[quote]Not trying to make a rivalry, just having a lighthearted poke at everyone saying the Coyotes will get crushed by the Blackhawks. That's all. You'd do the same if it were your team.

Besides. We don't need a rivalry with you. We've already got Detroit. But, I still love Pan.

Lol it will be a nice palate cleanser not to have to play y'all in the playoffs. I'm ok with getting spanked by Nashville and goin' home to retirement watches
We've all been hoping and praying that we got to face someone else in the first round this year. Though I still maintain that the Doan injury is the reason we didn't win the series two years ago. Last year just wasn't even fair, from Howard playing out of his mind, to the "Coyotes are moving to Winnipeg" bullshit that came out of Detroit the day before the series started.

Ya that's certainly no way to start the playoffs. It should be a better go around this time, and I frankly can't stand some of the players in Chicago so I won't be upset if they lose lol.

I felt like our home winning streak was a similar curse. Never feel right about teams being so dominant at useless times like that...ask the Patriots, for instance, about their "perfect season" sorry PJ lol! We blew it all on that record

We've been over 70% attendance for most of our playoff push... which is actually pretty significant. Remember something very important... crowds during the regular season don't always matter, look at what underdog teams like the Marlins have done with their two runs to being World Series Champions while getting far less fan support than the Coyotes get in Phoenix. What matters is the support in the playoffs, and we fill the house up for playoff games.
Try working at an 85+% plus during the regular season and we shall see if you fill the place for the playoffs.. Than come back to me..

You have both of those mixed up. The Penguins and Predators are both the 4th seed in their respective conferences.
You mixed these up too... way to put the Division Champs down.
I just switched them without bothering which was which from Patrick's list.. I really don't care about their classification as the playoffs are a new season all it's own..

I just know the Canucks have home Ice all the way through ( as long as we keep winning )

*sarcastic finger twirl*

How 'bout you try and fill an arena with constant rumors that the team is going to move. People don't want to get emotionally invested in a team that may or may not be there the next season... not to mention the crap ownership we've had over most of our tenure in Phoenix. We've filled the place in the playoffs the last two years, I don't see any reason why this year will be any exception. God, I can't stand you fucking elitists with your superior attitudes... how 'bout you let us enjoy our time in the playoffs without acting like a bunch of fucking jackasses.

We did.. They were called the Vancouver Grizzlies.. NBA.. we still had many season ticket holders and they still took the team to "argh" Memphis.. So been there and done that..

30 years of the Montreal Expos and they decimated that team as well. Granted they did everything to drive the fans away, to the point where games were not allowed on Montreal Radio or TV.. How the hell could you get fans to go to a game with no fan base..

So not only once bitten but twice shy..

Don't call me elitist..

Then how 'bout you stop acting like a jackass about it... or are you just bitter and want other fanbases to experience what you did. The difference between the Coyotes and the Grizzlies is that the Grizzlies always sucked. You averaged an amazing .281 winning percentage and never finished above 7th in the division in the six years they spent in Vancouver.

Again... it's pretty sad that you seem to actually want other teams and fans to experience the same thing. Bunch of haters.

Don't call me elitist..
I won't... when you stop acting like one.

Also, don't forget that there's no money to pool into advertising the team! We have no billboards or commercials locally. It's hard to know when the team is playing when no one hears anything about them except how likely it is that the team will be moving to (pick your city of choice) next year. If we can get an owner who can put money into actually advertising the team, it'd be great!

Excuse me.. If anyone is acting childish its you right now. I merely pointed out facts and I did say I would like the Coyotes to win, however I don't think they will but that's just my opinion just as you believe the Canucks will get knocked off in the first round.. You don't see be ragging on you for your analysis.

That being said, the Coyote were no where near what the Grizzlies were.. Grizzlies were an expansion team that started from scratch.. You inherited the Winnipeg Jets that had been in existence for 24 season and had won 3 division titles.. Quite a difference would you not agree ?

Funny... the Raptors were an expansion team starting from scratch as well, and they're still in Toronto, and made the playoffs after four seasons. Nice try though.

I'm not childish, I'm defending my team from someone that seems like they would relish a fanbase losing their team. But, that's to be expected from a Canadian hockey fan... excuse us for being sick and fucking tired of all you haters blasting our team, fans, and practically giddy over the prospect of us moving.

Oh, and the Jets never won their division.... seeing as how we just won our first Division Championship in franchise history. Yes, franchise, you know... that word that includes the 24 year history that you referenced. WHA division crowns don't count when we're talking about the NHL, sorry.

That's a great comparison.. If you want to look at it that way, I could say that it was the same year the Jets and Nordiques moved.. Jets to Phoenix and Nordiques to Denver.. Funny how Colorado won the Stanley Cup that next year and has not been a drain on the league..

So because the Grizzlies were trying to put more into the team and the fans supported it, but your anger at me saying Phoenix will lose this year in the cup race justifies this trash talk while I still believe they are a good team.. Good for you retro..

Except that we've actually had success.... we've just had shitty ownership over the course of our time in Phoenix. A slight correction for you, the Nordiques moved to Denver for the 95/96 season, while the Coyotes headed to Phoenix starting with the 96/97 season. That all being said... you have to look at the talent that the Nordiques had when they moved to Denver in the first place... they had Sakic, Forsberg, Roy, Deadmarsh, Foote, and Kovalenko. They had won their division in the year prior to moving to Denver, and were considered a team on the rise.

You also seem to be unable to pay attention to what has been said. I haven't even mentioned your predictions for the first round, and if you would've bothered to read what I've said to you carefully, you would've known that. I made a comment about you disparaging the team and its fans... big difference there chief. Well, I did technically mention your predictions, but only the fact that you fucked up the middle seeds in both conferences... but I didn't say anything about you predicting a Coyotes loss in the first round.

Oh, and for the record... when I first started following hockey back in the early-mid 90s, I was actually a Nordiques (during their last season) and then Avalanche fan. Truth be told, I decided to watch hockey after seeing our local WCHL team play, and picked a team at random, mostly cause I liked their name. Then I stopped really watching or keeping track of it toward the late 90s, and didn't get back into it until Ana and I went to two Coyotes games in Dec. 2009. So I'm a recent, but dedicated and passionate Coyotes fan.

Openly rooting for a fanbase to lose its team is.
