Hurricanes sale formally closed, Tom Dundon now majority owner

[cptjeff]

Well he hasn't addressed Charlotte's city council......... yet.

Why would Daly care about the Hurricanes's AHL team?

It was an inside joke from the Phoenix saga.

Daly once told the Glendale city council, who were asked to put up $25million in escrow to cover the Coyotes expenses at GRA and the NHL was "close" to having Matt Hulsizer take over as new owner, that it an "insurance policy" that would be returned once they had the new owner in place.

I mean I get that, but I think what people are asking is why would he go to Charlotte's city council when the Hurricanes play in Raleigh, some 160+ miles/2.5 hours away?

All part of the master plan.

Let's just say... pay close attention to private flights in and out of CLT.

no, EI, Charlotte never has been a Carolina territory, the only reason that ever existed is the deal Kahn did to bring the Checkers up from the ECHL to the AHL, YOU DO REALIZE Carolina still controls Estero's territory by owning the Everblades.

It occasionally happens to me that the caps get lost when trying to quote someone of HFB. Haven't looked into the particulars what exactly might cause that.

Seems like the caps always fade away as we get later into a thread.

Did you ever meet Oscar Robertson?

Not really meet, but I held a door open for him one time. It was about 15 years ago and he was in town for family reunion, I was working at the Kmart in the next town over and just happened to see him. Wasn't sure it was him at first, but he wearing a polo with "The Big O" as a monogram so that pretty well gave it away.

It's two weeknight games early in the season that probably won't sell out. It's likely an incentive to get some people who are on the fence to go to a game and hopefully leave them wanting more. Like the free samples in a grocery store.

It's for people who just moved to NC. The target demo is hockey fans who have pre-existing loyalties.

Note that the tickets are not automatic... you have to have a substantial conversation with a ticket rep in order to get them. Guess who's gonna give you a followup call the next day to talk about STH options?
