Life outside of the box

This past week, I found a few web sites that support the Phoenix Coyotes staying where they are and they do have some points that we should take in.  Yes I’m aware that Jim Balsillie is breaking the rules by not getting approval of the league to move the re-locate the team to Southern Ontario but the problem is that Jerry Moyes their current owner owes a lot of money to creditors and Jim’s offer to buy the team will definately help Jerry Moyes pay off his debts to the creditors.  Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to encourage all of the current Coyotes fans to go to a Toronto Maple Leafs game, There is a considerable difference between going to a leafs game and going to a Coyotes game.  And once you do, you’ll feel like the rest of us who want another team in Southern Ontario.

Something else to add, I have a theory regarding Gary Bettman sticking it to Jim Balsillie.  My theory is that Gary Bettman can stick a NHL team anywhere in Canada and that team would be successful.  Gary want’s to be able to stick a team in any American market and be successful, by “propping” the Coyotes to stay put just proves my theory.

And that’s what I’m thinking … outside of the box!

I’m not promoting the move of the Phoenix Coyotes to the City of Hamilton, but this entry is my perspective of the outcome if the Phoenix Coyotes do move to the City of Hamilton.

I was listening to the radio the other day, interesting enough it was a station based in the City of Hamilton.  The jockeys were taking calls whether the city deserves the NHL team, and one caller mentioned that there were a lot of job losses in the City and surrounding areas.  And that an NHL team in southern Ontario would boost the spirit of those who live in the area. 

This got me thinking …

Based on what happened in the Gulf of Mexico with Katrina, the people of New Orleans rallied around the Saints who had to play their home games that season in San Antonio.  But when the Saints played their home games in New Orleans the following season everyone bought tickets to the home games.  They, the fans, made a huge difference that first game and that season.  The Saints made the playoffs and won their Division and made it to the Conference Championship game before losing to the Chicago Bears.

My thoughts are if a team comes to Southern Ontario, we would rally around that team and they would hopefully be successful.  I have so many thoughts about this situation that I’ll have to write a few more entries about it.

And that’s what I’m thinking … outside of the box!
