FINALLY
This guy was such a fraud.
The best chance of Phoenix getting a team back is with a fresh start with a new owner and getting rid of this con artist.
THIS IS MY STANLEY CUP
For Coyotes fans I’m sure losing the team was really hard but it might be worth it to get rid of this guy. If the Coyotes come back at least they will hopefully have a competent owner at the helm.
That will be the final nail in the coffin for the Yotes. Can’t see Bettman suckering another man/group to start another failure in the desert from the ground up.
He stunk like a rich prick who didn’t care.
The biggest joke since John Spanos.
Haha buddy cashed out and said peace
I truly believe hockey can survive in almost any major city in the US but it takes a committed ownership and management group to do it. Look at Florida. Look at Tampa Bay. Look at Vegas. Hockey shouldn’t be doing as well in those places but it’s thriving. Meruelo is the last guy that should be owning an NHL team.
Good. Now, let’s end this stupid talk about more expansion. 32 teams is already too many. It would be absurd to go beyond that.
It’s all good, just became a panthers fan tonight. LFG panthers!!! Feels good to be part of a winning team for once
Good… i think we suspected all along it wouldn’t happen, and i’m glad it didn’t this dude doesn’t deserve to own a professional sports team.
Good. Fuck that guy
DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD
I’m not a coyotes fan but nice
IIT: We all pretending like Meruelo was the only bad owner of Pheonix and the sole reason for their demise – anyone other than him would have had pheonix thriving.
So how does this work in terms of IP? Does this mean that Utah could potentially take the Coyotes name and branding? (Not that I think they should — I want Utah to figure out their own identity and leave the door open for the Coyotes to return.)
I mean idgaf about AM but I hope he sells the rights to the name/logi. I want the Kachina’s back
Doubt Mat Ishbia is coming in to save this project. You don’t want the Bidwill’s involved either. It could be awhile before we see Arizona get a serious investment in hockey.
Now, gather the pitchforks and run him out of town. This guy doesn’t deserve to live amongst you.
*As of the 2020 census, the two-county metropolitan area had 4,845,832 residents, making it the 11th largest metropolitan area in the nation by population*.
*Phoenix Ranks as Fourth-Fastest Growing Market in the Nation*.
The NHL definitely wants to go back to Phoenix. They will have to figure out their arena shit first though.
