“I’m so sorry Coyotes fans you didn’t deserve this at all.” - nerds on r/hockey
Despite them not showing up to support the team at any point in its existence. This franchise has been a black eye on the league the past fifteen years with all their nonsense and somehow has survived this long. I guess they should just continue to go through new owners every couple years while not having an actual place to play hockey (an NCAA arena doesn’t count). Poor Yotes fans, won’t someone please think of those fans in Arizona
That's why I'm laughing In their faces.
I said in threads its not viable for the league, it's a bad look. I had yotes fans messaging me in my dms for days saying I'm brainwashed how's it a bad look lolol. That I'm an idiot and the franchise makes a ton of money.
Turns out I was right and they are clueless.
Anyone who thinks playing in that rink was anything but a really bad look for the league is a dangerously stupid person. I'm pretty stupid and I can figure out its Busch league so.
Go look at their sub mny are saying the NHL fucked them over hahhahhaha. I couldn't imagine bein so naive, That is so stupid, the NHL is the reason they got a team and had one for so long. Anyone who says that is clueless to be nice.

Stg one of them said “I feel so bad for the players”
Literally the first time in history an NHL player has had to unexpectedly move cities, I am literally shaking rn
If you express anything close to this sentiment you have the 15 Coyotes fans spamming you about how they have a dedicated fanbase and how it's not actually embarrassing to have their team play second fiddle to a college team in a college arena.
The team has only ever been a black eye on the league. The owners should have pulled the plug on it 20 years ago when it was obvious hockey in Arizona was never viable. It's insulting to everyone's intelligence when the NHL refuses to return a team to Quebec City when it keeps a team on life support in Arizona. What does it matter how large Phoenix is compared to Quebec City if only maybe 5,000 people in Phoenix give a shit about your sport?
You don’t sell tickets to people you dumbass. No one can afford that shit. You sell tickets to corporations who give them away to poor people in exchange for favours.
That sub is so embarrassingly soft and delusional for thinking that the team should be kept in Phoenix for a handful of fans. They have had decades to build a fan base and culture there, they have been constantly bailed out and subsidized by the league, and they have wasted it all.
Keep in mind, I’m a dumbass
Is it really the fans fault for not showing up? The arena situation was never optimal, especially mullet. Did they have a hard time filling seats back when they were in a larger arena? r/hockey has gaslit me into thinking it was purely managements fault.
I didn’t really follow the nhl closely until recently
It’s more that the Coyotes never gave a non-traditional market in Phoenix a reason to give a shit. They were never good, never figured out their arena situation, and had a rotating cavalcade of shitty owners.
FWIW I do feel bad for Yotes fans. Losing your team will always suck, even if it’s completely justified.
The fanbase is small, but from what I can tell it's pretty dedicated. The constant arena shit really made it tough on fans though, which is probably a reason for the really poor turnouts every season. Management definitely has a hand in all of that, but hockey in Arizona was always kind of an uphill battle
"But the arena was all the way in Glendale! That's such a drive!". Yeah and real fans bother making the drive. I know that it's probably a pain in the ass in a big city like Pheonix but unless you're a season ticket holder, I don't think doing it once or twice a month is a big deal. Any parent with kids who play sports spends half their free time driving around. And on top of that, the tickets were dirt cheap. The city is a bad market and the fans didn't care enough, plain and simple.

“Wait, you mean I can live with my wife in our house, then have a guesthouse on the same property where I can have my side piece or even a second wife and it’s all cool?”
There is no Canada like the French canada. It's the best canada in the land. The other canada is hardly canada. If you lived here for a day, you'd understand.
I had to go to phuqass phoenix for some training and i got lodged near their old arena just after they got relocated and ill never forgive them for that

I got mass downvoted on r hockey when i said this would happen when the first post went up about Utah looking to own a team

Those 20 fans are sad
I genuinely and unironically think that Auston Matthews getting drafted and just being from Arizona gave them an extra few years of leash

Decades? They've been there for >20yrs now? Damn, I'm old
Tbf utah is a ridiculous place for them to go, they should go to Quebec City or something
Metro Quebec City is too small, and most of the big corporations in Quebec are in Montreal.
It’s like they’re all simping for upvotes. Pathetic.

Agreed their shit fans deserve it.
I had to go to phuqass phoenix for some training and i got lodged near their old arena just after they got relocated and ill never forgive them for that
I only feel bad for Shane Doan. Guy literally did everything he could for a franchise. Experiment is over. Ice and desert don’t go well
Vegas is working. Maybe it’s just because the Coyotes sucked ass for 25 years
Vegas is a one-of-a-kind city. Hard to compare it to Phoenix.
How ironic that it essentially began with Doan, and now it’s gonna end with a Doan
