Confirmed with Link: All-Purpose Coyotes Arena Talk: [Update] Land Auction Cancelled, Meruelo waiving ownership rights.

[AZDesertKnight]

Yep..... rent free.

What do you even mean by this, in this case?

Have an independent thought for once..

I've defended Craig Morgan high and low on this forum, but when I see PHNX literally creating a new channel for Utah and 100% ignoring VGK broadcast rights AND an Arizona based Hockey event that not even Utah is doing... shows a huge amount of bias and shows me how much credibility he actually has.

Lets not forget the Seravalli %^& measuring and subsequent boot licking they did.

At this point i'll tend to believe what Frank Seravalli has to say on the subject over the PHNX Hockey crew

I think ol' Frank said the climate's gonna change, he might be right, it was certainly hotter this summer and into the fall.

They were ASKED to cover Utah. And it wasn't PHNX who added it..... it was the parent company ALLCity Networks.

PHNX it's part of a network that began in Denver Colorado (DNVR) and has since added Phoenix, Chicago, Philadelphia and most recently Dallas.

With Salt Lake City looking to become a three pro sports city plus two major universities there's a big void in sports coverage there. Utah Hockey is sitting in it's own environment right now but you could soon see them add the Jazz, BYU, (Univ. of) Utah, and possibly an MLB team within the next 3-5 years.

Craig's main focus right now is covering the Cardinals. If he has time for added Utah hockey content he does that.

I've watched the clip where he talks about "Arizona in five years" and I took it as any process beginning within that period.

And if you put it in the perspective that Utah and Atlanta began ringing the NHL's doorbell nearly two years ago..... a more likely scenario before we could physically see a team back is 8-10 years.

 

[Snarky Coyote]

I don't think there is any way to get a team back unless there are shovels in the ground already. Maybe there is a super secret mystery buyer moving behind the scenes, but if that is the case, I think the best-case scenario is 8 years. Maybe less if it's Ishbia, the Dbacks leave, and the moon and the stars align. I don't see it happening anytime soon, though.

Originally gave this a “like”, but removed to go with “agreed”.

There you go, a clear bias to Utah when another Organization is actually actively supporting Youth hockey in Arizona.

Not a single peep about it.

Thanks for making my point

Only point you're making is your continued bitterness that the team you used to follow is playing in a different city now.

It wasn't the players' fault....
It wasn't the fans' fault.....

It was the fault of several people on several levels beginning all the way back in 2005.

You act as if the Coyotes never did shit.... the Kachinas and several other program would have never existed without the Coyotes support. Guess you never saw all the tours around the schools the team did providing ball hockey equipment to get kids introduced to the sport.

Nor the Meruelo's parting gift of $2 million in monies and equipment to the Matt Schott program. He could have just kept the money and spent it in Reno getting the sport rolling here..

Instead.... what we have now is Vegas partially filling a void that was left behind. They had to give up Utah as a market. An opportunity closed..... another one opens.

It's good business.

Opening day. All I have to say is this.

f***
UTAH

Forever and until the day I die

f*** their owner
f*** their management
f*** their staff
f*** their players
f*** their fans

f***. Them.
