Confirmed with Link: Tom Dundon 100% ownership

[SoupNazi]

Man, the takes on his comments about advertisements on jerseys on the main board are so spicy i feel like I'm on an episode of Hot Ones.

My personal favorites are the ones who blame them on "southern markets." As though the ownership of northern teams wouldn't just as gladly accept that revenue...

Yes, as we all know, billionaire owners hate free money, and will absolutely put the desires of the plebes over their own personal desire to accumulate wealth

When I think about the Original Six, the first thing that comes to mind is “owners who put the fans first!”

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I love how worked up people get over Dundon.

You mean MLSE doesn't run the Leafs as a non-profit? This is such upsetting news!

They already hate the fact that the hurricanes exist instead of playing in Bear Tooth Arena, the crown jewel of Elk Nut, Saskatchewan.

Now that the team is successful and has an owner who clearly gives zero f***s (in a good way, not to be confused with Karmanos’ zero f***s policy) their fragile minds are bending and breaking. I love it.

2020: Dundon isn't fully vested in the team, because he plans to bail

2021: Dundon bought the whole team, so he can sell it

2022: Dundon won the Stanley Cup so he could pump up the sale price

2023: Dundon bought Carter Finley Stadium, but only because he wants to trade the Canes for an NFL team

So when's he relocating the team to the Moon? Should be some good Home ice advantage

Life expectancy would drop noticeably.

Arteries already hardening.. Booking my Triple for 13 years 6 months and 21 days.

Only the last 2 sauces though

If I'm Dundon I'm making a public comment about how the next Winter Classic needs to be held in New Orleans or something, just to really f*** with the usual suspects.

Think bigger.

An outdoor game DURING a Nascar race. Although I have no idea if any tracks have infields large enough.

If I'm being honest, I'd much rather go to New Orleans to see a Canes game than go to Raleigh to see a Canes game.

(ONCE, Tom. Once. Don't move the damned team to New Orleans.)

Tailgate in the French Quarter before the game.

Bristol they had a Foosball game there!.

Professional sports and change are like oil and water.

 

[HisIceness]

Honestly after spending a week there, I'm all for New Orleans getting an NHL expansion franchise. Yeah I know it's never going to happen but that would be one fun as shit road trip. Imagine eating po-boys and Jambalaya during a game

It's too bad George Shinn killed hockey in that town when he moved the Hornets there. Kind of ironic considering he was trying to get into the NHL a few years earlier. The Brass had good support from what I remember but were blindsided by the NBA returning to town.

One of the reasons that Mrs. Hank and I haven't seriously considered moving to New Orleans is that the closest ice rink is in Lafayette, so I'd either have to drive two hours or I'd have to give up hockey.

Attendance would crater.

I hope they are putting enough gravity to it.
