6of1_halfdozenofother Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Cantonese style: the Utah Reborn Salted Fish (Utah 鹹魚翻生) Explanation: In Cantonese, a reborn salted fish (鹹魚翻生) represents a dead person (colloquially referred to as salted fish, or 鹹魚) somehow finding a way to live again or regain life (翻生). Salted fish is used as the term because like a mummy or other preserved carcass of an animal, a salted fish is usually still whole, still in its same shape/form as when it was alive, but very much dead and unable to be reanimated - but yet in Cantonese, the term exists to explain or describe the impossible. Very fitting to describe the joke team playing in Arizona at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter is especially notable, given the uncertainty surrounding the Arizona Coyotes, who are currently playing at Arizona State's Mullett Arena and have been rumored as a potential relocation candidate for Houston. Plans for a new arena for the franchise in Tempe, Arizona were rejected by voters last year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I don't know why the Coyotes didn't move to Houston during the last sale in 2019. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwarrior Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Just get the hell out of Arizona. It hasn't worked since day one financially. I don't really care if they go to Houston or Salt Lake City. Either one has to be better than this shit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Atlanta will happen, it's inevitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 The problem with expansion is that at this point they would need to expand to four cities at once so they don't create uneven divisions. Being in a division of 9 will put you at a disadvantage compared to a division of 8 to make the playoffs. When the league had 30 teams you could make 6 even divisions of 5 and now at 32 teams we have 4 even divisions of 8. 34 is only divisible by 1, 2, 17, and 34 so the league would need 36 teams. But one of the main problems with 4 expansion teams is that it would either result in four really weak teams or it would decimate existing teams. Protection would have to be limited to something like 3 forwards, 2 defensemen, and a goalie. In a Canucks example, we might lose one of Lindholm/Boeser plus Hoglander, Zadorov, and Soucy. I'm also just not sure if there's enough talent to support and additional 100 NHL players and it does start to dilute the league. I would be much more in favor of relocating a couple teams, but really Arizona is the only prime candidate at the moment. San Jose is the only other team that's really struggling at the moment and that's mainly because their team is hot garbage (and also Winnipeg's attendance is suffering but that's a weird situation).

I'm sure Quebec City is patiently waiting for Atlanta to fail (again) for them to step in and white knight them, bringing a Nordiques team back to their city.

luckylager Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Hopefully PHX and FLA are just relocated to SLC and ATL. It's not like the number of teams is suffocating opportunities for talented prospects. If guys like Aman have NHL jobs, I don't feel like the talent needs to be thinned out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Atlanta has failed as an NHL team twice (once as the Flames and then again as the Thrashers). Why would the NHL waste it's time again? Oh right, because they never learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
