FUCK WINNIPEG!

God damnit, how many hockey teams are we going to lose to Canada?!

The deal is 99% done, it just has to be approved by the NHL Board of Governors at a meeting on June 21, 2011. But the NHL is getting $40,000,000 for a relocation fee so it's gonna go through.

R.I.P.
Atlanta Flames (1972–1980)

Atlanta Thrasers (1999-2011?)

:facepalm:


Hockey was born in Canada. Besides that four of the first original six teams
were from America. This is better for hockey. Hockey is never going to be as
big as the NFL or NBA or MLB in this country anyways so no need to push it on
people and cities who want no part of it or could care less about the sport.

That's for true

Quote:

On January 22, 2011, the team's ownership claimed they had lost $130 million in the last six years, partially as a result of an ongoing lawsuit with former partner, Steve Belkin.




Quote:

The malpractice suit recounts a split that occurred in 2005, when Belkin objected to the Atlanta Hawks' trade of Boris Diaw, two first-round draft picks and a $4.9 million trade exception to the Phoenix Suns for guard Joe Johnson, who had agreed to a $70 million contract.

The other owners sought to buy Belkin's 30 per cent stake in the venture and assigned King & Spalding to negotiate an appraisal process that would give the disgruntled shareholder a "fair and reasonable" value while protecting the other co-owners' interests, the lawsuit said.

But the suit claimed King & Spalding flubbed its responsibilities with, among other things, a loose definition of "fair market value" that gave Belkin an inflated stake. It then tried to conceal the truth and minimize its legal exposure after discovering the malpractice, according to the suit, leaving the other owners bogged down in litigation.

"Instead of quickly buying out their co-owner's interest for a fair price in the fall of 2005, plaintiffs were tied up in litigation for five years, operation of the Atlanta Hawks and the Atlanta Thrashers was impaired, and title to the franchises was clouded," it said.

It's not even that attendance is terrible, it's partially cause the ownsers are a bunch of shitheads.

Tom Glavine was saying he would be down to start a group to own the Thrashers, but I haven't heard anything more about that.

Thats what makes it even more pathetic,the fan base is there but they lose out due to mismanagement by owners that only care about the dollar and not about the game itself

Hahaa nice, good to see everyone hates Bettman not just Canadians.

It is sad because the owners sucked.  The team has potential, and a ton of room to buy players since it was way below the spending cap.  They got the 7th round for the upcoming draft in the fall.  Evander Kane is really good, Ladd, Antropov, Dustin Byfuglien and Enstrom on D.  So when they build around that, it should be an excellent team.

I feel for the fans, but they have to be loyal through the good and bad.:shrug:  Although they never won a game in the playoffs, so obviously their management and owners sucked ass.  I wouldnt have gone to games either.

My uncle was on CBC during the Stanley Cup final haha, they interviewed him at the MTS center in Winnipeg about tickets.  My dad and uncle bought a box with another company, 14 seats or some shit.  And hotties who bring food and booze non stop.:awegroove:

So every time I visit the peg I'll be up in the corporate boxes!:rockon:

i know they tore down the old one and then just built that one a few years ago.. i think that the new one is smaller than the required number of seats for an NHL team..

I'm just bitter because we're losing another hockey team to Canada. And no, the Thrashers weren't great but they were an NHL team so it brought NHL games to Atl. Now we finally got a decent lineup, and the owners, beings the shitheads they are, can't make sense of anything that's not a basketball. Fuck them.

I don't blame you all the fans got tooled on that deal and it's probally going to be a long time before you get another NHL team.On another note I thought game one sucked balls on both Vancouver and Boston's part,the only light was the goaltending on both teams
