Sv: Jim Balsillie köper Penguins

Deas: Då var det tydligen klart att Isle of Capri inte fick någon spel-licens.

"The decision by the gaming commission was terrible news for the Penguins, their fans and the NHL,'' Bettman said in a statement. ''The future of this franchise in Pittsburgh is uncertain and the Penguins now will have to explore all other options, including possible relocation. The NHL will support the Penguins in their endeavours.''

"The board voted unanimously to award the city's only slot-machine licence to Detroit-based casino developer Don H. Barden's PITG Gaming. Barden's group proposes building a casino and entertainment development on the city's North Shore, near Heinz Field and PNC Park. Both the Steelers and Pirates were strongly opposed to his plan.

Barden had promised to contribute some money for a new arena over 30 years under a plan proposed by city and county officials that would include public funds. But that plan also calls for the Penguins to help pay for the facility."


Sv: Allmän tråd för NHL
Rip Kirby: skulle säga att detta var nyckeln gällande det mentala, nu kan man inte bli svepta, man lyckades studsa tillbaka OCH äntligen få ett mål från förstakedjan. Nu kan det släppa och man har ingen kniv mot strupen i Vegas.

Nu kan allt hända!
