What the f*** are you talking aboutThey will never go to Quebec City unless the Bloc disappears because until then there will be no corporate money.

Briere predicting there will be fireworks between Torts and Michkov.
Crazy thing to say to the media.
Never happen has long as Bettman is there. He is a money guy first. If Canadian team fails it's going to states.It seems Quebec will need a failure elsewhere to ever get a team in the future.
To make matters worse it probably has to be a Canadian team.
Bettman is there to do the dirty work & face wrath of public on behalf of ownership - for the last 30-years he’s done exactly what ownership has wanted which is why he’s been kept aroundNever happen has long as Bettman is there. He is a money guy first. If Canadian team fails it's going to states.
One of two things will happen there, Torts gets fired or the kid goes back to Russia. I'm thinking that the first option is more likely. For whatever reason, Torts wont ever relinquish the title of being the leagues biggest Ahole and he continues to get fired because of it. He won a cup, great but that was 20 years ago.

A match made in heaven. It's a good thing Sean Couturier is there to help keep a lid on things.One of two things will happen there, Torts gets fired or the kid goes back to Russia.

I'd say Torts despite his antics is still a good coach. He's the best dinosaur left.One of two things will happen there, Torts gets fired or the kid goes back to Russia.

I'm afraid I have to disagree. He seems hell-bent on winning games 2-1 and having the perfect defensive/grinding game en route to victory. He despises creativity and offense/irresponsible play. He seems to be the type of coach who tries to fit every player into the same mold and demands it or else.I'd say Torts despite his antics is still a good coach. He's the best dinosaur left.
beat me to it!

Boy, does that descripton ever remind me of a "Moar grinding" coach that the Habs used to have...I'm afraid I have to disagree.

Quebec City deserves a team. Bettman eyeing big tv money. I think NHL team could make go of it in York also. But Atlanta has big tv potential. Why Bettman hung onto Phoenix so long. If that was Quebec City or Ottawa, team been gone 10 years ago.
QC is a small Canadian city with limited growth over the years. Whenever the economy tanks and the building isnt full, QC and Winnipeg will always be vulnerable, and we are already seeing cracks in winnipeg even though they have only been back for about a decade.
In places like phoenix-scottsdale, you have the potential to build something more permanent and add value to your broadcasting property. By the way, one of the issues was that this team wasn't even playing in the Phoenix area. They played in glendale which was a much more remote area.
The ownership took a risk to invest in a new entertainment area in glendale and then the 08 recession hit, and much of that project got abandoned, leaving a hockey rink in the middle of nowhere.
Phoenix-scottsdale will be back one day. QC is the league's insurance policy incase some team needs to move quickly and other larger markets do not have their ducks in order to pull the trigger at the right time. That's basically how winnipeg came back.
You're living in a Dreamworld just like Bettman. The potential growth in Phoenix will never ever materializes. In sport, interest has always trumped population. The NHL is run by science-fiction/fantasy writers who imagine a potential hockey market in places where there is no logic to be. The reason why UFC has grown so much is that they stick to the facts. They go where the biggest interest to their product is! You love UFC? OMG we are gonna give it to you over and over until it becomes your Church! NHL: You love our product? f*** You! We're gonna try to seduce a land of zombies and someday they might show a pulse of interest. Cause there are many zombies, you see.
Should listen to latest Spittin Chicklets, boys don’t think very highly of Mitchkov’s skating and overall ability to play the game of hockey other than All Star game skills competition - Verbeek also explains what he looks for in a hockey player & why Sennecke fits that mold.One of two things will happen there, Torts gets fired or the kid goes back to Russia.

Pro sports in the US, is no longer about the actual product or people showing up to the game as much as it is about the ancillary benefits that can be packaged. TBAY wasn’t about winning 2-Cups it was Vinik developing riverfront property in & around the arena, now that it’s been developed and pumping out lots of $, he’s selling the team.You're living in a Dreamworld just like Bettman.

Such lucrative business proposition is non existent in Quebec City, but CAN happen in downtown Phoenix with the right owner… like Utah has or Houston & Atlanta are about to get.
