The Coyotes have been a financial disaster (in addition to an absolute abomination) since they arrived in the Valley of the Suck back in 1996. But what do you expect when your head coach and part-owner is throwing down thousands of dollars on Super Bowl coin tosses? Oh, forgive me, that's right, it was his wife, and he had nothing to do with it. I know that MY wife is always the one accruing the gambling debts while I'm the one watching football.Anyhoo, the NHL is tossing money at the Coyotes in order to save this once, well, potentially proud organization. My question is, somewhere in Canada there are real hockey fans who would love to host an NHL hockey team, or another hockey team for that matter; so why not use that money to drop the Sunbelt experiment and slide a team up north to the place where the NHL was born? Quebec city, Winnipeg, Toronto, shit Saskatoon would probably do a better job than this sorry excuse for a city. And what's one more vacant mansion in the Valley anyway, am I right?
I once attended a hockey game at the "Jobing.com Arena" (a little suggestive, even for Phoenix don't you think?), and the atmosphere could be best characterized as an 80's rock concert meets Monday Night Raw. If, you know, both the concert and the wrestling event were mostly empty and filled with people who only sort of cared that the show were actually taking place.
Another question, why would you ever put a hockey rink in the Valley of the Sun? Hockey rinks need ICE, and you put a hockey rink in the desert? Insane (see above).
And lastly, why is Phoenix even called the Valley of the Sun anyway? Was it because Silicon Valley was already taken? Yeah, maybe.
How can you expect Phoenicians to make it to an NHL game when there are so damn retailers having sales on Afflication t-shirts!?
ReplyDeleteOr there's probably an MMA fight on somewhere... To which one would have to wear their Affliction shirt, before going out, hitting on someone's girlfriend, and then starting a fight with girlfriend's boyfriend.
