Welcome to (failed) TED Talk - TED is dead.

Okay, Jakey’s correct, people are DUMB. My faith in humanity is lost!

Winnipeg only happened because they needed a location right away that had to be turnkey. The Manitoba Moose operating successfully as an AHL franchise and being able to take the team practically overnight is the only reason the NHL allowed a franchise to move there. Atlanta had nowhere to play and nobody wanted to own them.

The Coyotes have an owner who seems to have very, very little interest in making a go of it in Arizona. He spent nothing on the campaign. They didn’t even try. They’re playing as temporary guests in an NCAA rink.

The NHL does NOT want to go back to Quebec but that’s the only market with a new building, willing owners, and a turnkey operation (The Remparts have been selling 18,000 tickets per game this playoffs). Could this be the one in a million shot Quebec has to get a team? Like Winnipeg did?

Quebec City has population of 550 thousand.I doesn't matter how many tickets they sell.It is not sustainable in a long run.

Before we burn this mf down, DM me if any of you wanna stay connected on socials. We’ve only met each other a few time, but you guys are still my friends

I'm already in the Coyotes discord, which I hope will stay up, but if anyone wants to add me on discord I'm Astolfo#6507 just message me and tell me who you are first lol

@srasner on the gram. My time here is limited brotha.

Been here since 2008. I’ve kind of fallen off following the coyotes the past 3 years or so anyway so a clean break might be in order.

Been fun, lots of excellent people on f40. Feel like I know most of you without ever even meeting you.

I’ll watch the draft and see where that goes but I think the lights are going out haha

Sadly it’s another example of Coyote ownership botching a deal.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Maybe we get an expansion team in 10 years lol

Hell no. The earth here is salted.

The only thing less appetizing than owning the Coyotes for next to nothing is owning them after paying a >$600m expansion fee.

 

[Grimes]

Have fun paying for to clean up the landfill Tempe Taxpayers

not happy about that...

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

This piece of shit state doesn’t want or deserve hockey. Tempe can burn to the ground with their garbage for all I f***ing care at this point

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Just when the team is on the verge of being relevant, it will no longer be in the valley...that is hockey the hard way right there folks. 5yrs from now, we'll be watching another city with the draft picks lift Lord Stanley and it will be depressing beyond belief.

But it will absolutely be what happens.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Hell no. The earth here is salted.

Yea, I agree. The only two paths I see which don’t lead to relo is if Ishbia buys into ownership or Gila River works with Meruelo to put an arena at the 10/202 intersection.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Sorry for you guys.

Not gonna shred a single tear for the organization itself, but the fans don't deserve this. You've all been incredibly loyal and it sucks to see it likely end this way for you.

 

[Kevinsane]

Man, my heart breaks for you folks. This did NOT have to happen. The whiteouts in the early years, the most beautiful jerseys ever, watching Doan and Khabibulin, hoping it would take off and that somebody with some sense could find a way to build a downtown rink..and now this. You deserved so damned much better.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I hate the whole fan of another board dropping by but I just want to say I feel horrible for all of you, as a Panthers fan I know the feeling. You are all welcome to join us. I hope @rt stays around, his trade proposals are always great. This is so shitty.

What’s that, 25% (ish) fewer residents than Winnipeg? I guess that is a lot, if Winnipeg is already 25% below your absolute minimum threshold.

 

[TheLegend]

Why was this a public vote? When the coyotes left Glendale it was a vote by city council

There was going to be a referendum regardless.

You can to this in AZ to counteract a governing body’s decision.

 

[justin323032]

I for one am looking on the bright side. Coyotes merch is going to be selling for pennies on the dollar!!! I can finally upgrade my Rusty Klesla jersey. Wahoo!

 

[jkutswings]

I feel bad for the fans. But with the ownership you guys have had, the NHL should fix the sale price of the franchise at $1 to flip the bird to those nincompoops.

 

[Laus723]

Hoping there’s a way this works out and the Yotes can stay in the state. No fanbase should lose their team.

 

[SniperHF]

Vintage Rusty Klesla sweater >>>>> than new Fanatics trash.

Shame his brains were scrambled great SAH D.

 

[LosPollosHermanos]

I hate being right

I was thinking they started next season but low and behold it's already in the shop. Let's just face it, the NHL sucks.

We are the exception, based on everything I've read lately (and for the past 20 years, really, if I'm being honest).

I want to say I wish I could have the many thousands of dollars I spent as a STH back, but then I remember the nights I spent at the rink with my family and I can't be THAT cynical.

It was a good run, but it's over. Meruelo and the League are outta here in a year or less. I can always cheer for Wrexham.
