Winterhawks owner looking at Phoenix Coyotes?

[santeesioux]

The problem with PA buying a team is i bet he would move them to Seattle. If you're waiting for him to buy a team you would have to hope Seattle already had one.

If I had a dime for everytime the Pittsburgh Penguins or some other NHL team was going to be moving to Portland, I'd have...probably 80 cents by now.

Don't forget the Florida Marlins and Montreal Expos, lol. Can't wait for the Tampa Bay Rays to Portland rumors.

Hey, we landed the Breakers, remember?

Paul Allen does not want another major sports team in Portland. I blame him.

I was always under the impression that Paul wasn't necessarily against the NHL in Portland, just that he wasn't interested in owning a team.

yep, pretty much what I figured. Portland being used as leverage, again.

Another reason why I can't wait until Paul is gone. Tired of his fucking death grip over this town.

I want NFL.

I want NHL.

I want MLB.

Fuck off Paul.

Yeah, Paul's the reason that isn't happening here.

If he legitimately feels like Portland can only support one pro team, then yes, he is.

I don't agree, btw, that Portland can only support one team. That's complete bullshit.

What am I missing here about Paul Allen... why is a man who is worth $15 bill worried about competition from a NHL franchise?

He has less than 5% of his net worth tied up in the Blazers organization...

That's the word on the street... not sure why honestly. I was always led to believe that he just wasn't interested in the NHL.
