It seems like every time the camera pans over to him, he is talking to Piet or Bowyer. But everytime Howard gets interviewed, he talks of how Ozzie is supportive and a good team mate. I honestly haven't read into it, like he is hiding out and being a poor sport.

The losses have been more than 300 million since the team moved there. And I said before I doubt that there could be as much of a loss in Winnipeg. But the television and corporate sponsorship money is a small band-aid for the massive bleeding, caused by these morons that have been running this team. The city of Glendale has raped this organization of any type of revenue making avenues. Including massive rent, parking, police, and concessions. I am not defending having a team in Phoenix. I think it's a joke, with the deal they are in with locally. I am just more saying, Winnipeg is still a gamble.

I think up on the initial costs and dues to be paying everyone involved and so on is paid, they will be okay. I think if the team doesn't perform well say after the five years of being back, they may find themselves on the under side of that safety line. Remember Winnipegs population is only 671,000. I think its possible for the novelty to sort of wear off. Fans start watching from their living rooms instead of the arena. And how about attracting marquee players there. I have little doubt that a team being put back in Winnipeg, could ever lose as much money as a team did in Phoenix. But I wonder if Winnipeg is thee answer. btw, I love the Jets jersey. I have an old Selanne blue one.

That's kind of what I am saying. Putting it all on tsn and so in Canada with everyone in the country watching still somehow comes up short in revenue dollars when comparing the two countries. But what I don't understand, is I know these are proud Canadians wanting a hockey team back in the country. And out of all the possibilities, Winnipeg is probably the best choice if Hamilton wasn't to come to fruition. But people are thinking that moving a team to Winnipeg isn't going to cost millions. Millions are still going to be lost there, for years to come. And why does an intelligent business man, family, or company, full knowingly accept that as a good deal to have a dream of a hockey team there?

That may all be true and you do carry a valid argument. The corporate sponsorship is huge, but television revenues are where it's at. American television creates a gross amount of money compared to any television market in Canada. And being that Phoenix is turning into this metropolis of a city, Winnipeg can hardly compete on that end.

This team was barely a mediocre team at best in Winnipeg. Never winning anything and placing low in the standings year after year. Never getting far in the playoffs, and no television or corporate support there. The only thing that brought a hockey team to the desert was television revenues and corporate support. There was no other viable location ready to have a turn key hockey organization, and play when they arrived.

They are leaving Howard out to dry tonight. Way too many chances.

This is complete non-sense. Every team including the Red Wings have had ticket deals and giveaways all season. My friend, who happens to be a sales associate for season tickets for the Coyotes, said there are more deals than ever, but they are still making money due to the improved product on the ice. And to just let you know, that the March 27th home game against Colorado was a sell out, not too mention 1700 walk ups, at the arena. All were turned down.

Yeah definetly nervous. TPBM has bounced a check more than once.

Scruffy If you were playing hockey, would you rather take a Lidstrom slapper to the shin or a punishing Brad Stuart, Nik Kronwall sandwhich hit, at full force

Leaded for sure regular Cheetos or the Flamin Hot ones?

I could easily go to sleep now, but it's a little early here still. TPBM likes to tell 'your mama jokes' at parties.

Kings lose fourth in a row. No points tonight for LA. Unfortunately they play Nashville tomorrow night.

Havlat scores. Puts Minnesota back on top 3-2 just under 12 to go in the third.

No problem. I should have looked earlier.

Here's a link that seems to be working. Though it's the second intermission at the moment. LA/MIN game

I am surprised people aren't getting this game. I am able to access both team feeds and both in HD as well.

It's on my center ice package. It's also on my FS-West, due to me living in the Kings market. btw, LA just scored a minute or two ago. 2-1 now, MIN

It was just one of those typical generic interviews they all give. No real new info or insight on the team or him. He gave credit to Ozzy and the healthy team and so on.

2-0 minnesota

Minnesota just scores. 1-0 them

Nashville now has 93 points. That sucks. Let me re-phrase it, 94! that officially sucks.
