Co-Host: Stephen Brunt
Guests: NHLPA Executive Director, Paul Kelly; David Leadbetter, golf coach
McCown has been all over the Coyotes situation for (at least) the past 2-3 years. I recall Bettman saying in an interview that the Coyotes weren't getting cash infusions but were only getting advances to their share of the pie which was going to come anyways in the off season. Bettman has had a knack of getting franchises out of these kinds of binds by bring the knight riding the white horse to the rescue (note: reminder to myself to send Melnyk a thank you note!) To quote Paul Kelley, "(Bob) I like you am a little bit sceptical." How many times can Bettman do this? With Tampa? With Nashville? With Dallas? According to Bobcat - up to 8 different NHL franchises are up for sale.
I'm sure David Leadbetter was interesting. Heck - looking for other writers for the blog exactly for cases like this!! Drop me an email if interested!
Interesting that Brunt commented on the Hawks saying that they haven't won a cup since 1961, bad ownership, enormously long drought, and a backwards franchise. But if you play good hockey, people will appreciate it and turn it back into a hockey town and make it work. C'mon Brunt, doesn't this logic work for football in Ottawa??
