Kansas City has the best arena available, we just don't have an ownership group which sucks.

Bring back the Scouts.

**Bearcat** · 01-31-2013, 03:11 PM

Just move the damn franchise already... they made the conference finals last year and not only are they one of 3 teams not filling their arena to ~95% capacity, they are at 72%.

They showed a stat during the Avs game last night... 5 games in, they're at -24 minutes of PP time to PK time. 10 minutes or one whole penalty/game more than the next worst team. And if that's not bad enough, their PP is 5% and their PK is 72%.

It doesnt help that the mayor and power s that be have said they make more money without a team.

They might be right.

The economy in KC is stretched pretty tight; I really don't think giving tax incentives, etc... to bring a hockey team in here is going to be cost effective. With the Chiefs, Royals and now even Sporting, there are only so many pro sporting dollars that are going to be spent in KC and many of those are already spoken for.

And ultimately, KC might be a better soccer market than hockey anyway (which is just weak).

I'd have loved to have seen a hockey team in KC, but I just don't think it's realistic. At best, you'd have a team that drew fans when it kicked ass or when the local economy was roaring, but then it would move as soon as it hit a dry patch. It's already happened once with the Scouts and again in the NBA with the Kings.

KC is properly positioned as a 2 major sport town, IMO.

ChiefsCountry · 01-31-2013, 04:25 PM

Kings left town because a California group bought the team the year Jordan came into the league. They left right when the NBA was about ready to boom. Kings actually had local ownership during their time in KC. Scouts problem was they had like 30 owners and none of them had real deep pockets. Both of those teams had owners that made David Glass look like Mark Cuban. Both leagues have changed economically since then has well.

So its back to where I said before, it comes down to ownership.

Tarasenko. Again.

3-0 Blues over Jackets, late 1st period.

Ive became a blues fan simply because I win some deal from papa johns everytime the blues win by 3 or more goals. They must be kicking ass this year.

They have to win and score three or more. Not win by three or more.

50% off your order, IIRC.

It's happened in all 5 wins this year, and going to happen again tonight.

**OnTheWarpath58** · 01-31-2013, 07:34 PM

Andy Mac misses an empty net from the top of the circle.

**OnTheWarpath58** · 01-31-2013, 07:35 PM

That might be the ugliest 4-1 win I've ever seen.

**DaFace** · 02-02-2013, 08:06 AM

So...yeah. This wasn't so good.

Shocking that the Blues would be on the wrong end of a call in Detroit. That's a clean hit.

Was a damn good game until that call decided it.

Used to it, moving on.

DJ's left nut · 02-02-2013, 08:14 AM

**** the Red Wings so much.

That was a perfectly clean hit and Backes not only gets 2 minutes but he gets thrown out of the game.

The NHL's protection of that bullshit franchise is a ****ing disgrace, especially at Joe Lewis. Hopefully garbage calls like this will open some eyes to this nonsense.

Someone tell Shanny that none of his ****ing teammates play there anymore so we can stop openly protecting them.
