Alex Meruelo sucks

[ck26]

So does Barroway have the stranglehold on best ever owner?

Just amazing how we can keep rolling snake eyes time after time after time ...

Will HF roll with 33 team boards, keeping yours intact while making a new spot for the technically-viewed-as-expansion-by-league SLC team?

This spot should stay yours.

Nobody got the strangle reference?? For shame.

Alex will take that billion dollars even being made a fool by everyone.

I would like to preface this by expressing my sympathy with your fanbase. I can't think of any other franchise that has treated it's supporters as poorly as the Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes.

I'm just curious whether you believe Meruelo will actually try to bring the NHL back to Arizona, or just take the money and run.

I think he's going to try it. The land is so valuable, it's a slam dunk for development.

What I'm in no way sure of is if he's going to actually build an arena and bring back a team.

Certainly Meruelo sucks but...in watching both press conferences and I know it's not apples to apples as one team is going out and one team coming in but...it is obvious there is greater synergy with Ryan Smith and government leadership in Utah. The governor and the mayor were both at the presser. I don't recall ever there being Arizona or Phoenix outward support like this. I'm sure some of you are closer and understand better but does the governor of AZ and phoenix mayor suck too? They just lost a major league franchise and didn't see much outward activity to try to help save the Coyotes.

I saw a clip of Craig Morgan talking with AM .. then XG comes over and looks to pat Craig on the chest and Grab AM and whisk him away..

I believe this would have been right after the press conference

I hope Craig posts what was said in that exchange.

 

[Mosby]

He canceled his 1 on 1 with Craig

Fairly certain we’d have been/were the same in the 60’s & 70’s…. Let’s see how they look when they have 4+ million folks to satisfy.

Listening to Friedman on KSL sports… he was mentioning that one of the reasons the NHL like Smith is that he is younger and likes to be in front of the cameras. He said after a NBA governor meeting the owners run to the cameras. IN the NHL the governors run away, leaving it to Bettman and Daley to do the interviews..

Does anyone have a picture or a video of Meruelo knocking on one of the thousand doors he says he knocked on?

There's as much truth in that statement as there was in his statement about always having his bills paid.

I'm sure he has always paid his bills - maybe not on time and not necessarily in full but...

 

[Arizonatah]

AM probably paid people to knock on doors and is now taking credit for their work, because he made it happen lol.

It would definitely be on brand for him. You know, he did draft Dylan Guenther personally and he's the team's most beloved equipment manager, not that attention whore Stan Wilson.

The begged the fans to do it. Damn, do none of you attend the games? They had video of Shane Doan and BA asking for volunteers the entire season prior to the vote, it showcased the cheapness of the org.

Oh. So it is our fault. At least now I can sleep easy knowing that was the issue.

They didn't need that. With this state's history and votes for stadiums/arenas plus the fact that it was in the east valley, which we've been told for decades was all they needed, it was a slam dunk. Some blue hairs obviously stuffed the ballot boxes.

LOL, mine as much as anyone’s. I’ll be damned if I was going to pay them and then go to work for them!

XG should have lead an insurrection!
