Exciting news from the desert. Coyotes still owe the City $1.3M in back taxes and rent. If not paid by December 21, doors will be locked.

Team has investigated, said it was “human error” and that the cheque is in the mail.

Turns out some of these outstanding bills go back to June 2020.

Player signing bonuses were also late in being paid and human error seems to be a factor again. Unsure if same human.

Austin return home imminent.

Cool....and the 54 years since?

Better Math, Leafs poorly managed for most of that period, better managed at the moment, at least they are in the mix to contend.

Depending on the year and who was playing, I would agree. I included 4 gold medals - three world juniors, and the 2006 Olympics. Hard to argue that the best weren't playing in those tournaments. In addition, Sundin would have been the best player and captain on the majority of those teams.

Sundin didn't win three golds at juniors.

They were World Championships.

Sorry, but Sundin sucked.

The human error is the guy who bought the team, thinking he could turn a profit from it.

Let's go for one beer, I promise not to........


Maybe Gary and Parros can figure a way to bail them out, and further justify their existence. Parros could fine every Leaf player max fines each game for breathing for the rest of the season and then Gary could make sure the Yotes get the first overall pick. It would be a great way to grow the game.

Great, still doesnt change the fact they havent accomplished much in 50 - 60 years. Yes they won cups with a 6 team league over 54 years ago. Gotta hang to that.

To err is human; to forgive, divine.

So forgive the debts we owe you, everyone!

Unless he’s good at sucking money from Tempe in a new arena deal. These municipal politicians love the spotlight. The Glendale deal was obscene. It’s not a particularly well off town that threw so much money at a bunch of billionaires.

He'll have to find them first. They'll be the league's first nomadic team living in a van down by the river.

That six team league had only about 130 NHL regulars. Sick of people discounting those cups pre 1967. Rangers were an original six team that won only 3 cups up until 1994 ending a 54 year drought. As someone that looks at hockey history, both the Rangers and Leafs are important teams, in fact key teams to the success of the NHL. Yes there are 32 teams now and teams like the lowly Coyotes - which would have had difficulty competing in the AHL in the sixties yet are included in the stats.

Plus, he’ll never, ever get to be their “greatest” player because the team will never accomplish anything.

Not discounting those cups, glad the leafs won them yadda yadda yadda. Their history would look much worse if they didnt have them.
But they are the only og 6 team to not have won a cup since the league went to 7 plus teams....heck havent even been to the finals once since.
They simply havent had much to celebrate the past 60 years - outside of 4 cups wins that occurred 54+ years ago.

Leafs have had the longest drought since expansion, no question. Leafs are also in better shape as a franchise IMO than any of those original six teams except perhaps the Rangers - and I would call it close. So, as I originally stated, they have had terrible management over the dry spell, they are in much better shape, and better managed now.
