Which means the Coyotes are located in a poor spot and should be relocated to an area that can support a team.

Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of people in Phoenix, just not in Glendale. Your're talking 250K vs 1.5 million+.

Buffalo has so many people within a 4 hour drive it's insane.

The metro Phoenix population is 4.8 million people as of 2020.

I meant the city but that's a great number. Within 4 hours of Buffalo are Toronto (nearly the entire golden horseshoe 13M? ) Detroit, Pittsburgh, all kinds of cities in between.


I agree with you guys that hockey can succeed in Phoenix.

there was a certain tone of sarcasm in my response, I know that’s hard to detect behind a keyboard, so I’ll let you get away with it

Please don't lump me in or use that on my posts man. I can't (frank)ing stand this whole teamwhiner vs teambenning or whatever the hell is trending in here. People have objective opinions, some people more negative than others, some more positive than others, labels are (frank)ing stupid (this isn't directed just at you, it goes for everyone in here who says that poop)

Whatever you want dude. Because you are a cool cat I will avoid the term with you when I can...but when they ask for it...they will get it.

Oh here I thought maybe you were the player’s advocate and were looking for some feel good stories to get everyone back on board. I must have misread your subtleties.

Why is four hours the thing? Who is driving 8 hours round trip to watch a hockey game?

Hockey could succeed in Phoenix, but it needs the perfect balance and equation to be successful. Strong ownership, new location, rebranding, better team, better PR, etc. Move that team to just a better/more invested city and voila, it'll be so much more successful.

Four hours is pretty much what it takes to get on a plane and fly for an hour. Aside from that it doesn't really matter.

Phoenix is such a draw weather wise .......instead of home / away why not 2 on the road? Friday/Sunday

Of course they'll be better served by strong ownership but it's difficult to obtain when the business plan has you bleeding $20M a year.

Appreciate it man. I hate it, not just from one side, both. We are all grown men, but are labeling people one way or another for expressing an opinion that goes against your own. It's just silly in my mind. Everyone here has good thoughts and opinions, they shouldn't be labeled or ridiculed for going against the grain or the norm

In May of 2023, esteemed law firm Long and Schuster accepted a reduced payment for their services to the AZ Coyotes in spring 2021.

Good one Wedgie

Thanks for the Novel Lefty. Interesting read.

Vantel - Burt said he would move back to Canada (Vancouver) if Biden won the election, I wouldn’t trust anything he says.

Codesey, hope you had a great day.

I HAD SOMETHING FOR K MAN TOO BIT NOW I HAVE FORGOTTEN. Also, not meaning to yell.
