They came back in the second.

Still have the game on. It's been wild since the second period started.

Overtime here we go...

Sun Devils win!

Sun Devils win!

They played so bad and still pulled it off.

Puck management was horrendous.

Sound up for this….. entire arena held their breath for half a second as he got the shot off.



Sound included here was the call from the Fox10 crew.

ASU draws Denver for the semifinals. Last year's Frozen Four Champions.

ASU's record was 3-0-1 against them during the regular season.

11/22/24 @ASU W 3-2
11/23/24 @ASU W 5-2
02/07/25 @Den L (OT) 4-5
02/08/25 @Den W (OT) 6-5

how can he play college hockey when he played juniors in Canada?

Rules changed months ago

 

[Summer Rose]

Also of note, while he did play major junior, which would have previously disqualified him from playing in the NCAA (but not anymore), the team he's coming from is a Canadian university team - the University of Alberta Golden Bears.

Good riddance. Hope he never sets foot in the state of Arizona again.

IIRC..... he bought it for a little over $12 million.

 

[Arizonatah]

I'm going to pretend he spent $20M renovating and sold it at a loss.

 

[Jamieh]

Arizona sure was good for that Asshat

Not actually sure if that's the house he originally bought at $12 though. The pictures make it look that way.

He owed 4 in all. One for him, one for each of the kids, and XG.

He bought Xavier's house? This amuses me regardless of veracity.

Yeah AM can laugh all the way to the bank, again.

 

[Freakshow]

I predict there will be another NHL team here in the valley within the next five years. Build the arena in a central location and they will come!!

 

[Snarky Coyote]

I was returning to this thread to just say AM was an asshat. That is all. (and the last few posts confirm the guy pulls money out of this state time and time again despite his lack of success). On a completely non related note Go Panthers

 

[Llewzaher]

..Pranking Coyotes ice girls as well as people on the street

This feels like following your wife on Facebook after she divorced you

Just scanned through Craig Morgan's latest substack. He did a poor man's 32 thoughts (as he put it)

NHL Reflections: A poor man's 32 thoughts

Musings on the Stanley Cup Final, the NHL Draft, free agency, the Utah Mammoth, and Arizona hockey

One thing he noted was there's been no drop in hockey participation since the Coyotes left.

Also.... in regards the Vegas coming in to lure some fans in with cheeky events, there's been very little other than that. Vegas has made no real effort on supporting the youth hockey end.

Neither has Ryan Smith with Utah, but Smith still has a lot on his plate right now with getting Delta Center expanded and developing the youth/adult hockey programs within Utah.

Add in Colorado.... who suddenly has triggered blackouts here..... MY opinion is right now all three of these teams are just interested in is selling streaming subscriptions and maybe a little merch sales..

Also mentioned there is some work being done on getting the NHL back to Arizona. But they are going to keep a very low profile for now because they don't want to make that same mistake of over-promising and under-delivering like all the previous Coyotes ownerships did

I don't mind that at all. If/when Arizona gets another team, I'd rather they wait until all the stars align for doing it the right way this time around instead of rushing it with the possibility of a grifter and/or bad deal. If that makes it take 20 years to finally come along, then so be it.
