Hockey in Arizona? Why Not?

A saying the Coyotes are living by this season, Hocky in Arizona Why not? The reason being their latest troubles with a flawed bankruptcy case that is currently on going. In a failed attempt to bring the Coyotes to Canada, team owner faked financial troubles to sell the team to Blackberry owner Ballsillie in order to move them to Canada. That of course is no more and now the Coyotes are seeking a new owner, an owner that knows what he is doing. So I ask, why should the Coyotes stay?

"They should move because they have no fans" is a commonly heard phrase I want to get out of the way. Do you people honestly believe what the media tell you everyday? There are no fans because the media keeps pounding that in our heads, the Coyotes have been on a losing streak for a while now. Not making the playoffs for 7 seasons at such a young age is hard for any team. Remember back when they were winning all the fans they had? A Coyotes game was a luxary, even in the bad arena. If you want to fight and say their are no fans, then where was all these Cardinal fans two years ago? You know back when they couldn't even sell out a college football stadium. Why do all the Suns fans suddenly get quiet when they miss the playoffs? Its a stupid saying and couldn't be any more wrong. The media needs to stop stating it, and don't worry Ill remember every station saying it now when they try to jump on our bandwagon come June.

"The Stadium in glendale is too far!" Get off your butt and support the team if your a fan. Not every team can be built in your backyard. Do you know how many people in Texas travel across the state to see the Star or Cowboys? How many people travel to see the Cubs in Chicago? People do it because they love the team, especially if they are winning. West side people never complain about going downtown to see the Dbacks or Suns, Cardinals "fans" never complain about going to see them. If the team is winning people will come, end of story.

Laslty, Coyotes are the pride in the desert. Other than the Suns, they Coyotes always get the TV and radio contracts. Coyotes fans will be heard everywhere, and when they are winning they will be seen everywhere. Even with 7 losing seasons the Coyotes still averaged 10k seats per game, nearly sold out crowds on the weekends. The Coyotes White Out during playoff games is still rated one of the most astonishing sports events on any sports network. When the Coyotes are winning, this will all be back, we will see pride in the desert once again, and all the haters will be forced to eat it before we let them back on our bandwagon.

With a 6-3 win over the Kings this season is looking good so far! GO YOTES!
