hockey in motion

Ok Jim Balsillie, third time's the charm, dude.

Balsillie is the CEO of Research In Motion and die hard Canadian hockey fan, and just made a bid to buy the bankrupt Phoenix Coyotes and move them to southern Ontario. After striking out while trying to acquire Pittsburgh and Nashville, he should definitely be successful this time. There are many reasons this deal should work out...

1) Phoenix stole the team from Winnipeg in the first place. Winnipeg has never been the same since.
2) Southern Ontario has a ridiculous percentage of Canada's population living there... more than enough to support another hockey team. Personnally, I think southern Ontario is filled with many many whiners who believe they live at the centre of the universe *cough Toronto cough* but that doesn't change the fact that it is strategically a great place for a team.
3) Umm.... Phoenix? Seriously, who picked that city in the first place?
4) Canada only has six teams. Duh we should have more.
5) Balsillie seemed so darn excited in the press conference, I think he might cry if he doesn't get this team.

Hell, if I had $212.5 million kicking around, I'd buy them myself. I also wouldn't be job hunting like a maniac to make money so I can move out of this mad-house I live in.

good night

ps. happy cinco de mayo.
