I should get some kind of Jets medal.  I've sat here watching this council meeting for the last two hours or so.

Either a medal, or your taunting - I'm not sure which.

No fresh news out there, so what happenned?  Do I owe you a beer or do you owe me one?
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

I don't think the beer will be decided yet.

I maintain my comment quoted for prosperity :P

As if you could hide from it now. :D

I was worried for a day or so.  The NHL has used Winnipeg as leverage in Phoenix, so if Glendale was just buying itself a single year's grace the league might still need the leverage.

But it's a ten year deal (with a total cost to Glendale of $250 mil - it boggles the mind, but whatever).  The league doesn't need the leverage anymore.  So they can let Atlanta move to Winnipeg, which supposedly has been the plan all along.
How can Glendale afford it? How can the politicians pass this without being afraid of being primaried next election?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Why did I waste my evening watching Arizona city council meetings? :bleeding:

Here's hoping that the Thrashers are heading "back to Winnipeg".

There. Better.

I could tell you stories of the Fairborn City Council meetings when I was working the corporate man, but I won't.

It's decided now, they're staying for at least one more year.
So, you owe me a beer now  :)

I knew Bettman wouldn't let go of the team that easily.
If this team moves, it will be a shadow of itself.

The best thing about Atlanta moving to Winnipeg will be that Detroit will finally join the Eastern Conference.

Yay!
