Blazers were interested in purchasing NHL Coyotes

Paul Allen always let's us down when it comes to the NHL. I know we are lucky to have him as the Blazers owner. However I do blame him as to why there is no NHL or major sports team in PDX.

If Paul really wants NHL we would have already had one. Portland has had many chances at the NHL and Paul Allen is always the one who kills the idea.

Your posts dont make any sense. Did you not read the article? He tried getting the Penguins many years ago and was a serious candidate to get the Coyotes if they didn't get their arena deal figured out. I think its safe to say that Vulcan and the Blazers will try again and seem to be more serious than ever about getting a team.

I support the Winterhawks as they have a legacy in Portland. They are the 2013 WHL champions, and 2011, 2012, 2013 Western Conference champions.
NHL is a far stretch here in Portland.

I'll believe it when I see it happen.

Well if Paul Allen is like any normal male, striking out twice on potentially buying something should drive his desire to own one even higher. Especially since he's a billionaire who is used to getting what he wants.

Also remember that the guy that owns the Winterhawks wants to bring an NHL team to Portland too and has been pretty active in trying to buy one.
