It was clearly in both Glendale and Phoenix interests to prevent a 3rd 20,000 seat arena from being built. I don’t think that the goal was to kill the Coyotes. That was just a consequence, pleasant as it might have been, to preventing a 3rd arena.
Gary was shortsighted on this one. They never should've put in Glendale back in the early aughts but it was dumb to pull out literally right as the area has seemed to hit that exponential curve. The growth has exploded the past 5 years and with a noticeable increase in high income earners. It's so frustrating, it's like watching someone who didn't want to run a marathon but signed up anyway, then proceeded to drop out of the race at about mile 25 mark. So f***ing stupid.
Instagram sucks period.
First of all, Utah’s fan enthusiasm is palpable, secondly his response could have been measured and thus less enthusiastic.Like the guy is going to say…. “Utah sucks”?
This is Llama-esque stuff.
I'm not laying any fault on any of the players whatsoever and I'll be damned if I can fathom a reason you came to that conclusion.
That's entirely possible "dude", only time will tell.
No, I am not. What I did was copy and post a couple Sean Durzi quotes to this forum. I think you need help with not only your basic comprehension, but your ability to not rope yourself into round three.Are you comparing the excitement for Utah's inaugural season, a fresh start, to the ever deteriorating situation over the years in Arizona? Some of the points you use beating this dead horse are really desperate because that comparison is apples to coyotedroppings.
It's amazing what a little effort to whip up excitement can do. Our band of grifters completely wrote off the fans, especially in Glendale. Remember the Welcome Back Whiteout? I still have the T-shirt they gave out. If they really wanted to get the fans engaged instead of driving us away to support their narrative, they would have at least tried something. The dwindling fans is exactly what they wanted though.
just more coyotedroppings (BS).
Except for the fact that they won't have decades of relocation drama, bankruptcy, the complete collapse of the economy and indifference from grifter owner after grifter owner. That and the fact that they will actually be marketing to their fans and the ton of young talent that was earned through our suffering should give them a hell of an advantage over us. Sean Durzi probably has no clue at all what we went through. All he saw was a college arena constantly less than full.
I mean the fans in Arizona were incredibly excited for the team to come over from Winnipeg. They were also at the arena in droves when the team was good, like the 2012 WCF team. There were plenty of white outs and fan support when the team was decent to good.
Let your imagination run wild my friend!
My basic comprehension skills are enough to know that you had intent when you posted those quotes and just what that intent was. You're not fooling anyone by using comprehension skills as a cover up.
We get it, your entire life is based around living in a market that has an NHL team. Time to get a life or move to Utah yourself…
LOL, why the hell would I move to a market that has a worse outlook than the Yotes had originally? You're right though, I absolutely love going to the games, but that hardly defines me, outside of this forum and 41 nights a year.
It has NEVER been about the fans or fan support. You're smarter than that. It's always been about the money the stream of grifters could make off subsidies and/or a land deal. We never had an owner rich enough to just own the team. Every person with that kind of cash that wanted the team was for relocation. That's why Meruelo's scheme to get the team sold for relocation money when the NHL wouldn't allow it for 3 decades was a genius move. When he couldn't get his huge project, he pivoted to the next best source for ROI. The sorry sack of shit fooled us and Betman and I hope he chokes on every dollar.
I think it is and has been, or I wouldn't have been saying so for 15 or so years now.
