No because I haven't seen him play. As was stated in previous threads, if he couldn't get a game in with the big club with half the team out, then he probably wasn't that good. Who knows, maybe he was still adjusting to the American game.

Huge loss the guy was the next Bure.

Little did we know the last game was the start of a 14 game win streak. Buckle up.

I'm counting on you being right.

Well...as bad as this season has been......at least we're not the Coyotes

Did someone suddenly pay the bill collector for our blogs? All of the sudden we're getting bombarded.

Ironic considering my previous comment. Next up will be the Coyotes Go Fund Me page

I know there's been some pretty embarrassing sports franchises across the world in the past, but has one ever had the locks changed on the doors to their own stadium mid-season?

LOL, what a way to run a business. There is only 32 NHL franchises and this is how you treat it.

Parise with his first goal tonight along with Wahlstrom and Lee. 3-2 win for us in regulation.

Barry Trotz says Brock Nelson and Casey Cizikas are "days away" from returning after skating with the team this morning.

"Hopefully we get there sooner rather than later."

#Isles

Hopefully those two will be back in the lineup Saturday for the Devils game

Yeah, I'm bored.

I'm going to keep googling - there must be a few others

I guess I meant more top-league teams, but still relevant and equally-hilarious

Coyotes should have been move to Vegas. The NHL didn't do this because they wanted the $500 Million expansion fee. Meanwhile this is a black eye on the entire league.

He was awesome and should have played and still be playing. FIRE TROTZ !!!!!

Which raises the interesting question:

Now that there are 32 teams (and I sincerely doubt the NHL will want to add to that number), will the NHL be more willing to allow a franchise to relocate?

I thought I read somewhere they were interested in expanding to 34 teams, which would be terrible, but I can't find it so maybe not.

I'd imagine they'd be more willing to relocate now since there really isn't an expansion option. They gotta get the Coyotes out of Arizona, it's a total (frank)ing embarrassment for the league. This arena situation, whatever carousel of hockey arenas they'll be rotating around next year, the draft testing fiasco, the late-bonus payments, the allegations of a hostile workplace from ownership on down (that's all just in the last year or less lol), and everything else that poopbag franchise has forced the NHL to endure should be more than enough reason for getting them out of there. Houston is the layup relocation city. It keeps them in the West and they seem to be "next in line" for a team one way or another.

You would think so but if there's $500 Million to make it clouds ones judgement. That said the NHL is going to have to relocate the Yotes as this project has been going on for way too long and I don't see the shat show changing anytime soon. These financially floundering teams don't add anything to the leagues image except negativity. They would be best served to move them to a location that can support and wants an NHL franchise so that they can be successful.

Game winning goal for Lee. I demand it!
