C’est finalement arrivé. Après des années d’instabilité, de faillite, de changements de propriété et de rumeurs constantes, les Coyotes de l’Arizona ont disputé leur dernier match en Arizona. Même si certains diront que le hockey n’a pas sa place dans le désert, ironiquement, ce match a eu lieu le même soir où le meilleur buteur du monde en poursuivait actuellement 70. On peut soutenir que Auston Matthews, originaire de l’Arizona, n’aurait peut-être jamais joué au hockey sans le « hockey ». dans le désert ». C’est vraiment dommage que ce groupe de propriétaires n’ait pas pu faire les choses correctement et que maintenant des gens formidables, des fans et une communauté doivent les regarder désespérément alors qu’ils perdent leur équipe de la LNH. Une jeune équipe pleine de promesses. Les Coyotes sont absolument venus jouer face aux Oilers d’Edmonton. Ils ont apporté de l’énergie et beaucoup de buts, mais dans l’ensemble, c’était tout simplement déchirant à regarder. Les chants de Salt Lake Sucks ont éclaté et alors que les fans leur rendaient leur salut final, il n’y avait pas un œil sec dans l’arène. Je suis juste content que les fans aient pu dire au revoir. Cela dit, profitez-en pendant que je couvre le dernier match de la LNH joué au Mullet Arena ! #nhl #hockey #faits saillants #arizonacoyotes #edmontonoilers #torontomapleleafs

What should the new Salt Lake City team be called?
So NOW when they win the cup in Utah… they're NOT gonna bring it back to Winnipeg? Just can't trust that Eddie Olczyk!
Finally
Owner want money he give damn about coyotes
As a european my mind can't comprehend how you can just pack up a team and leave. Just makes the sport feel like it really has no soul
It's just a show the players are putting on. It's just lip service for the fans. You know 90% of them are ecstatic to get the hell out away from that ownership.
Wow, didn’t knew Austin Mathew was Native American
Absolutely gutted. No fanbase should ever have to lose their team to owner incompetence.
I understand why it had to happen at this point, but its still super sad to see.
Salt Lake Sultans
While it sucks for the fans, the issue is the owners. They are making more than enough money with the sale to build an amazing arena. Owners want to make money on the backs of tax payers who fund their arenas.
FCK the franchise model of US sports!
Av's fan, here. Sympathy to everyone in the Yote Pack. You are a great fan base and y'all deserve better. Hockey belongs in Phoenix.
My buddy told me that he got playoff tickets in Az for 35 bucks the year they went. The fans can pretend they supported the team, but obviously not enough people did.
Hockey may belong in Arizona, but the organization's management of the team had been just awful. The fans, and supporters of hockey in the state in general, absolutely deserved better.
Brought back memories of the Whalers' last game in Hartford …
ooo booo hoooo
no one cares and its quit clear Arizona ddnt either
Carolina fan here, seein the Yotes move away is such an unfortunate thing to happen. Even though the rumors began so few before that we'd loose them, kinda felt like no one wanted to accept the fact we lost another great hockey town.
From Carolina with love, good luck Yotes.
Utah Wolfes
Oh suck it up you fucking whiers. You'll see the team next season.
Not Pick ard. Its Pick erd
Honestly the teams outcome should of happened 10 years ago, it does suck because I hate to see any NHL fan lose their team, but no arena they always need help they can’t get to keep them there , Batman hates to be wrong so he dragged it out way too long. The Arizona fan should be blaming that guy.
From a outsider doesn’t seem like AZ supported the team for a long long time
As a person from Atlantic Canada “hockey belongs in the desert” will never resonate with me until we get a team.
no it wasn't. this franchise has been a joke for over a decade. the only thing sad bout this situation is the fact the the nhl didn't do something way sooner.
man im a chicago fan but i always loved the yotes. kills me to see them go i hope they at least keep the name but i doubt it.
New name – "Salty Mormons"?
Damn the girl waving the flag with the tears running was extra sad
i’m a hockey lover !!! and this is so sad and disgusting… they sold the team to a billionaire salt lake mormon… i just can’t understand how low the ligue scored.
this is heartbreaking for all the employees, the local staff and everyone in the Arizona hockey community.
❤️
Goodbye yotes❤
Sad to see this happen to this franchise. There's been so much behind the scenes drama with the Yotes since day one.
As much as it sucks to see this happen….hopefully a new change in scenery can finally create some stability for hockey in "the desert."
No sadness. The Bettman uprooted that team out of Winnipeg for his own vanity. NHL wasted millions propping the team up in Arizona so Bettman could save face.
Man, so tough to see. I don't care what city or sport it is, it absolutely sucks to lose the team you've been watching your whole life. Once again old, rich dudes inflicting more pain on the masses. I hope hockey can return to Phoenix/Arizona, those fans definitely deserve it!
Oilers suck
Good bye Arizona Coyotes
Garbage franchise . No playoff success. Play in front of 4000 fans..How could this have happened?😢😢😢😢
Everyone now wants to talk good about the coyotes 😂. A year ago everyone was saying that not many people care about the team and barely anyone showed up to the games
I can't imagine how hard it is to have your favorite team move to a different state. It probably feels like part of you is being taken away. I'm sorry to hear about it, Arizona Coyotes fans.
As a Arizona resident for the past 2 years these past few seasons I've truly re-gained my love for hockey from watching the Yotes with all their exciting, young talent. I even went to a few games with my dad which was always a great time. People hated on the Mullet Arena, but I found the smaller arena allowed for a superior and more intimate spectating experience. I don't really know where I'm going with this, but I just wanna express how saddening this has been for Yotes fans and how much this team meant to us. Long live the AZ Coyotes </3 ;(
As an Arizonan I’m heartbroken
