Not a hockey fan but I feel terrible for the Coyotes fans.
I think it's suck
NO ONE CARED OR CARES ABOUT HOCKEY IN THIS STATE!! WE HAD NO BUSINESS HAVING A HOCKEY TEAM!! ENOUGH OF THE GOODBYES!!
Agreed that hockey is not an Arizona sport. Those coyotes ownership heads are horrible. They treated employees like crap.
If the east valley fans wanted them to stay they should have let them build an arena in Gilbert and tax the them for it. I voted yes for Tempe but the other party scared voters about taxes and rent going up!
Since the start of the 2003-2004 NHL season, the Coyotes have made the playoffs 4 times! That is 4 times in 21 arduous, tortuous seasons. They were eliminated in the first round in two of these appearances. This franchise has been nothing but a cruel joke perpetrated on hockey fans in the Valley. They have never been any good, but I am sure they will hit their stride as a successful team in Salt freakin' Lake. The Coyotes have some good your players who might actually be good for a while. Of course they are leaving. Good riddance to this piece of crap franchise. If we do get an expansion team, you can bet they will not have the kind of success that the Golden Knights or Kraken have achieved. This franchise stinks on ice.
IM SO HAPPY HOCKEY IS GONE GOOD RIDDANCE
Can’t support another team owned by this jackass
If you have a competent owner who brings a competitive product to the ice. Hockey will have a huge following. We were plagued by terrible owners and a terrible product on the ice. The owner got his money bag and I don't think we will ever get hockey here again.
Rewind back to 1996, when a young boy's heart broke as he felt helpless, losing his NHL hockey team from a passionate Canadian market to some city in a southwestern hot desert. That boy wished upon a star that one day, the desert would also lose that team and feel the same pain he felt. 26 years later, the wish the boy forgot he made came true. 🫢 Sorry, Yotes fans 🫣
The money to build is only going up every year on material… BUT… Az is the easiest place to build with the best people to do it… something else is going on … I have been there… and there was a manager issue… and a horrible announcer… that made fans want to listen to Az hockey… it was an experiment that FAILED.. and ruined these players familys lives…the legacy… isnt over but paused… Covid money made people make money and have street cred in business.. that have no business there… get back to basics
7:15 –> "plausible" was totally an acceptable word for that sentence, Gambo.
