I just can't fathom why there are so many Coyotes fans being insufferably smug about this whole thing. "Oh you'd be defensive too if it was your team," was one response I saw and, uh, no, I'd be fuckin pissed and burying my face in my hands (more than I am now, to be clear) if the Flyers ended up in this situation.

:smug: HEH, they keep saying we are going to get relocated but looks like we are only being moved into a dorm room closet and ONLY for a few months until we get an even BIGGER room. Canadian teams, you mad yet? 😎🤣😂🤣😂

drat can't believe those rando people on Twitter are saying stupid poo poo.

Of course I'm pissed at the Coyotes for doing this. It's incredibly frustrating that the new owners bought the team in 2019 and started doing everything as combative as possible with their arena situation to try and get clearance to leave Arizona. It's also very annoying that every other fanbase does get to pretend that they're somehow better than Coyotes fans for not having an owner as lovely as them.

He can show flashes of brilliance, but he's never been a full-season NHL caliber player. Good if you need an extra winger to plug a hole in your lineup.

I played a game at allstate arena many years ago, they set us up in a nearby conference room to get dressed because all the locker rooms were in use by the AHL teams. Not sure we could have used them even if they'd been empty, but whatever.

NHL players are getting ready for games in the same quality of facilities as me, a terrible beer league player, did. Even if it's temporary that's hilarious, the Coyotes are a joke.

Im not a guy getting mad but. I think maybe gratitude probably is what they expect. Like you guys could say thank you to fans of other teams in an apologetic way, kind of acknowledging that its bad that people who cheer for normal teams have to keep having anything to do with the yotes? Maybe you could say like Hey guys. Sorry about everything. We really appreciate how crappy this all is. We're trying our best and we know that right now its not nearly enough.

The sad thing is that the Coyotes fanbase did yell at the leadership and it resulted in this absolute shitshow. Back when they were in Glendale, there were constant town hall meetings where fans would go and yell at the leadership like below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UfOfAvNVJU

Really, since the new owners turned out to be absolutely awful the only remaining ray of hope Coyotes fans have is that Doug Armstrong built the Blues' cup winning team and seems like he's made all the right moves since. Everything else has just been depressing as hell. Especially the John Chayka poo poo like drafting Mitchell Miller.

It's fine and also easy to acknowledge bad things teams do like employing rapists or having a dressing room that's a guy named Jeff holding up a towel and asking "You done yet?" every 17 seconds. Even when you like them.

Well you're thinking of current GM of the cup winning Blues DOUG Armstrong.

Current Coyotes GM is BILL Armstrong (who worked for the blues in scouting and also is an rear end in a top hat according to that front office thing the Athletic put out plus the Rick Westhead piece about the scout who'd been sexually abused and was cut by the Blues when his story came out)

Also, wasn't Chayka gone when they drafted Miller and Armstrong was hired but not allowed to be part of the draft?

Do they even have showers or a proper bathroom available? Even the youth locker rooms at most of the small rinks here have a toilet and shower. Or at least one nearby. Ironically, the Kraken rink is brand new and they didn't put in a lot of the basics. Like water fountains close to locker rooms or the ice. Or having showers/toilets connected to all the locker rooms.

I know they have them for the team arena, but they did a lovely job with a lot of the architectural details that go into a rink too. Like having wide enough doors so that you can get a bag through them. They do however have a normal locker room at the arena which is probably why beer is $16. Showers are expensive I guess.

Bill was the assistant GM for the Blues but yeah Chayka was gone and the draft was left to the scouts left over since Armstrong could not participate. Those scouts were mainly from the London Knights previously which had some baggage apparently and Bill is the one that fired them.

Good point. I'll prepend every post I have from now on apologizing for everything my favorite hockey teams have done that was wrong.

And yeah I did get the names and timelines wrong about the Coyotes' drafting. In my defense, I didn't want to think about any of it as it was just really loving sad.

RIP. $10 tickets in the upper bowl, your pick of seats in the lower bowl. great place to see a game as an away team.


in more optimistic news, I was looking at the possible USA team for next year's World Cup and it looks great. I came up with:

F: Gaudreau-Matthews-Kane
Connor-Eichel-Guentzel
Tkachuk-J. Hughes-Tkachuk
Kreider-Miller-Robertson

extra/other candidates: Debrincat, Larkin, Pavelski, Thompson, Zegras, Norris(RIP)

D: Slavvin-McAvoy
Hanifin-Fox
Q. Hughes-Carlson

extra/other candidates: Faulk, Krug, Tony D, Seth Jones, McDonagh, Trouba

G: Hellebuyck
Demko
Oettinger

Canada's forwards are better, but I think the US D and definitely goalies are better. I might make a thread for this, because I was looking at Canada's goalies and I may be missing someone but who the gently caress is going to play net for them? Jarry/Binnington/Fleury/Kuemper/Talbot? Logan Thompson?

I think it'll be unquestionably Jarry and Kuemper as the main two, and then Maple Leafs legend James Reimer as the 3rd.
