Sabres, NHL, Phoenix await Baum’s decision

On May 5, 2009, the Phoenix Coyotes were filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The owner Jerry Moyes was ejected from ownership, and the Coyotes were up for sale.

Jim Balsillie of BlackBerry Inc. has been searching for an NHL team to move to Hamilton, Ontario. He tried for the Pittsburgh Penguins on October 5, 2006, but NHL commisioner Gary Bettman and Penguins’ superstar Mario Lemieux wouldn’t give up without a fight, and Balsillie left empty-handed.

Balsillie just wouldn’t give up there. On May 23, 2007, Balsillie placed in a bid for the Nashville Predators. The owner, Craig Leipold, had already agreed to sell the franchise, and Balsillie started selling Hamilton Predators tickets.

Balsillie had jumped too far, however, because on June 28, 2007, Leipold changed his mind, and kept the Predators in Nashville. Yet he wasn’t done there!

NOW he wants the Phoenix Coyotes. Everyone against Balsillie has dropped out of the bid, and that has angered the NHL. It has angered the NHL SO much, that they have placed a bid in for the team. Just think, the NHL owns a team. That would keep the Coyotes in Phoenix. The battle has been rough. The NHL placed a $150 million dollar bid in for the bankrupt team, while today, Jim Balsillie upped his bid $30 million, going from $212.5 million to $242.5 million.

Tomorrow, on September 10, 2009, the NHL and Jim Balsillie will battle it out for a weakened franchise. It’s Balsillie vs. Bettman, Sabres & Coyotes vs. Balsillie, Hamilton vs. Phoenix! An epic battle just got better! The Sabres are also involved, because we have fans from Hamilton. Balsillie can’t take away our fans! The war began May 5th, it ends tomorrow!

BTW, Numinater and I like to randomly sing this song. I got the YouTube version:

And we found two funny spoofs to SpongeBob when they were selling chocolate to the wacky fish. Here’s both versions:

Also, Shane Dawson posted a new video on when he was in 3rd grade. Well, here u go:
