It’s, uh, hockey weather here in Glendale, Ariz., where the high is expected to reach 94 degrees. But it’s a dry heat. Here’s how things look this morning. Glendale is such a mixed bag. The area immediately surrounding the arena is quite nice, with a massive restaurant/bar/retail scene — seen partially to the right — but the nearby area just hasn’t developed much. I remember coming here in 2005, not long after the arena opened, and hearing all about how the population/construction boom would carry out to Glendale. Well… At one point, the Coyotes were in serious discussions with the city of Scottsdale to build an arena there, but that fell through. One wonders how an arena there might have impacted fan support. It’s a great arena here, though, perhaps my favorite in the NHL. The Kings will be on the ice for their morning skate at 11:30 a.m.
