08:35 AM ET 03.16 | A lot of what is and will happen to the Coyotes is legalese, but the bottom line may be that the team is running out of time. Hopes of seeing its old NHL team come home were raised in Winnipeg when the Goldwater Institute ended months of threats with the announcement it will file a lawsuit to block the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes to Chicago businessman Matthew Hulsizer. True North Sports and Entertainment, which owns the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, wants to buy the Coyotes if the Hulsizer sale collapses. The Winnipeg Jets became the Coyotes in 1996 when they moved south. Glendale city councillor Phil Lieberman, the most prominent opponent of the bond deal on council, thinks Goldwater's announcement will sink the $116 million municipal bond deal that is supposed to finance the NHL's $170 million sale of the Coyotes.

Tune in tomorrow when we'll hear about how the Dwarf pulled some kind of stunt that will guarantee that the Coyotes play at least one more season in Phoenix.

You may be too kind. This story never ends. I'm hoping at least this one evidence of the Dwarf's ineptitude ends soon and they'll be in Winnipeg next season!

Just curious how Mario's idea about having the teams fined works if the Coyotes are still owned by the NHL next year?
