If there is so much support for Canadian teams, where was a buyer for the past two years?
Fact is, there is a huge upside for the team in Phoenix, more so than in Quebec.

They had one in Hamilton but the league wouldnt approve....They have never even broke even financially in Phoenix mainly because no one cares or at least no one cares enough to actually show up for games on a consistent basis

There were no buyers.. the one from Hamilton was a sham.
Moyers was not a good owner, in fact he had never been in the sports business, just a lot of money.
I was a season ticket holder from 96-03 and your statement that no one cares is very far from the truth.

If they care they arent showing it by actually showing up

Sort of like the LA Kings TV ratings....26th of 30th in the league....talk about bandwagon fans the Kings are that...
The Kings had the 26th-worst television ratings among the league’s 30 teams

LA - 12,900,000 to 19,000 = .001472
PHX - 4,262,000 to 17,125 = .004018
Taking those numbers into consideration, Phoenix only has to put 6,273 fans in the seats to equal a sellout at the Staples center.

they sold out every home game

Not the games I went too....there were open seats....
LA fans are notorious band wagon fans both in college and pro sports....except for the Dodgers...

well Frank McCourt showed that even Dodger loyalty can be tested...I went in August and there couldnt have been 5k there on a Saturday ....off course there were a total of 3 hits in the game so the product on the field did not draw fans either

well hopefully New York can close this out so we can get on with the Conference finals...Its no wonder the NHL playoffs take so long

Flyers are gone....beaten 4 out of 5 by Jersey....
