even admitting that he’s finally going to play by the rules this time) to try to get the team through the league, he KNOWS Bettman is going to flat-out deny him which is going to anger the Make It Seven crowd even more and further ignoring any pretense of logic.

It is a good start

This is a great start for Phoenix in trying to get themselves back on their feet. The next step is finding an owner who has experience in running a sports franchise and is willing to take the time and energy to do it in Phoenix.

Good news everyone!

Even if it means looking forward to 6 more games that’ll make me far more nervous than they should next season.

Now, just pack that barn this year so the haters can keep whining.

There's no use being pessimistic, it won't work anyway.

I think the haters would shut up if they fill the arena. Let’s hope they can do it without papering it. :Leafs and Coyotes :Playoffs!!!!1
