In which the voice of reason interviews Gary Bettman, NHL Commissioner, about the troubled Phoenix Coyotes.
Reason: Yet another NHL-approved potential owner for this troubled franchise has either bailed out or not qualified to buy the team. What now?
Gary: The Coyotes are staying in Phoenix.
Reason: How long will this go on?
Gary: As long as it takes.
Reason: Even while other investors have the money to move the team to Canada?
Gary: The Coyotes are staying in Phoenix. We owe it to their fans.
Reason: You mean like you owed it to the fans of Quebec and Winnipeg?
Gary: Look, I made it my mission to provide every opportunity possible to salvage this franchise and I believe we have a viable franchise in Phoenix. We just need time.
Reason: If Phoenix is such a sure thing, why doesn't the league just permanently invest in the team itself?
Gary: I think we're done here....
