They not put team their more problems like now
Meruelo is pathetic. The Coyotes and their young core would still be in Glendale if he signed the lease. Instead, it negan the pricess that ended with the move to Salt Lake City
what an absolute embarassment for both of these guys not only have they not been able to fill any of the seats in any of the places they have placed this team but they have been trying to ram this team from city to city hoping they build a fanbase. They had a fanbase in the 90s when they got the team from Winnipeg but years of mediocrity killed this team. Ray Ferraro said it best that this team should have been move 20 years ago.
It doesn't work.. GIVE UP!
We all knew … don't give us this BS about not knowing till yesterday. The amount of BS that comes out of his mouth..
a bit embarassing for them to dodge questions, when they should be the one’s responsible. It is not too to soon ask about the AHL teams future.
If they would be a normal company this would not slide.
TOP 10 ?? What are they smoking. Just cause there are people doesn't mean they will come. They have rejected hockey over and over and over again. Just as one reporter said. Ticket sales in Utah are far greater than they ever were in Arizona … and Utah isn't even the best spot in the USA to put a team. Let alone Canada.
Gary Bettman is the Vince McMahon of Hockey ….. discuss .. I cant wait for him to be gone.
Hockey has been around for over twice this guys lifetime … and he's talking about 5 years like it means something…… 🤡
Buttman behaved more like a protective mother than a league spokesman.
Clearly, he has been the *only reason it took this long. Awkward as phuqk.
Bobblehead blaming taxpayers for not gifting a bigger venue to his millionaire pal.
Why does Gary always move like a bobble head when he talks
This man is destroying hockey. He is systematically killing everything that is good and pure about out game. This is the most mismanaged league on the planet and he should be locked up. Our game was beautiful and he's turning it into a decaying corpse.
I'm shocked Gary Bettman is still there. He straight up HATES any NHL teams in Canada and has actively been ONLY promoting hockey in the US. Even in cities where it doesn't work or wanted by most. How do you think the Nordigues went to Denver? The NBA needed a Team in the same arena to save that NBA team at the time. FACT.
Bettman says they shall be back in Phoenix and they shall also be back in Quebec and Quebec should get a team back before Phoenix
They are hoping in a few years people forget about the Coyotes lol
The utter disdain in their faces is hilarious
Imagine not paying your bills, showing massive fiscal irresponsibility, and STILL getting the chance to own a team in five years. This is some Zionist rhetoric.
Ice doesn’t hold up well in the desert. Another failed NHL team, Batman isn’t the right man for this sport
merlo a slimey snakeoil salesman…bettman is an egotistical hypocritical piece of ….
Bettman a very unlikable person, acts like a dictator, as for Alex, he looks lost.
What a slime bag
Just something so unlikable about the way Bettman speaks…the head tilt, consistent head shake, and condescending tone that make him sound so pompous not matter what he's saying
23:01 LOL
“I don’t know anything about unpaid bills.” Well, the rest of the world does. This guy is a joke…treated the team like a joke and has no business being an NHL owner. Does he have something over Bettman?
“A lot of sleep lost to get this done.” “ I personally knocked on people’s doors and my family did.” Guess what: you deserve no sympathy, so stop trying to pander for some.
This could be good. A new start with a new stadium and none of the crap that was with the bad ownership of the past.
This guy is a piece of crap
Doesn't seem like bettman trusts meruelo to answer questions – constantly jumping – foolish for meruelo to talk about moving roadrunners – I believe he still has some time left on his lease in Tucson – he probably should get out of the business altogether -: deer in the headlights
Everytime I see Gary Speaking, I fully expect him to start counting and laughing between numbers as lightning strikes around him. 1…. bahahaha, 2…..bahahaha, 3……bahahaha. Those of us old enough to remember sesame street will get it.
I'm surprised that he didn't move them to Atlanta. Bettman is utterly useless. He's probably looking for a new Canadian team to move to Arizona. They'll be named the Utah Jizz. Should be able to quickly create a logo.
He’s awfully stupid sounding for such a rich/successful person. Impossible to like this guy. He’s almost as bad as that little weasel to his left.
Very cringy.
This guy didn’t do himself many favours here lol.
Alex is a goof need to do better NHL
“You wouldn’t be around if you didn’t pay your bills, that’s all I have to say about that” 😂😂😂
The name Alex Meruelo will go right next to Walter Omalley if he doesnt get this done. Lets face it the boys are gone. Even though Ny eventually got the Mets it wasnt the same.
I really don't know what it is about bettman, annoyances with his management with the league aside, he just seems so smug.
Quebec??? Would have been a better option with commited fans, team history and a walk in facility. Not surprised from dumb and dumber…
Gary is America that favours American teams over Canadian teams always . Gary you can take are hockey 🏒 but we taking your basketball hahaha Raptors grrrr Gary clown 🤡 boy Any team could be part of NHL even Alaska as long it is America made . Like Gary the all American perfect poster boy looks like a clown 🤡 it is a Question ⁉️ clown is Gary really a clown 🤡
All I have to say is Bettnan can go puck himself!
now Arizona knows the hurt they put on winnipeg in 97… suck it arizona!!! haha.
34:20
"Give me a little bit of time and it'll be addressed immediately" 😂
Nhl teams move around like musical chairs
