Looks like a high school graduation

 

[Pink Mist]

jesus this is bush league shit. sorry Arizona fans, this is indefensible

I'm sure the usual suspects from the Coyotes board have their excuses lined up though

NHL dressing room brought to you by Fabricland!

 

[Polite HKYDiscussion]

The visiting team gets a whole arena to themselves?

That’s awesome!

There’d be so much space to play mini sticks.

 

[Dr Pepper]

At least there's only 4 teams that have to enjoy those accommodations.

Winnipeg, New York (Rangers), Florida and Dallas all drew the short straws, I guess.

 

[Figgy44]

Calgary has an IKEA dressing room and the Yotes decided to one up it.

Damn.

EDIT: Wait, is Mullett Arena the legit name of the arena?

[IranCondraAffair]

I'm sorry but this seems pretty unprofessional.

 

[Whaddagoal]

I dont get how the NHL allows a franchise to be in such a state that they dont have a professional sports venue to play at. I probably missed the 50 threads on this over the offseason but im still amazed and perplexed.

Id put this solely in the NHLs court of ineptitude. Really crazy.

Atlanta thrashers had a pretty good setup and they got sold and moved while this team doesnt even have a professional venue.

What in the hell...

(I really feel for yotes fans)

[Megustaelhockey]

Oy vey. Bettman needs to just admit how wrong he was about this whole situation.

 

[Voight]

My God what a clown show.

Looking forward to more excuses from Yotes fans.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

It's four games, so it's not that big a deal, the funny part to me is how it's mandated to fly private planes and stay at 5 star hotels but then this is allowed.

 

[Turin]

is there another example in pro sports history of a franchise in such shambles year in, year out with such lows being kept? I want hockey to work in the desert too, it’s called Vegas.

 

[Jeune Poulet]

Looking forward to more excuses from Yotes fans.

It's usually more entertaining that the Coyotes themselves.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

this is one of the most unnacceptable things ive seen as far as a pro franchise thing goes

totally embarrassing

 

[SomeDude]

I'm afraid to ask, but...what exactly is the shower situation?

 

[VanillaCoke]

imagine anything like this in the NFL or MLB

If only there were any signs before this that the Coyotes were in a rough spot...

I believe so.

Odd name, considering it's really more of a rec center or gymnasium, rather than an actual NHL arena.

 

[Terry Yake]

all because bettman refuses to swallow his pride and admit that hockey in AZ is a failure

and people wonder why no one gives a shit about the NHL compared to the 3 other major sports
