On Montreal...


Very interesting text from a great source in Montreal. This source is the stuff legends are made of and he rarely ever spills the beans on anything but he will never hesitate to tell me when I am barking up the wrong tree. He just texted me.." I hope you are able to beef up your servers this weekend in Quebec! Things are about to go completely nuts. Can't say any more but if they pull off what they are trying to pull off ...a parade!"

Phoenix is moving to Quebec or Seattle. Not sure who has the lead. Seattle has an arena that seats $13,000 and no plans on building one unless they get an NBA team. Quebec is building one whether they get a team or not. If Quebec gets Phoenix, they will play in the Western conference until there is an expansion.
