Phoenix is one of the largest markets in the US and growing. If they withdraw it would affect the TV rights and income from global sponsors. I understand what your saying,. But they seem more like a poorly run pawn shop established in 1996, than a hockey team. The advantage for many fans of the NHL is traveling to Phoenix as a “snowbird” or cheap seat vacation venue to watch your favourite team play, than the Coyotes themselves. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) I’d be very surprised if there was a country club atmosphere in the Canucks room. Not with Boudreau at the helm. There’s probably a nonchalance derived from all of those sage Sedin years of if-someone-slaps-you-around-in-the-playoffs-take-it-like-a-champ-and-don’t-fight-back-even-though-it’s-the-Stanley-cup-finals mentality. But there’s no way Miller behaves like it’s a country club atmosphere. Perhaps that was his frustration with Green; that things weren’t moving fast enough… However, these kids including Horvat need a fire pit up their expensive a$$es. I think Horvat got a good talking to by Boudreau when it was evident who the leader in the room was. Horvat did, however, show up instead of fold. And that’s a great thing.

Except no cheap seats for the next three years. Only 3,500 seat rink. Visiting fans might actually have to pay for their tickets. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Bo as a player - especially Bubble Bo. If every one is as dedicated to maximizing his talent as Bo is, we would be a perennial playoff team. But if there really is a country club atmosphere and if the reported locker room issues are true, doesn't that speak negatively of how good a captain is? If he's struggling to influence the locker room, should the Canucks find someone else who can do that job? A few Canucks have already said that Bo is very quiet in the locker room. On the other hand, Quinn Hughes has said that JT Miller is the emotional leader of the locker room - should JT be the Captain instead? Would Bo accept that?

LOL; Maybe he was talking about the promotional fluff where they're all smiling with big wide grins. The OEL one was so fake looking. Most of them were. Ah, rumors, rumors. No way there's anything like that from; Demko, Hughes, Pettersson, Miller, Podkolzin, Horvat. Don't really know what Boeser is like in the room. The statement probably was meant to dumb down the smiles when the cameras are around. I think Boeser, since he got crush popped into the open door; thanks Virtanen, has been a soft player. I’d think he’s soft in the room too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few teams in interesting situations Sharks - age and big money Vegas - age and big money see where the chips fall by the end of August, and see what we’ve got , hopefully to move ahead with and not take 2 steps back. Read somewhere that the biggest reason for having a team in Phoenix is because of the TV deal: (not sure, of exact ranking) Arizona is the 8th biggest TV market, in the US Edited June 12, 2022 by ShawnAntoski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read some TV ratings (think on this site) about the Coyotes. They averaged, during the 20-21 season 14,000 viewers for their games. So, yes, it’s a big market, but there are NO HOCKEY FANS! Only 14,000 watching on TV. Thats a joke. 3,000 seat arena. That team should be in Quebec City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been a Canucks fan since inception to the NHL.… but saw hockey here with the World Hockey League , Vancouver Blazers.. Always a tough brand of hockey here,. Especially led my hometown Stan Smyl.. Linden inherited a bit of that, but was no where near the driver that Stan was. It went downhill after that really. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, the NHL is still a profitable business but in time the same ideas will start turning that around - this is not going to get any better, until the old way of doing business has changed and the internet is the change.

Perhaps Green wanted a symbolistic type of Captian, that was young and someone he trusted ? As for Miller, he had proven over time he was the right choice cause of his ability to rally the roster.
