Did you try the vino verde?

- TurdFergeson



Of course.

Had a bottle at lunch in Lisbon.

Wasn't too bad, tasted like a white wine to me.


Of course can't find any Douro around this poop hole, gonna have to go to Total Wine in Edm.

Just when you thought the (frank)ing poopshow that is Arizona had reached the ultimate low point, they find new ways to show you you were wrong.

they'll have an NHL team in Nicaragua before they get one again in Quebec.

In fairness, the visiting team in Quebec City would likely be forced to use a make-shift dressing rooms in the Ice Castle during Carnival....

yeah, I don't really care anymore about that debate, I just find it's dumb that they have a team in Arizona and not in Quebec.

I think economically, somehow Arizona comes out more profitable/valuable for the league likely due to the NHL tv reach / contract.

I am not sure Quebec team makes significantly more money, given the discounted Canadian dollar and the market size.

I believe that if Quebec could bring in a significant (rather than perhaps a marginal) overall revenue increase, there would be more of a push to move the team. That being said, I am sure there are a few bigger US markets that would be considered first over Quebec, regardless.

yeah, I know. I find it hard to believe though that there is no correlation between having a full building and viewership, I highly doubt that there are millions of people watching the coyotes on TV, the interest doesn't seem to be there at all.

also, I find it funny how everyone that talks about this suddenly turns into a financial advisor, as if they've conducted extensive market studies on the subject, so allow me to have doubts on those opinions as well lol.

The NHL is all about making money.

IF they made a poop ton more money in Quebec City, there would be a team there. They are not stupid.

Like I said, I am surprised they are still in Arizona. not another big US market.

The Coyotes owner(s) must have compromising pictures of Buttman.

Yes…it’s Bettman keeping them there…

Why don’t people understand that he works for the owners. If they wanted Phoenix moved they’d be moved.
