The_Admiral Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 Meruelo not getting an arena permit for the arena he wants to build feels pretty on brand. With the Coyotes continuing as an "observer" and the Utah Hockey Club not able to prepare an identity in a timely manner, it's possible that the NHL has turned one incompetent organization into two incompetent organizations. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real reason the Caps bought the website, and I am completely making this up, is that the Y in CapFriendly reminded Leonsis too much of the Isles logo.

The_Admiral Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 They have an Extremely Online fanbase much like the Hurricanes that makes them seem louder than they really are, but I don't even think most people in Phoenix care. And Phoenix itself just did the same "ugh well if you're the only one who wants it, never mind, forget I said anything" rug-pull that the NHL did when Quebec City applied for the 32nd expansion team. I think most people were burned out on the Coyotes but are especially averse to the crook who owns them now. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have a larger internet fan base than actual living breathing fans that’s crazy because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a coyotes fan online either.

Ah, good old hockey fans. Spend 20 years complaining about the Coyotes and demanding the league move them, then proceed to complain once again as soon as they get moved. Yes, this is a logos/uniforms board so I understand the frustration with the delayed branding, but considering how much work needs to be done over the summer I can't fault Smith for putting the logos/uniforms on the backburner for now.

I've been down to Arizona a couple different times, and caught games out in Glendale. Much like any North American market with 4+ million people, there's no reason why it should be impossible for hockey to work there. Of course a proper arena & competent ownership need to be a prerequisite considering those were the two root causes of the Yotes problems. Also, when it comes to sunbelt markets, Arizona has done a better job of producing NHL talent than most. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people were burned out on the Coyotes but are especially averse to the crook who owns them now. Asked my Phoenix based cousins what the mood is on the ground. The biggest sports fan's response was "There's a small group of culty diehards who are obviously bummed, but most people are indifferent or think it's for the best. I'm not losing any sleep over it." and "we don't have to hear about another arena in Tempe anymore so at least there's that." Also followed up with a text "Always kind of had a hard time caring about them when they were an hour away and always on the verge of moving so I never got emotionally invested." and "Every Coyotes fan I know is weird" and "Kind of made peace with them moving like ten years ago so not that upset about it now." That's a dude who was a child in the 90's when the Jets arrived, grew up in Arizona, went to Arizona State, lives and works in Arizona real estate. Loves the D-backs, Cardinals, Suns, and Sun Devils. A disposable income having, sports loving Phoenix native should be a Coyotes diehard season ticket holder and they never captured him because of everything about them. I think he's kind of a micro case study for everything that went wrong there. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted Tuesday at 02:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:06 PM So is the NHL still going to consider the Coyotes a dormant franchise and Utah and expansion? (My guess is we'll get a dead Thrashers franchise and a Jets franchise with a gap. But that doesn't really answer the above question).

(My guess is we'll get a dead Thrashers franchise and a Jets franchise with a gap. But that doesn't really answer the above question). Given that the whole “Cleveland deal” part of this move was contingent on Alex Meruelo retaining the Coyotes brand and history, I sure hope the league reconsiders for the sake of continuity. I know the history of the Winnipeg Jets v1.0/Arizona Coyotes is hardly anything to write home about (for the right reasons, anyways), but I don’t see any future prospective Arizona NHL ownership group wanting to reactivate the Coyotes lock, stock, and barrel. I say let Utah keep the lineage but continue to carve out their own branding, just like the average NHL relocation. If Arizona manages to land another franchise, they can either go about it just like Winnipeg did with the Jets v2.0 or do something completely different. In the meantime, at least Shane Doan’s number 19 would hang in the rafters somewhere, and it’s not like Utah has done something similar before: Edited Tuesday at 03:21 PM by DustDevil61 Added image, word cleanup 1 Quote http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
