If any of you are interested in a fantasy hockey league I need a few more owners in an established yahoo league. It's the 7th year for my H2H points based league. Live draft is tomorrow night at 7:30. All of the owners are active all season. League ID is 34284 password is 1. I look forward to seeing you.

Hey, would you be able to send your e mail to klangan@omnipossible.com? I want to get the B/R community leaders on a mailing list for a press release on behalf of Sports Media 101.

Thanks

Hey Scott, my name is Matt and I've been around BR for a while but just came back recently. So BT wanted the featured columnists to do a Top 5 Playoff Performers per team and collaborate.

So let's collaborate! My e-mail is matt.eichel@gmail.com and you can give me what you write and we can put that, my stuff, and Kamal's stuff together too! Let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Matt

Thanks again for responding, Scott. Here in Toronto, the newspaper line since last year has been that "hockey is dead in the desert". Most of the papers wondered why Bettman was defending the Coyotes against Balsillie so adamantly and have since accepted his line that it was all about Balsillie going outside NHL rules. But Bettman has met with the mayor of Quebec and has been openly encouraging the city to build a $400 million arena. He would have to be an utter cad to encourage such spending without promising some kind of payoff and if the NHL can't find an owner for the Coyotes, moving them to Quebec if they build their arena would be the logical thing to do. Quebec has an investor who the NHL likes, Quebecor, and would rather go back there than to Hamilton.

As for Ice Edge, many NHL owners are privately questioning how a franchise can play out of two cities, especially when they are so far apart. Ice Edge is being encouraged because they are the only ones who making any bid to keep the team in Phoenix. If a better investor appeared, I'm sure the NHL would have favored them.

Thanks for reading and commenting on my article, Scott. I agree with you. The money spent on the lawyers and the courts could be better spent. The NHL seems more concerned about the past than the future. In today's Toronto Star, it says that there is an unofficial June deadline for the league to find a new owner committed to Phoenix. If Ice Edge and Glendale can't resolve the lease issue, and no other bidder appears, the NHL will probably consider either folding the team or selling to an owner who will move it (except Balsillie). Speculation is that if Quebec can resolve its arena problem, and commit to building an NHL-size arena, the Coyotes will end up as the Nordiques.
